When her on-air partner decides to depart America's favorite morning show, Veronika Daniels announces that she will be choosing her new co-host from a handful of candidates that includes Charlie Fisher, a local NY newscaster who is the son of a broadcasting legend. However, when Emily Morgan, a human interest reporter for the local Connecticut station, makes an impassioned on-air plea to be considered for the job, the game changes for everyone as video of Emily's declaration goes viral and the network brass decide to put her in the running. Veronika delights in the healthy competition she sees brewing, and encourages the candidates to bring their A game in the segments and stories they do between now and the Christmas Day Telethon, when she will announce her choice. As the competition narrows, and it becomes clear that either Charlie or Emily are going to get the job, they begin to rediscover a spark between them that started long ago. (Hallmark Channel)

The problem with this film is that the poster alone can give it away. But it doesn't really matter, because this is exactly the kind of movie that American television pushes on people at Christmas. After all, it always ends well, and it always emphasizes family values that the characters don't realize any other time than Christmas.

I saw Christmas Getaway the other day and now I'm feeling a kind of unpleasant déjà vu. I could count the differences in the plot on one hand! I took into account the fact that director Peter Sullivan had made Broadcasting Christmas a year earlier, the cast was more likable, and the overall film was a bit better. (35%)
