I guess now we have to add real estate agent to the list of Christmas movie jobs. There are more realtors in this movie than ‘regular’ people. Was RE/MAX a sponsor?

Julia (Lexi Giovagnoli) and Chad (Travis Burns) are competing realtors. When the owners of a nearby inn announce that they are getting ready to sell their business, Julia and Chad stay at the inn to compete for the listing.

Does this really happen? When a business decides to sell their real estate, do they hold a competition of sorts in order to pick a realtor? I thought you just picked a realtor. If you don’t like the one you picked, you fire them and hire another. This “come stay with us so we can get to know you” thing is weird.

Let’s assume that the scenario is a really real thing. At no point do Julia and Chad have any sort of romantic energy. There’s a few moments where they go from hating each other’s guts to something edging on friendship but I never got the feeling that they were “Meant To Be” or anything. So when they kissed at the end…it was kinda gross.

Sorry, Lifetime, but I can’t recommend The Christmas Listing to anyone. I will never get back the time I wasted watching it.
