PLOT:

via Hallmark: Andy (Boston) is a passionate and talented artist whose Pasadena family has been building Rose Parade floats for generations. But when her Dad gets sick and can’t lead this year’s efforts as usual, Andy has no choice but to take the helm and supervise the construction and decoration of their client’s float over Christmas with only a few weeks to go. And to make matters worse, she’s saddled with the extra challenge of dealing with Cliff, a demanding businessman whose company commissioned the float. Forced to work together, these two can’t help but clash – she’s a creative type who knows this flower-strewn process inside out, while he’s all business with no time for art. But working side-by-side over Christmas, they each learn the other is not who they seem. And together, with a ragtag team of volunteers, they might just have what it takes to create a magnificent Rose Parade float… IF they can pull it together by New Year’s.

The question is... what do you all think of these new titles?

The last title changed to a whole new holiday. I wonder what the thought behind that was - especially since it won't be premiering until after Christmas, on New Years Day! Interesting!?!?

Also, in re-searching.... I discovered Dylan Neal's co-star in 'Looks Like Christmas' will be actress Anne Heche! I would love to know what you all think of these new titles. Please share your thoughts in the comments below!
