8. Holidate
This one I was actually able to watch with my husband because its also a comedy. It's a little raunchy in places, but there is definitely some romance too! It's about two strangers who pretend to be together to face the holidays without all the family talk of relationships. They make a promise not to fall for each other, but you know how those promises end up.
9. Midnight at the Magnolia
Two local radio hosts Maggie and Jack are hoping their show will be syndicated. One thing leads to another and they somehow fake that they have a relationship which seems to ramp up their listeners. Like all lies, it eventually blows up in their face.
10. Best Christmas Ever
Best Christmas Ever takes you on a whirlwind of emotions as two friends reunite over Christmas time after the GPS coordinates are entered wrong (on purpose). As their families celebrate Christmas, there is love, heartbreak, and comedy all mixed together!
