A Hot Cocoa Christmas Movie Review

A Hot Cocoa Christmas is a delightful holiday movie about a woman from a wealthy home who hides her true identity in hopes that a man will want to date her for herself.  It becomes even more fun when she has to sneak around to keep him from finding out that the new marketing account his company hopes to land, is with her mother.

We frequently see movies about rich men who want to find a wife that will love them and not their money.  They keep their wealth a secret when dating.  I liked the twist of it being the female who withholds her true identity this time.

It does seem that one lie leads to another though in order to keep the secret.  Plus, the question of when to reveal the secret definitely becomes a problem in a blossoming relationship.

_____

Once again, a movie undergoes a name change.  A Hot Cocoa Christmas was released in 2021 and originally named Much Ado About Christmas.  In my case, I am certain I selected this movie to watch because "hot cocoa" was in the name.  Therefore, I think it was a great name change.  

 

A Hot Cocoa Christmas Movie Synopsis

A Hot Cocoa Christmas

When Haley Logan Lloyd (Susie Abromeit) steps in to help serve hot cocoa at a Christmas party, she has a rare opportunity to meet two men who have no idea who she is.  That is an awesome advantage for her because both men are more honest about who they are when interacting with a nobody barista making and serving them hot cocoa.  

With one, Claud Miller (Torrance Coombs), she experiences instant attraction.  The other shows his less attractive side which keeps her from falling for his "gentlemanly facade" after he finds out her real identity.

Unbeknownst to Haley, both men are at the Christmas party to curry favor with Leona Lloyd, owner of Lloyd Industry, and Haley's mother.  They both work for advertising agencies that are vying for her new fragrance line account. 

Before Claud leaves the party, he spots Haley and asks her for her number.  She writes her name and phone number on a napkin for him, but she leaves her last name off.  She just wants a "real" relationship based on attraction and love, not prestige.

Just to add a little more fun to the movie, Haley's best friend, Beatrice, previous dated Claud's co-worker, Ben.  When Haley and Ben play matchmakers by inviting them to join them for Christmas karaoke, Beatrice and Ben find they are still attracted to each other.  For those of us who are hopeless romantics, having a second happy couple in the movie, is like adding whipped topping on hot cocoa.  Just makes it all the better!

Haley and Claud make a really cute couple.  Your heart breaks a little when Claud finds out who she really is and feels betrayed.

Advent Wreaths ~ A Special Way to Countdown to Christmas~ From the Heart

For many people Christmas is a time of gift giving and holiday cheer, but for Christians, this time before Christmas marks a very special time to get ourselves ready for the Birth of the Christ Child.

A great way for family's to do this preparation is with a Christmas Wreath.   

What exactly is this Christmas Wreath?  

It's not just a door decoration but rather a decoration that sits on the Family's Dining Room or Living Room table.

It is a wreath made usually from evergreens and possibly decorated with some poinsettias or berries in between.  There is place on this wreath for 4 candles.

What is the meaning of all this?  Well from a Christian perspective, there is lots of  traditional symbolism involved with the Advent Wreath.

So let's break it down!  

• A wreath is round, a circle symbolizing no beginning and no end.
• It is usually covered with evergreens, either cedar or pine, again symbolizing everlasting life.
• All Advent Wreaths should have 4 Candles around the perimeter of the circle.  
• 4 Candles, 3 purple and one pink.  Sometimes Christians will add a 5th candle in the middle of White.
• 3 Purple candles symbolize, Faith, Hope and Love with the pink candle symbolizing Joy!

• The White Candle if added is a symbol of Christ and the Light of the World.

How do you use the Advent wreath?  Well for most Christians, each Sunday before Christmas is a countdown to the Big Event!  Not the coming of Santa Claus, but rather the coming of the Christ child.

Each Sunday for the 4 weeks before Christmas,  a candle is lit and the family sometimes will read the Bible story of the coming of Christ.

