But when they fail to exchange numbers and miss each other the next morning, Annie and Dave fly back to Chicago with no easy way to track the other one down.

To escape the grind of the city and re-evaluate his life, Isaiah visits his sister, Jess, and teenage niece, Aurora, in upstate New York for the holidays.

With a nudge from Aurora and the school's guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne Brigente (Hemmens), Isaiah decides to save the Christmas show and jumps in as director. Isaiah's situation gets a little more complicated when he learns that an influential Broadway producer's daughter is in the school production, so Isaiah decides to cast himself as the lead in order to land a part in an upcoming Broadway show. But while the curtain rises on rehearsals and the Christmas Eve opening night fast approaches, Isaiah finds some Christmas surprises of his own, as he stumbles upon an unexpected romance with Lilly-Anne, creates an unanticipated bond with his students, reassesses his priorities, and ultimately discovers that the greatest holiday gift is found when love, family, and friendship take center stage."

When she learns that her late great aunt left her half of a cat café in upstate New York, she thinks it's the Christmas miracle she needed – as long as she can sell and close the deal before the holidays. Olivia's plan hits a bump in the road when she meets Dr. Ben Kane (Campbell), the veterinarian who owns the other half. The café serves an important role in the town – helping homeless cats find forever homes – and he has no intention of closing up shop. Christmas is the most important time of the year, as they plan many activities to help raise funds and get them into the black. Olivia and Ben strike a deal – she agrees to help him plan the fundraising events at the café over the next three weeks in exchange for Ben promising not to drag his heels on selling at the end of that time. Unless Ben notes, she ends up changing her mind – a lot can happen in three weeks, after all. As they work together and a spark between them grows, Olivia becomes part of the neighborhood, gains an appreciation for the café's adorable feline inhabitants and what it means to Ben, as well as to the entire community. And when she learns the surprising reason her great aunt opened the café in the first place, that just might be the cat-alyst for change that will give them all a Merry Christmas."

I always smile when I read your posts, and especially love your Scripture references. Sometime I just come here to have a bright lift amidst an often dark worls. When I first began following you (and still now), it felt like a "ministry" you bring. While you always note when you haven't watched something yet, you offer discernment for finding wholesome things to watch. And the reviews of Paula, Joan, Mark25 and others here are always SO helpful! As a family, we have been blessed by what you do here, and you bring joy and light to my laptop every time I visit!
