What Is Lifetime’s Sweet Navidad About?
According to The Futon Critic, Camen (Banus) is a pastry chef that learned from her relations. She has a dream of owning her own bakery and selling her Puerto Rican-influenced pastries. This is what her relations did in the past. She wants to continue this tradition.
Carmen gets closer to her dreams when hotel owner Victor Flores (Fumero) tries some of her pastries. His hotel has a holiday gala every year and chefs compete for the opportunity to cook for this high-profile event. Therefore, Victor invites Carmen to apply to compete for this honor.
However, Carmen balks at this chance. She knows that she will be competing with those who have culinary school experience and internships with high-profile chefs. She doesn’t think she can stand a chance.
But, her family pushes her. Carmen competes and she is chosen as the pastry chef. She needs to work with chef Jax (Hapka) to create a memorable meal for the holidays.
Subsequently, when the two start working in the kitchen together, they are like oil and water. Jax is very neat and tidy, while Carmen is a whirling dervish. He focuses on precision, while she focuses on cooking from the heart.
Yet, they still don’t create something that the hotel owner deems worthy of such a special holiday meal. Now, Carmen and Jax must learn to work together.
As they do, they start to find something in each other that is more than just sparks.