Week 1 will see one purple candle lit, week 2 two purple candles are lit, week 3 the pink candle is lit, and week 4 the last purple candle is lit.  Why the Pink candle?  Well as it gets closer and closer to the actual Christmas day, you can feel the Joy of the family waiting in anticipation.  By Christmas all 4 Candles are burning brightly.  Some family's will add that 5th candle, a White One, on Christmas Day symbolising the birth of the Christ Child.

Many times some of the symbolism will be scrapped and white or gold or red candles will replace the purple and pink, or a color of your choice to match your decor.  It is entirely up to you and your beliefs if you have an  traditional Advent Wreath in your home. 

Christmas will come one way or another, but sometimes it's nice to have the reminders of the reason for the season and help your family understand the story! 

Amazon has a lovely Advent Wreath that can be purchased here: https://amzn.to/4gx2alv 

Candles must be purchased separately here: https://amzn.to/4fsLY3T

Three Wiser Men And A Boy Hallmark Movie Review

Hallmark's Three Wiser Men And A Boy is a sequel to Hallmark's very successful Three Wiser Men And A Baby in 2022. The original was the most watched Hallmark movie in 2022 and fans were eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Time fast forwards five years from the end of the original movie; hence, 'and a baby' becomes 'and a boy'.  In the original movie, three brothers with the help of their mother take on caring for an abandoned newborn during the holidays. Comedy prevails as the bachelor brothers accept their mission with limited skills. In the interim between original and sequel, the baby is a member of the family.

The school Christmas musical plays a pivotal role in the storyline as the brothers volunteer their talents to save the musical the Hallmark way!

The Hallmark A Team

Hallmark fans will immediately recognize the three stars: Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell and Tyler Hynes. Each are Hallmark favorite actors who are on the top of the list of popular Hallmark films. Hallmark star Kimberly Sustad makes a small cameo as her contribution to this film is as a writer.

Margaret Colin plays the mother of the three brothers and is a welcome addition with comedic flair and a seasoned pro of film and television.

The Chemistry

The chemistry between the three brothers and Colin as the mother definitely shines in this movie. Each brother has a definite and different personality lane, but it is the chemistry between all which helps ensure a successful Hallmark movie.  The storyline with the mothers' boyfriend and his interactions with the brothers and the musical was not particularly believable, but the great chemistry between the rest of the cast overshadows the minor boyfriend storyline.

The Writers

The same team which wrote Three Wiser Men And A Baby (who coincidentally happen to be on the Hallmark A team actor list) also wrote Three Wiser Men And A Boy. Paul Campbell stars in both movies and Kimberly Sustad has a supporting role in each movie also. Russell Hainline also cowrote the second movie. 

Which Movie Is Better?

That is the inevitable question! Which Do You Prefer? Does It Matter?

Both movies are very enjoyable and worth bookmarking for the holidays. The storylines are not apples to apples. The first movie does have the benefit of viewers tuning in not knowing what to expect and finding great chemistry between the actors. Hallmark fans report the original is a movie they will rewatch multiple times. The sequel has the benefit of viewers coming to watch because of the proven chemistry and success of the original.

Don't Miss This Holiday Movie! Love The Coopers

The Storyline of the Movie "Love the Coopers"

Narrated by the family dog, Rags (voiced by Steve Martin), the film takes a whimsical yet insightful perspective, making it stand out among holiday movies. 

"Love the Coopers" unfolds during a chaotic Christmas Eve, when four generations of the Cooper family gather to celebrate the holiday. 

Each family member brings their own baggage—strained relationships, life struggles, and unspoken truths—which set the stage for both humor and heartfelt moments. 

The mood is a balance of lighthearted humor and poignant realism, as it captures the messiness and unpredictability of family life. What struck me most was how authentic the film felt—highlighting both the love and dysfunction that can coexist in any family.

