It’s not the holidays until you’ve watched at least one Hallmark Christmas movie. This delightful and lighthearted romantic comedy follows the fireworks that ensue when a firefighter meets a veterinary student after he adopts a stray cat. Yes, the plot line is a bit predictable—that’s part of the charm of Hallmark movies! Plus, the feline best buds of this chick flick, Ambrose and Queenie, make it purrr-fectly worth a watch. Ambrose, the orange tabby, might just steal the show.
