Rom Com of the Week: New Year’s Eve

How was your Christmas? I hope it was special for you.

Did you know that today is Call a Friend Day? I hope you can make time to call someone who might be feeling a little lonely.

Hey, how are your resolutions going? You still have time to set some great goals for 2023. Have you bought your 2023 calendar yet?

And now…time to get ready for New Year’s! I love this holiday. What I really like about it is the glamor and fun and the feeling like there is time for a fresh start in life.

Each week of the holiday season, I’m presenting a free-to-watch seasonal romantic comedy. Today’s offering is New Year’s Eve. I really like this one. This star-studded movie is free to watch on TubiTV. Enjoy!

Rom Com of the Week: Christmas Catch

This holiday season, I’m featuring a seasonal romantic comedy every week. And since today is Christmas Movie Marathon Day, here’s one I think you’ll like.

Today’s movie is Christmas Catch (2018). it is free to watch online on TubiTV. It’s a departure from the usual heroine-running-a-bakery Hallmark kind of Christmas movie. This one is more sassy. It features a small town police woman who falls for a jewel thief, played by the handsome Franco Lo Presti. Lauren Holly plays a Christmas-obsessed police chief.

Maybe you’ve seen Franco in this year’s “Santa’s Got Style” which is on UpTV. That’s a must-see! Both are funny movies.

Here is the trailer…but you know trailers! Don’t watch all of it because the trailers give ALL of the plot away.

Rom Com of the Week: A Very Nutty Christmas

This holiday season, I’m featuring a seasonal romantic comedy every week. Today’s movie is a Lifetime movie starring Melissa Joan Hart, A Very Nutty Christmas (2018). It’s a charming story about a baker who finds romance with a very unlikely hero. This movie is free to watch on YouTube. If you have YouTube Premium, you won’t see any commercials! Come on, you deserve it! You can watch it right here, if you want…

Rom Com of the Week: A Snow White Christmas

This holiday season, I’m featuring a seasonal romantic comedy every week. I tried to pick movies that were light and amusing.

Follow the link to watch this week’s movie for free on Tubi tv: A Snow White Christmas (2018). It’s a hoot. It’s produced by MarVista and you know how I love those MarVista movies! It has over-the-top characters, fun wardrobes, and tongue-in-cheek dialogue. Plus, a totally glam villain, her styling sidekick and a wicked hypnotist!

Besides, who needs another goody two-shoes Christmas movie?

Here’s the trailer, but like I told you before, watch the whole trailer at your own risk, because they tend to give away the whole movie…

Enjoy A Snow White Christmas!

Rom Com of the Week: Furry Little Christmas

One more day until December! This holiday season, I’m featuring a seasonal romantic comedy every week. I tried to pick movies that were light and amusing. All the movies are free to watch on TubiTV. I selected movies I haven’t seen before; maybe you haven’t, either!

Okay, I watched some of it. Not all of it. It’s good! I hope you like it.

Today’s movie is A Furry Little Christmas (2021). It’s produced by MarVista, and they always deliver a fun holiday movie with hardworking but goodhearted heroines, quirky supporting characters, gentle humor and high production values. And who doesn’t love pups and kitty cats?

Here is the preview. Now, I only recommend watching a little bit of the preview. MarVista tends to tell the whole movie in the preview and who needs spoilers? Not me! I hope you like the movie!

Synopsis: A big-city veterinarian falls for a small-town doctor when he sets out to recreate a New York City Christmas in her New England hometown.

RomCom of the Week: A Family Thanksgiving

This holiday season, I’m featuring a seasonal romantic comedy every week. I selected movies I haven’t seen before; maybe you haven’t, either! This one is free to view on YouTube.

Today’s seasonal selection is the Thanksgiving movie, A Family Thanksgiving. It features Daphne Zuniga, who some of you may remember her from Melrose Place and One Tree Hill. And there’s a cameo with Faye Dunaway. It’s not easy to find a good Thanksgiving movie. I haven’t seen this one, so I hope it’s a winner.

Rom Com of the Week: 🍇 Farm to Fork to Love 🍇

This holiday season, I’m featuring a seasonal romantic comedy each week. All the movies are free to watch on TubiTV. I selected movies I haven’t seen before; maybe you haven’t, either!

Today’s seasonal selection features a main character who is a New York City sous chef, Farm to Fork to Love (2021). She’s invited to judge a cooking competition in Kansas City, but the real competition is between two men who both want her as their main course…er…squeeze. There are gorgeous autumn scenes in sunlit vineyards, amazing and luxurious interiors and scenes of Kansas City, someplace I’ve never been. Maybe this will inspire you as you get ready for Thanksgiving meal preparation! Check out the trailer.

So, pour yourself a glass of wine or pomegranate juice, put your feet up and enjoy the movie of the week!
