Movie of the Week Recommendation: Christmas Getaway

Posted in Movies, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on December 19, 2017| Leave a Comment »

On December 23, the Hallmark Channel holiday movie Christmas Getaway will debut at 8 PM.

Travel writer Emory has never had a traditional Christmas. Although her free spirit makes her the perfect travel writer, a surprising breakup with her boyfriend takes her personal life back to square one. Hoping to spend the holiday relaxing and recovering, Emory takes the picturesque Christmas vacation planned for the two of them, alone. Through a mix up on the rental site – or maybe a little Christmas magic – Emory is forced to share the cabin with a handsome widower, his young daughter, and mother-in-law. What begins as an annoying inconvenience blooms into a romance she never knew was possible, and a Christmas they will cherish forever.

The film stars Bridget Regan and Travis Van Winkle (both from The Last Ship).

Here is a trailer for Christmas Getaway.

Here is how the lone drama of the night fared in the overall ratings last night:

10 PM Show:
Scorpion (CBS) [NEW – Winter Finale] – 5.3 million viewers
