What Is Hallmark’s Checkin’ It Twice About?

Hallmark is headed to the ice rink in the first Countdown To Christmas movie Checkin’ It Twice. What is this romcom all about? According to the synopsis, real estate agent Ashley and minor league journeyman Scott may not have ever met, but they have a lot in common.

Both have just gone through difficult breakups. In addition, both are at the Trout Falls, Idaho, airport gift shop. They are picking up a few things before heading into town.

Although they haven’t met, it seems that fate will ensure that they do. That is because they have both accidentally put their credit cards in the other’s pocket.

Ashley is a real estate agent living in New York City. She is headed home for a mental break from the big city and her high-pressure job. Spending time with her family will help her gain her equilibrium.

As for Scott, he is the new guy in town. Now, he is playing for the Division III hockey team, which is well-supported by the Trout Falls locals. However, his eyes are on the prize. That would be the big leagues. That has always been his dream, but despite his hard work, it is still elusive.

It is not long before Ashley and Scott run into each other. That is because he is staying in her family’s backyard cottage. Soon, the two begin to participate in her family’s holiday traditions, as well as the Trout Falls festivities. This Idaho town loves Christmas and doing everything in a spectacular way.

“When Scott’s dream comes true and is called up to a Division II team, and Ashley has a shot at a high-profile real estate deal back in New York City, it seems they will part way forever, but Ould their new dreams be with each other instead?”
