A Boyfriend for Christmas

Kelli Williams plays Holly Grant, an idealistic lawyer who gave up on finding Mr. Right after her last breakup. Then Santa, who promised her a boyfriend back when she was thirteen, sends Ryan Hughes (Patrick Muldoon) to deliver a Christmas tree. Ryan has a good reason to keep his identity secret, so he introduces himself as “Douglas Firwood,” and that white lie threatens to derail a budding romance. It’s a warm, light holiday romance, the kind you can pop in with a mug of cocoa and watch without a second thought.

The movie premiered on the Hallmark Channel in 2004, and its title is a pun on the Douglas fir, the evergreen so often used as a Christmas tree. Charles Durning brings a gentle, twinkly touch to Santa, and the film has grown a loyal following of holiday romantics who return to it every December.
