What is Lifetime’s The Holiday Dating Guide About?

According to The Futon Critic, Abigale Slater (Menounos) is a dating coach. Moreover, she is an aspiring writer whose dream is starting to come to fruition.

She has just written her first book on dating in the modern world. Now, she needs to get this work published.

However, Jack (Vinovich), her publisher, is not holding back the reins. More so, he wants to know if her methods actually work. He is ready to say no to Abigale when she makes a promise. She vows that she will prove that her rules work by making a man fall in love with her by Christmas Eve. That gives her exactly 12 days to make it happen.

The irony is that Abigale has never made relationships a priority. She has not been looking for the one, despite her profession. But, this changes when she meets Michael Ryan (Bailey). Now, she really wants this to happen. She follows her own advice, but can she make the romance of her dreams happen?

  1. The Holiday Dating Guide sounds wonderful! I grew up in Tifton, and I think the movie’s featured house on the corner of 20th and Murray is my childhood home. I can’t watch the movie tonight, but I will try to stream it tomorrow. Via Instagram, I just watched the star walk by the TIft Theater. Fun! Someone said that an “office” is in ABAC, and my mother taught English there years ago. Filming in August must have been challenging! 🙂 The heat and humidity are worse then than in any other time of the year. Well done!!!