The Cast - An Impressive Ensemble of Actors and Actresses

"Love the Coopers" boasts a stellar cast that brings the story to life:

• Diane Keaton is Charlotte Cooper, the family matriarch determined to create the perfect Christmas but is questioning her marriage.
• John Goodman is Sam Cooper, Charlotte's husband, who also questions their relationship after forty years but wants to keep going and trying.
• Ed Helms as Hank, their son, who is struggling with divorce and unemployment.
• Olivia Wilde as Eleanor, their daughter, a playwright hiding her loneliness with sarcasm.
• Alan Arkin as Bucky, Charlotte's father, whose bond with a young waitress (played by Amanda Seyfried) adds a touch of warmth.
• Marisa Tomei as Emma, Charlotte's quirky sister.
• Anthony Mackie as Officer Williams, a reserved cop who crosses paths with Emma.
• June Squibb is Aunt Fishy, the family's elder relative.
• Timothée Chalamet as Charlie, Hank’s teenage son navigating young love.
• Jake Lacy is Joe, a soldier who spontaneously connects with Eleanor.

This ensemble cast brilliantly portrays the complexities of their characters, making each storyline engaging and relatable.

Why I Love This Movie

What I love most about "Love the Coopers" is how it delivers a moving holiday message despite the family's apparent dysfunction. 

It's not a Hallmark-style movie with a picture-perfect family but rather a story that feels real and grounded. Each character's perspective adds depth, and we begin empathizing with their struggles and triumphs. 

The ending truly stayed with me—a beautifully unexpected moment of joy in an unexpected place that brought everyone together and reminded us what the holidays are all about.

Christmas Novels Review

Holiday themes are always popular novel subjects, especially around Christmas Time. It is the perfect time of year for stories of love and romance, hope and happiness.

In addition to the classic reads, such as A Christmas Carol and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, many authors publish Christmas novels for your holiday reading enjoyment and for gift-giving.

Debbie Macomber and Christmas

Perhaps the most well known author to bring out new Christmas novels is Debbie Macomber. She has earned the title of “the official storyteller of Christmas” by virtue of her annual Christmas books. Six of these stories have been made into original Hallmark Channel movies. 

A Christmas Duet Synopsis

Debbie Macomber’s 2024 Christmas novel, A Christmas Duet, is her latest story for this holiday season.

A Christmas Duet

Hailey Morgan is an assistant high school band teacher in Portland, Oregon. Hailey’s life has always revolved around music. She once hoped to make a living composing her own songs, but the reality of life changed that.

As holiday time draws near, Hailey dreads having to again spend Christmas with her meddling family. When her close friend offers a family cabin, empty this time of year, for a solo retreat, Hailey decides it is time to do something to make herself happy.

Hailey arrives at her friend's cabin in a small Washington town, expecting a peaceful getaway. However, her plans are initially disrupted when she discovers that the cabin is unexpectedly inhabited by several wild animals.

Lucky for Hailey, the local mayor’s son - Jay - is very willing to help make the cabin livable. Jay is charming and also happens to be a former musician.

It doesn’t take long before Hailey and Jay are inseparable, enjoying holiday traditions together. They chop down a tree and decorate it while sipping hot cocoa in front of a cozy fire.  They also spend time playing music together and, with Jay’s encouragement, Hailey begins to believe she might yet succeed as a songwriter. 

Hailey is truly enjoying her snow-dusted oasis at the cabin, but her family’s holiday drama interrupts her newfound peace. Also, Jay reveals some things that present complications of their own.

With challenges and complications interrupting her Christmas paradise, Hailey has to learn to stand up for herself and find a way to embrace the holiday spirit.

Summary

Debbie Macomber’s Christmas novel “A Christmas Duet” puts us in the festive spirit. The magic of Christmas becomes a part of the plot and captures the essence of the holiday season. A delightful holiday read.

A Royal Date for Christmas - Movie Review

I was pleasantly surprised by this Christmas movie.  I liked both of the actors and movie characters.  

To start with, Damon Runyan looks like royalty.  He is totally believable playing the part of a European duke.  It was fun to watch his character develop throughout the movie.  At first, we only see his serious side, but as the movie progresses, we find he actually has a rather playful side that he hides from public view.

