Brian is back to help us officially wrap up the holiday season with the newest Hallmark Christmas movie, A Make or Break Holiday.

A couple hosting Christmas decides to fake their relationship for their families after choosing to separate. Working together for the perfect holiday helps them remember why they fell in love.

• Hunter King as Liv
• Evan Roderick as Daniel

The movie kicks off like a Nutella commercial. Liv is throwing a Christmas party when a guy named Daniel crashes into her, sending eggnog everywhere. Instead of being mad, they hit it off immediately and end the night kissing under a Christmas wreath.

From there, they start dating, fall in love, and eventually buy a house together. Cut to the following Christmas: they’re hosting both of their families in the new house. But it quickly becomes clear that things in Loveland are not as perfect as they seem. Liv is extremely stressed, while Daniel’s solution is basically, “You should just put all that stress in a box somewhere.” Shockingly, this does not help.

The tension boils over into an argument, and they decide to take a break. The problem? Neither of them can bring themselves to tell their parents. So they agree to pretend everything is fine for the holidays.

Once the families arrive, chaos ensues. Liv’s dad is aggressively committed to traditions she hates — including an absolutely unhinged candy game. Daniel’s sister immediately clocks that something is wrong and confronts him. He comes clean to her, just as Liv confides in her brother. Both siblings agree to keep the secret… for now.

As they stumble through Christmas together, there are moments where Liv and Daniel remember how much they still love each other — followed by moments that push them even further apart. Their families don’t help. Everyone has opinions about everything, and it’s exhausting.

Things finally come to a head when Liv finds the engagement ring Daniel had planned to use.

At last, they come clean to the entire family. Realizing they haven’t been giving each other what they actually need, Liv and Daniel choose to recommit to one another. They make up, kiss, and Daniel officially proposes.

And, in the true spirit of Christmas miracles, a Gobler Farms turkey is delivered on Christmas morning.
