Synopsis (via Lifetime)

Unexpectedly single at Christmas, Veronica Cleary joins The X-Mas Club-a festive foodie group for solo celebrators. As she grows close to its kind founder, Cullen Murdock, she wonders if the rule of staying single was meant to be broken.

Recap/Wine Thoughts

Veronica is a cook who is going through a breakup. A breakup is like taking down a Christmas tree; it might feel empty at first, but then you are glad to have the space back.

Veronica goes home for the holidays and gets into a love/hate relationship with a man named Cullan. They become love interests after getting locked in a deep freezer, which is sooooooo romantic.

Cullan encourages Veronica to write the cookbook she’s always wanted to write. They have a will-they-won’t-they thing, and Veronica is scared to tell Cullan how she feels. He feels the same way, and they get together and kiss under the mistletoe.

Side Note/Stray Thoughts

This was so uninteresting.
