Single on the 25th
Subtitle: How to Be Alone, Festive, and Accidentally in Love
If you’ve ever screamed “RELATABLE!” at a Hallmark movie character decorating cookies in an aggressively plaid sweater, Single on the 25th might just be your new favorite snow-dusted serotonin boost. This one delivers the classic Hallmark holiday movies formula but with a twist: instead of being dumped, widowed, or workaholicked into holiday romance, our heroine chooses to be alone for Christmas. Naturally, Hallmark movies had none of that.
Nell, played by Lyndsy Fonseca, decides to spend Christmas solo after her family’s plans fall through, which in Hallmark language means: cue the hot neighbor. Enter Cooper (Daniel Lissing), the kind of guy who just “happens” to be single, charming, and fully available for gingerbread-related meet-cutes.
What follows is a magical week filled with cocoa, Christmas karaoke, soft-focus tree lighting, and more eye contact than a Jane Austen adaptation. It’s got all the staples of Hallmark holiday movies: improbable availability, spontaneous snowfalls, and a cast of supporting characters who exist only to nudge romance along like holiday-themed cupids.
The moral of the story? You might plan to be single on the 25th, but Hallmark movies don’t care about your plans — they care about pairing you with a neighbor whose only flaw is “hasn’t kissed you under the mistletoe yet.”
In summary: it's festive, flirty, and proof that even if you're emotionally prepared for a solo holiday, the Hallmark universe is not.
