Daniella has recently moved to New York to pursue an art career and decides to stay in town to share the holidays with her circle of artist friends, instead of going home to see her sweet, if overbearing, parents. Amelia is a talented entertainment lawyer trying to stay focused on her work after a broken engagement. When Daniella and Amelia are set up by their parents, they agree to pretend that they are dating, to appease them for the holidays. However, as they spend time in each other’s worlds, they soon build a connection that is deeper than either of them could have hoped for.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic holiday confection, relying on the familiar fake-dating trope but framing it around two driven women with distinct careers and personal hurdles. It explores themes of self-discovery and new beginnings against the cozy backdrop of a snowy New York, prioritizing genuine character moments over sheer novelty.

Those who tire of cynical plots will find a sincere, heartwarming escape here. What lingers after the credits is a gentle, festive glow and the sweet satisfaction of a promise kept. — MovieFinder Editorial
