Why we’d put this one on

Chyler Leigh plays a department-store window decorator who learns her dream job has opened up right before Christmas, only to find a smooth-talking rival, Paul Campbell, eyeing the same spot. So it becomes a battle of dueling holiday window displays, a wonderfully specific thing to compete over. Naomi Judd turns up as the boss with the job to give. This is classic enemies-to-lovers territory, and the window-design angle gives it more visual fun than the usual office romance. At a 6.7 it is comfortable and festive, the kind of movie you put on while wrapping presents. Whether the rivalry ends the way these always do, I leave to you.
