While Twitter burns, I’m watching WELL SUITED FOR CHRISTMAS (Lifetime) after a very stressful day.
These *extremely* charming leads deserve a more interesting story, but I absolutely appreciate the authentic cultural touches. And, seriously, give all these actors another movie. pic.twitter.com/aL8OBrcZJS

It’s A Wonderful Lifetime
Have you caught up with all of the best It’s A Wonderful Lifetime movies? One of the top favorites has been Well Suited For Christmas. This movie stars Mercedes de la Zelda (The Sinner, Nancy Drew), Franco Lo Presti (The Story Of Love, 14 Love Letters), Laura Amersey (Christmas On Wheels, Christmas In Toyland), Stephanie Herrera (Fatal Family Reunion, Unlocking Christmas), Xavier Sotelo (The Republic Of Sarah, Christmas Unwrapped), and Gabriel Hudson (Pretty For A Whack Girl, Fly Away With Me).
In this movie, Rachel Rocca (de la Zerda) is a fashion designer who is getting a lot of lip service but needs a big break. Rachel is known for using a bright color palette and creating designs to make the men who wear her clothes “walk tall.”
Next, an opportunity strikes. She signs up to design a custom tuxedo for a high-profile Christmas charity event and bachelor auction.
However, she has been matched up with Brett Stone (Lo Presti), a tech magnet who is dazzling to look at, but only wears black. She tries to get Brett to move out of his comfort zone, but he is a brick wall.
Add that her parents are in town for the holidays, and she tries to balance it all. But, can she melt his heart of stone?
