The premise

With her California hometown in the rear-view mirror, Belle heads north on business to facilitate the estate sale of a mansion. While the job is a dream, the client, Hunter Lowell, is not. But, as the two spend more time together, his icy demeanor begins to melt. Although their relationship is budding, Belle's long-time suitor, Tony, arrives, sending mixed signals to Hunter while adding chaos to the holiday season.

How unusual is it?

Middle of the road, with a twist — an enemies-to-lovers arc keeps it from being totally by-the-book.

Why we’d put this one on

Haylie Duff heads north to run the estate sale of a grand old mansion and clashes with its frosty owner, Hunter (Nicholas Gonzalez), while a longtime suitor turns up to muddy the waters. C. Thomas Howell is in the mix too. The 5.1 rating is the lowest of this bunch, and honestly it plays like a lovable misfire: the ice-melting-grump arc moves fast and the love triangle feels a touch overstuffed for 85 minutes. But the estate setting is pretty and the bones are pure Hallmark. A fine candidate for a forgiving bad-movie-night crowd who like a grumpy hero and a big house.
