Hallmark’s New Year New Movies includes a romance about a woman who keeps to the same schedule due to anxiety. However, a time capsule helps her loosen up and look beyond her fears. Maybe even find love.

Romancing The Birthday Girl stars Emilie Ullerup (Chesapeake Shores, Nature Of Love), Clayton James (When Calls The Heart, Superman and Lois), Grace Beedie (Cut, Color, Murder, Five Star Christmas), Daphne Hoskins (Scaredy Cats, The Baby-Sitters Club), and Teagan Vincze (The Unauthorized Melrose Place Story, Exile).

This movie has had a few name changes. First, it was Time Capsule Romance. Next, Don’t Forget That I Love You. Now, it is Romancing The Birthday Girl.

Whatever the title, what is this movie all about?

What Is Hallmark’s Romancing The Birthday Girl About?

According to the Hallmark synopsis, Taylor (Ullerup) is celebrating her 30th birthday. The celebration starts like any of her normal days. This is how Taylor likes it. She begins her day with an anti-anxiety exercise. Next, she heads into work as the sole proprietor of Space to Live. This is a store that offers everything for organizational needs. Yes, she is a type-A.

The only thing different seems to be Josh (James), the cute single dad and new neighbor. He has just moved in across the street and seems to be an unorganized mess. When Taylor is gifted with a map, her uneventful birthday turns into a life-altering event. That is because the map leads her to a buried time capsule.

With the help of her dad, Taylor opens the time capsule. Inside the time capsule, she discovers her late mother has left her six numbered envelopes. Also included are instructions to open them consecutively over six weeks. Each weekly envelope contains a challenge for Taylor to complete.

These challenges were designed by her mother to help face the anxieties her mother knew that would hold her back. Helping push Taylor to conquer her anxieties, Josh also harbors fears of his own – that he isn’t enough for his daughter.

However, what he didn’t bargain for are his feelings for Taylor, as he’s pulled into the excitement of the challenges. With each challenge she completes, Taylor expands her horizons and is given the nudge she needs in life to help her open her mind to the possibility of love.
