A Christmas Movie Christmas

On Christmas Eve, sisters, roommates, and best friends Eve and Lacy Bell are each having problems. Eve, the type that doesn't want to rock the boat, works at Marley Magazine, where her boss Mr. Peterson, who doesn't know her name (and she never corrects him), gets her to do tasks below her capabilities, possibly knowing but definitely not caring that she's a designer. Eve immerses herself in Christmas romance movies, especially "Christmas in Christmas Cove" starring her favorite actor in the genre, Chad Matthew Munroe. Lacy agrees that Munroe is eye-candy, but otherwise doesn't get the appeal of these predictable cheesy flicks. Unlike Eve, Lacy does put herself out there in all aspects of her life but it's gotten her nowhere, especially in love, as demonstrated by her latest date standing her up. Before they go to sleep this night, each makes a Christmas wish as they donate to a street-corner charity Santa. The next morning, they awaken to a situation and a world they don't recognize as their own. Eve soon realizes that they have awakened to the fulfillment of her Christmas wish: she is the heroine in a typical Christmas romance movie. Christmas is now one week away and every Christmas romance movie cliche is thrown at them, including two men competing for Eve's affections, one of whom being famous singing star Chad Matthew Munroe. There is also a Scrooge-like character who bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Peterson. Eve is thrilled, but Lacy cannot understand what she's doing in this fantasy. This week will have to play itself out for both Eve and Lacy's questions about what this time in "Holiday Town" means for their real life when they go home.
