Writer and co-founder of GAFFInteriors.ie Caroline Foran joins Jeanne and Alan to watch Christmas With Holly (2012), the heartwarming story of a man who moves in with his brothers in a last-ditch attempt to get his deceased sister’s traumatised daughter to speak again. It’s also the heartwarming story of a jilted bride who opens a toy shop on an island in order to start over. Will they find love? With each other? Even though one of them has a long-term girlfriend? We’ll see. 

Christmas With Holly was written by Pneneh Goldstein, adapted from the novel Christmas Eve At Friday Harbour by Lisa Kleypas, directed by Alan Arkush, and stars Sean Faris and Eloise Mumford.

Christmas With Holly features not one but two Irish dancing scenes so look forward to that.

Caroline’s book Owning It: Your Bullsh*t Free Guide To Living With Anxiety is available from all good bookshops now.
