Sappy Holiday

 

Joy is a talented chef who is working hard on becoming a new executive chef. Something goes wrong with a blogger who comes to dine at the restaurant Joy (JJ) is working for. The review didn't go so well and now Joy faces the reality her boyfriend will propose on Christmas Eve. She has a conversation with her dad that she's only been dating him for several months and an engagement is way to soon for them.

Later, she agrees to visit her boyfriends family in Vermont and drives her boyfriend's car and as it begins to snow, Joy has a little car accident. And then she meets James. He is nice enough to help JJ with her car and gives her a lovely place to stay while the car gets fixed. 

James is a maple farmer and has an interesting career. He shows Joy how maple syrup is made and their relationship starts to warm up. Before meeting Joy...He sees a shooting star and wished for snow. His niece wished for something entirely different and believes Joy is her wish come true. Joy cooks for them and helps with arts and crafts for Christmas. 

As time goes by Joy and James grow closer together however Joy refuses to kiss him because of her soon to be fiance. At this point their chemistry grows while her car is still being fixed. Her boyfriend doesn't come to get her and that looks like a lack of love on his part. 


So she makes it to her boyfriend's family home and finds herself alone there. It is far from the maple farms warm and friendly environment. Her boyfriend's mom is the mayor of their town and she's snobby- far from a nice mother in-law Joy deserves. Jy makes paper snow flakes and the mayor says is she using scissors on her couch. Joy tries giving her a hug and doesn't allow it. The are pretty mean people. 

Joy loves her career as a chef but her boyfriend doesn't tell his parents Joy is a chef. The boyfriend is a doctor and there are parts of him that seems embarrassing to say she cooks food for a living. The proposal was set out to make his mom look better in the campaign she's running for. When you know in your heart you don't fit in some ones family it doesn't go away.

Joy is a perfect fit for James and his family, and there's chemistry between the two. Joy makes the decision to return to the maple farm. She is rescued again by James and they start a new life together and James asks Joy to marry him, and she says yes. 

This is wonderful romantic and jolly movie for the season and the two romantics have a lot I common. I was never tired of watching this movie and it deserves a five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 review. A great movie for helpless romantics.
