The Christmas Contract
It’s Jolie’s first time going back home to Louisiana since her devastating break-up with Foster Burke. Seeing him is inevitable as their parents run the town’s annual Christmas Market together, but when she discovers Foster is bringing home a new girlfriend, Jolie cannot bear the thought of going home alone and seeing them together. Her best friend Naomi suggests that Jolie bring her flaky brother, Jack, home for Christmas as he has no plans this year. Jolie, a professional web designer, is hesitant; so, Naomi, a lawyer, creates a Christmas contract to give them both something they want—a buffer for those awkward moments around Jolie’s ex and a website to help sell Jack’s upcoming novel. Unbeknownst to them, the Christmas contract proves to be so much more than what they signed up for.
Editor's Verdict
"This film exhibits strong Christmas markers across multiple categories, fulfilling the criteria for a clear Christmas movie. The plot revolves entirely around characters returning home *for Christmas*, the action takes place during the holiday season (Christmas Market), and the resolution is implicitly tied to the emotional transformation that occurs during this specific Christmas period, even if the contract itself is the mechanism."
