Holly's Holiday

Holly's Holiday is a romantic comedy film from 2012 that revolves around the life of Holly Maddux (Claire Coffee). Holly is a demanding and career-oriented marketing executive in Los Angeles who is not interested in love, as she believes that it would interfere with her career goals. However, her intense personality and aggressive work ethic often cause her to clash with her colleagues and boss, which leads to her being passed up for a well-deserved promotion.

One day, Holly is accidentally transported to an alternate reality where she is an ordinary person with a simple life. In this reality, she is a desk clerk at a quaint inn in a town called Mistletoe.

As she adjusts to her new life in Mistletoe, she meets a charming and handsome local named Jack (Ryan McPartlin). Jack is a carpenter who runs his own business and was once a professional hockey player. Unlike Holly, Jack is warm and laidback, always ready to help anyone in the community. Holly sees Jack as a distraction at first, but as she spends more time with him, she slowly starts to let her guard down and rediscover her joy in life.

As her time in Mistletoe comes to an end and she faces the prospect of returning to her old life, Holly must decide whether to embrace her former life as a high-powered executive or take a chance on love and the simpler, happier life she has found in Mistletoe.

Throughout the film, the contrasts between Holly's two lives are emphasized, with the fast-paced and high-stress L.A. lifestyle on one side, and small-town charm and community on the other. The characters in Holly's Holiday are well-drawn, with a clear distinction between the brash and demanding Holly in L.A. and the more relaxed, down-to-earth Holly in Mistletoe. Ryan McPartlin's character, Jack, is the perfect foil for Holly's more uptight personality, and their budding romance is sweet and genuine.

Despite the fantastical elements of the story, Holly's Holiday ultimately delivers a relatable and heartwarming message about the importance of finding balance in life and not losing touch with what's truly important. With its blend of humor, romance, and whimsy, Holly's Holiday is an enjoyable and uplifting holiday movie that will leave you feeling warm inside.
