🎄 2021 Christmas Binge Watch Movie #97 🎄 


At fist I thought this was gonna be like a mixed up Cinderella take simply because it has two strangers dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus flirting away not knowing who the other is. She even drops her glove that the dude picks up. This movie quickly swerves plot wise to basically ‘The Shop Around the Corner’, or ‘You’ve Got Mail.’ Pick whatever iteration of movie that has two people writing each other not realizing the other is a coworker they dislike. 


This movie is just okay. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel so to speak. There’s so much anti big corporation talk while the character is working for a big corporation. This movie is exactly what you’d expect this type of movie to be. The acting is decent, as is the chemistry. It’s a serviceable enough holiday romance.   


Almost forgot, this movie’s non-Lifetime title is ‘Falling in Love at Christmas.’  

My Rating: ⭐⭐ 






Where to Watch: Lifetime, Prime Video
