It’s December and that means we’re getting in the holiday spirit here at That Shelf. There are countless Christmas classics that can – nay must – be revisited throughout the winter season, but we’re always on the lookout for the next heartwarming holiday movie with a dash of romance to hang our stockings on. This week’s Shelf Pick is one such movie: Meeting Mr. Christmas.
The directorial debut of Laura Mitchell (the Harry & Meghan series, A Great North Christmas), Meeting Mr. Christmas follows Sophie Montgomery (Greta Carew-Johns), an award-winning travel blogger who has made escaping from the ordinary her entire brand. High on Sophie’s list of ordinary things are the holidays and everything that they entail – family, friends, and her hometown – which makes an unplanned trip home for Christmas especially challenging for the worldly writer. But Sophie soon changes her tune when she meets a dashing local doctor (Madison Smith) whose love for Christmas is positively infectious.
Meeting Mr. Christmas is a classic Christmas tale of someone discovering a new perspective on the holidays thanks to a new love interest, directed by an actor who is a stalwart of the romance genre. It’s just what the doctor ordered!
