I am stunned. I may have found a good Christmas romance movie. Let’s get into it.

Maggie (Natalie Hall) and Jack (Evan Williams) have been best friends since high school. Now they co-host a relationship radio show. When they get an offer to syndicate their show, they agree to a New Year’s Eve event where they will introduce their significant others to their parents. Things take a turn for the worse when their partners break up with them. They decide to pretend to be a couple in order to continue with the event.

For the first time, I enjoyed a Christmas romance movie. Midnight at the Magnolia on Netflix has a good blend of best-friendship and romance. Since Maggie and Jack have been friends forever, we get to see both their serious and their goofy sides. In the real world, this is how a lot of long-lasting relationships start. As friends.

To be honest, there isn’t much more to the movie. There is little time dedicated to their jobs, which is actually a good thing. The movie isn’t about their jobs or their troubles. It’s about their changing relationship. And Midnight at the Magnolia handles it well.

This is definitely a movie I can recommend. Especially if you are looking for a good romance movie. There isn’t a ton of Christmas, there isn’t a ton of fluff. It’s just a good romantic story.
