Review time

When you hear the title, what comes to your mind?

For me, it's Taylor Swift.

Well, this movie has nothing to do with the Tylor swift song. In fact, this is a very fun rom-com that is all about Christmas in France. But what about the champagne?

The answer is simple; the two leads in the movie have a business deal about a champagne brand. This is a very fun, simple, and cozy movie that will definitely make you laugh here and there.

However, the pure comedy is locked in simple conversation and scenarios, so make sure you watch this with a friend or your partner. So, if you are a fan of France or you like the idea of romance, then you can add this to your list.

2- The Baltimorons

⏱️  Run time: 1h 40m

🎭  Genre: Comedy

Synopsis: After a dental emergency, a man gets to meet with his dentist, leading to unexpected romance and a small trip around the city.

Review time

We all can remember at least one medical emergency during Christmas that is memorable for the family.

Maybe a choking incident during dinner, a nosebleed while skating, or just an injury from the decor. But have you heard of a dental emergency?

This movie is all about a dental emergency that leads to a fun and simple meet-cute with a dentist. Most people might feel it will be another cliché rom-com, but this story is simple yet heartwarming and slightly slow pace.

It is a perfect movie to run in the background while having a family dinner.

You have watched The Family Plan (2023), and now you are confused because it was not about Christmas. 

Well, the sequel to this movie is written for the holiday season. While the plot is the same, the movie takes the old story and offers an action-packed Christmas story. Unlike most Christmas movies, the family plan offers an action-packed, comedy twist, so you do not have to get bored with rom-coms.

This is a perfect watch to enjoy with family, friends, or your loved ones. The movie is especially recommended if you loved the first part.

All three brothers aim to get home from London for the holiday season. But things get more interesting when they have to face different issues and obstacles just so they can get back home on time.

Do you believe in Christmas miracles?

If you don’t, then you are not the only one. Most people entering adult life usually do not believe in the Christmas miracle. However, this movie is a gentle reminder that bad situations might lead you to good places and people.

While I might not be able to convince you about the possibility of holiday magic, this movie might offer a thing or two to think about.
