What Is Holiday Date About?
Poor Brooke (Bristow)! Her boyfriend dumps her right before the holidays. She doesn’t want to go home to Whispering Pines without a guy on her side. Worse yet, she has promised her family that this boyfriend is “Mr. Christmas.” She just cannot face her family without her promised date. But soon, a solution presents herself.
According to the Hallmark preview, she and her girlfriends meet some guy friends at a bar. There, she is introduced to Joel (Cohen), who happens to be an actor. He is very cute and he is currently looking for work. One of Brooke’s friends has a brilliant idea. She thinks that Joel should put those acting skills to good use and pretend to be this Christmas-loving boyfriend that Brooke has been bragging about. But when Brooke discovers Joel is Jewish, she doesn’t think that he can pull this off and fool her family.
Nonetheless, the couple visit her family in Whispering Pines. They eventually do discover that Joel is indeed Jewish, but they want him to celebrate his traditions alongside their Christmas traditions. As Brooke and Joel learn more about each other’s traditions, and tell personal stories, they become closer.
