199293 min4.7 / 10

A lighthearted holiday rom-com built on deception and charm, where a fraudulent cooking show host must improvise her way through a live Christmas dinner to win over a forest ranger and redeem herself.

Elizabeth is the star of a successful cooking show and author of several cookbooks. But when her manager, Alexander sees forest ranger Jefferson, who lost his cabin in a fire, comment on TV about wishing he could get a home-cooked Christmas dinner, he arranges for a special live show on Christmas, for Elizabeth to cook him Christmas Dinner. Only Elizabeth can't cook, and trying to keep Jefferson and the viewing public from finding out on a live show may be a little difficult.
