THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – TRIVIA AT ST. NICK'S (2024)

 

Its Christmas at Hampstead University in Vermont and when all the students have left for winter break the faculty and the locals have only one thing on their minds, the annual Christmas Trivia Tournament at Nick’s Bar.

No one loves the tournament more than Astronomy Professor Celeste (Tammin Sursok) who thinks that her team, The Quizmas Elves, has a real chance of winning this year as she had persuaded and ex Jeopardy! winner Math professor Richard (Denis Ooi) to join the team.

The other 5 members were, Celeste, her best friend Ashley (Kathleen Elizabeth Monteleone) her husband Freddie (Ari Brand), her mother Sherry (Elizabeth Keifer, and History Professor Gary (Willie C. Carpenter).

However, on the evening of the sign-up Richard drops out leaving them one player short and they need 6 to compete.

So, she has no alternative but to accept the new offensive coach, Max.

(Brant Daugherty) despite her loathing for Jock’s

But he has a winning mentality but with a more relaxed attitude and brings a different dynamic to the team and Celeste sees a different side to him and the two of them start to fall for each other.

So will the team triumph in the trivia tournament and will they have a happy-ever-after.
