Beatrice isn’t much of a Christmas person and usually spends it quietly with her best friend Emilia. This year, however, Emilia has won a trip for two to Christmasland, a town entirely dedicated to traditional Christmas celebrations. After much persuasion, Beatrice finally agrees to go along, as she needs inspiration for an article her editor wants for the holiday season. Emilia is all set to fully immerse herself in the romanticised Christmas spirit, but the more sceptical Beatrice is paired with Ethan, the son of their inn’s owner, as her guide around the town. But what is real, and what’s just there to create the perfect Christmas atmosphere?
As a romantic Christmas movie, this works well, and even better if you’ve seen romantic Christmas movies before. They’ve made a thing out of the town being a spectacle, which means you can’t quite trust what’s real and what’s made up for the sake of the illusion.