Danica McKellar is perfect playing the part of a shop owner who knows her customers and provides more personalized service.  She is very kind, lively and spontaneous.  She can easily pick out clothing that suits the needs and preferences of her regular clientele, but doesn't hesitate to embrace the challenge of a new, all business, customer with classic style preferences.      

Bella Sparks (Danica McKellar) is exactly what Stefan Brown (Damon Runyan) needs in his life. These two make such a cute couple!

 

A Royal Date for Christmas Synopsis

 A Royal Date for ChristmasCheck PriceAfter a delayed flight in London, Stefan William Francis Brown, the Duke of Tangford, arrives in America without his luggage. On the way to his family's estate, he visits Bella Sparks couture shop to purchase a suit with all of the accessories and a "sleep garment".  He is in a hurry, so he gives Bella his tailor's contact information and requests delivery to Snowy Crest on the outskirts of town.  Of course, Bella has no idea who he is.  She simply knows he is a bit abrupt.

Because of his dispassionate attitude, Bella decides to spice up his life with a "fun" sleep garment.  When the duke sees it, even he has to chuckle.  

Stefan returns to Bella Sparks Couture Boutique the following day because his luggage still has not arrived and he needs additional clothing for the week. He ends up making a very unusual request.  Due to his busy schedule, he would like for Bella to act as his personal stylist for his week of luncheons, dinners and meetings.  He also asks her to step in as his "plus one" when needed, "strictly professional, of course".  Coming from anyone else, that "proposition" would sound inappropriate, but his delivery makes it all sound so acceptable, and Bella's business could use the extra funds for a desired expansion.

As they get to know each other, Bella discovers that he is really very nice, simply concerned about protecting his family's reputation publicly and she is happy to help him succeed.

I Love Cats Coloring Book Review

I love cats from way back. I had even started doing drawings from photos of our cats over the years, before the internet was even a thing. I had hopes and dreams that our lovey kitties would be the stars in a coloring book.

Years later, after having gotten a computer, and having learned how to do drawings on my computer, I finally got around to creating the book of my dreams. I named it, I Love Cats Coloring Book.

I published it through KDP - Kindle Direct Publishing, which is a subsidiary of Amazon. This is my review.

The print quality of both the cover and the interior turned out great. The only colors are on the cover.

The coloring pages are printed on the top side of each page and a background page of cats on gray is printed on the reverse side of each page. The gray does not show through to the top page, and it does a good job of reducing and or preventing bleed through to the next coloring page.

As with my other coloring books, there are two pages to test out your coloring media in the back of the book. There you can try out blending techniques, color coordinating, and whether or not the chosen media will bleed through to the next page or not.

This book is more than a coloring book. It has cute little sayings that go along with each picture. I like the added interest; it gives the book a more heartfelt feeling to it and also some humor.

The pages have a good weight to them and are perfect for coloring. If you are purchasing this for children, then I recommend these colored pencils by Prang. In this set, the core is 3.3 mm thick, making them thicker than some of the others, so they should hold up better for the kids: Prang 3.3 mm colored pencils.

Instead of burnishing with the colored pencils themselves, (laying down lots of color on top of already colored areas), I recommend less pressure and using paper blending stumps to rub over the initial layers. Then color on top of that layer. That helps to spread the colors out better, and it's easier to lay new or more color down on top, and is less damaging to the paper: Blending Stumps. This pack also includes an artist eraser which is also less damaging to the paper. It also includes a sandpaper pencil sharpener.

If you want to get one color off of the blending stump, you can just rub it on a scrap sheet of paper to rub off any excess color. This will make your blending look more like the color that you want it to be, in the picture.

Overall, I am pleased with how the book turned out and highly recommend it to other cat lovers, of any age.

The Best Cotton-Rich, Athlete-Approved, Comfortable Padded Sport Socks

I'm certainly no athlete, but I do enjoy walking with my husband. Unfortunately, as I've gotten older, walking has become a bit harder on my feet. I have purchased padded socks in the past, but they were too thick to fit comfortably inside my sneakers. My feet are inherently quite wide and I need all the room I can get.

