Not one but TWO male love interests? Is that even allowed?
Megan (Michelle Argyris) helps people with their Christmas tasks, usually saving them from imminent social disasters. Chase (Connor McMahon) runs a design studio that should help Megan take her DIY blog to a new level. Kurt (Travis Nelson), who owns a local toy store, mistakes Megan-the-Christmas-girl for Megan-the-marketing-whiz. Now Christmas-Megan has to help Kurt find a marketing plan that will save his store. But which man will Megan fall in love with?
The “which man will she choose” conflict is an interesting change in the Christmas romance movies. Usually, we know who the couple is and, even if they aren’t together in the beginning of the movie, we know they will end up together. Though that is kinda true here. We can tell who Megan is going to pick, even if takes her awhile to make that decision. But it was a nice change from the norm.
To be honest, Homemade Christmas was kinda cute. Granted, Megan’s job is weird. Like, what does she do during the rest of the year? Her business is called Christmas for Hire….it’s not like people are doing Christmas stuff in March. Christmas in July is a thing but Christmas in August isn’t. She straight up says she doesn’t get a lot of traffic to her blog so that isn’t paying the bills. How, Megan? How are you not living on the street?
OK. OK. The movie is cute. Megan and Kurt do have a playful flirty chemistry that I like a lot. Everyone else is garbage but it doesn’t matter since they are the main characters. Should you watch it? Go right ahead. Though you might need a cup of hot chocolate to go with it.
