What's The 12 Dates of Christmas about?
The 12 Dates of Christmas follows Christina, a successful store owner who has devoted her time and energy to her career, at the expense of her dating life.
So, after spending another Christmas Eve without a significant other, she makes the decision to go on 12 dates in the 12 weeks leading up to Christmas in the hopes of finding her perfect match.
Yes, there is, and it just dropped today (and the PLL fan in me is losing my mind)! The trailer showcases Christina making a pledge that she will not spend another holiday season alone, especially after her mom makes it a point to tell her she doesn't want her to end up alone.
Then, what ensues in the trailer is a string of hilarious dates that prove dating isn't as easy as it sounds.
Until the moment every rom-com fan hopes for happens. Christina seems to have a spark with a handsome stranger named Peter. And yes, Pretty Little Liars fans, this is when Lucy Hale and Ian Harding reunite on screen. I'm already swooning.
Basically, I want to curl up on my couch with a hot chocolate and get into the Christmas spirit with this movie ASAP.