Fortunately, the CS CELERSPORT 6 Pairs Ankle Athletic Running Socks Low Cut Sports Tab Socks for Men and Women I purchased a few months ago on Amazon have nicely cushioned soles without being so thick that they take up unnecessary room inside my sneakers or walking shoes. I also love that they have arch support. Here's my detailed product review.

My friend who enjoys daily hikes for exercise and has three athletic sons highly recommended the CS CELERSPORT Ankle Athletic Running Socks to me for my walks. Her sons, who play lots of sports, love them, and so does she for her daily hikes. In fact, these have replaced the ultra popular and much more expensive Bombas socks in their household!

With their enthusiastic stamp of approval, I decided to take her excellent recommendation to order a set of 6 pairs. I'm so glad I did!

These cushioned socks are designed for active men and women seeking comfort, durability, and performance during various activities such as running, gym workouts, hiking, and casual wear. These low-cut socks feature a tab design to prevent slipping, a cushioned sole for shock absorption, and moisture-wicking materials to keep your feet dry.

Key Features

Comfortable Fabric Blend

Made from a blend of 88.3% combed cotton, 10.7% polyester and 1% spandex, these cotton-rich socks are soft, stretchy, and breathable. The blend offers a snug fit without being restrictive, ensuring all-day comfort during walks, workouts or casual wear.

Arch Support

Integrated arch support enhances stability and reduces foot fatigue, making these socks ideal for high-impact activities like running or weightlifting as well as lower-impact activities like walking or hiking. I've definitely noticed a difference in how my feet feel after our walks or even after a day of running errands.

Cushioned Sole

The padding on the sole provides extra comfort and shock absorption. This reduces strain on the feet, especially during long runs or high-intensity workouts, but also making walks and daily activities more comfortable.

Moisture-Wicking Technology

Designed with moisture-wicking fibers, these cotton-rich socks help keep your feet dry by wicking away sweat, reducing the risk of blisters and minimizing foot odor.

Tab Design

The low-cut style features a back tab to prevent the socks from slipping into your shoes. This small addition ensures a secure fit and adds protection against chafing.

Durability

Reinforced heels and toes increase the socks' longevity, even with frequent washing and wear. They have held up extremely well so far and still look like new after a few months of frequent wear.

Unisex Design

Available in multiple sizes and colors, these versatile socks are suitable for both men and women. I ordered a set of two white, two grey and two black pairs, but you can choose from all white, all grey, all black, and several other color options.

The set of 6 pairs of cushioned sport socks comes nicely boxed for gift-giving. The box slides open for easy access to the socks inside.

Pros

• Versatile: Ideal for running, sports, and casual use.
• Stay-Put Fit: Tab design prevents slipping and enhances comfort.
• Affordable: You get a nicely boxed set of six pairs in your choice of colors at an excellent price.
• Odor Control: Breathable fabric minimizes sweat buildup.
• Durability: Reinforced stress points ensure long-term use.

Cons

• Thickness: While the cushioning is great for comfort, those who prefer thinner socks might find them a bit bulky for tighter shoes. However, even though I have wide feet and need as much room inside my footwear as I can get, I did not find this to be as much of an issue with these socks as I have with other brands of cushioned cotton sport socks.

CS CELERSPORT Ankle Athletic Running Socks Low Cut Sports Tab Socks for Men and Women (6 Pairs), Medium, Multicolor

Who Are They Good For?

The CS CELERSPORT 6 Pairs Ankle Athletic Running Socks are perfect for individuals who prioritize comfort, durability, and moisture control in their activewear.

Whether you're a runner, gym enthusiast, a casual walker, or someone who appreciates comfortable, high-quality socks for daily use, these socks deliver exceptional value.

A Thoughtful, Affordable Gift

If you know someone who enjoys walking, running, or playing any type of sports, these cushioned sport socks would be a welcome gift.

I love that they come nicely boxed and ready for gift-giving.
