Claire’s fresh start turns chilling when eerie holiday decorations begin appearing in her apartment… each one a message from someone who knows her too well. Who is the dangerous “Secret Santa” watching her?
Recap/Wine Thoughts
The movie starts like your typical Christmas movie. Claire, who works in marketing, and the town handyman, Jesse, decorate the town and seem like a cute movie couple. Clare is up for a big job in New York and is leaving her hometown, Pine Hollow, for the big city.
Slone, Clare’s college friend who got her the job, shows her around. The company gets Claire an unreal NYC apartment, which makes Jesse insecure. He didn’t want to break up and doesn’t understand why Clare had to move away.
A neighbor named Miles helps Claire with her wifi and comes into her apartment to check her modem. He lives next door, and there is a drilling sound from his apartment. Claire wondered who would be doing construction in the middle of the night. Steve from the end of the hall, who should really embrace growing a mustache, is much swaver than Miles and asks Claire on a date.
The date goes well, and Claire listens to smooth jazz while making pasta. She hears something in the hall, but it is just someone moving into the apartment next door. She asks the doorman, and he laughs in her face.
While leaving for work the next morning, Claire notices a snowglobe from her hometown out on the mantel. She could have sworn she put it away. Then she gets a card with “DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?” written on the back. Claire thinks it could be her mom trying to get her to move home… or a stalker.
Claire’s voice assistant, Elmer, plays nothing but smooth jazz, except when it is hacked and plays ominous Christmas music. Claire and Steve make out, and Elmer refuses to play smooth jazz while they smooch. Claire is more freaked out than she needs to be.
She comes home the next day, and her whole house is decorated!!!!!! Claire calls the police, haha. I love it. Everyone is just as concerned as Claire. Steve and Slone both offer Claire a place to stay.
Miles turns out to be gay, which excludes him from being obsessed with Claire romantically, but not from decorating. Honestly, it makes him more guilty. Claire DE-DECORATES her apartment and changes her locks.
It doesn’t stop the messages. Claire asks the maintenance guy for help, and honestly, he is the hottest guy, so it must be him. He tells her to get Miles to set up surveillance in her house. Miles installs a fire alarm camera. Claire pretends to be going out of town to catch her intruder in the act.
Miles and Claire stay up watching the camera and catch the intruder red-handed. They write “DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE” on the mirror in lipstick. I’m like, isn’t this movie called “DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?”
Surprisingly, no one has died yet, so it is time for Larry, the building manager, to be pushed down the stairs.
Claire finds a hat that she recognizes from the surveillance video in Steve’s house and leaves awkwardly. She goes to the detectives again, who aren’t helpful and tell Claire to let them do the investigating. They find evidence in Steve’s apartment, and it doesn’t look good.
Restless and paranoid, Claire reviews the footage and Steve is cleared with a solid alibi. Claire notices a reflection in the mirror of the video, and it is THE HANDY MAN from her hometown.
Jesse shows up at Claire’s apartment with OJ gloves on, and she throws so many things at him, but he manages to grab her and drags her into the construction apartment. He explains that if Claire thought the city was dangerous, she might move home and be with him.
Claire hits him with a wrench and shouts, “DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?!?!”
One week later, Claire is thriving, and everyone thinks she is good at her job. She dates Steve and tells him she is home with him. Meanwhile, Miles is bringing twinks home in the elevator.
Merry Christmas!

I’m so glad Miles wasn’t killed or turned out to be the stalker. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy and was my favorite character in this. That being said, this did not look like New York at all. The streetlights in the background were giving Atlanta. And the streets and sidewalks were looking a little too clean. Source: I am originally from ATL currently residing in NYC for college.
Lol’ed at the last line. Also, I didn’t realize until you said but your first stray thought is so true. She’s sleeping, she’s not sleeping, the sun is kind of never there.
Didn’t enjoy this one!
“I’m like, isn’t this movie called “DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?” LOL”
Her yelling off of the fire escape gave me Jennifer Love Hewitt I Know What You Did Last Summer vibes.
This movie was a weird mix to me. It kind of felt like a Hallmark Mystery, not a Lifetime movie. It felt out of place. It filled in time for me, but I think I would’ve rather have watched a Hallmark mystery
