"Tom Lane" (David Sutcliffe) is a popular writer for a large newspaper called the San Francisco Sun and hopes to branch out with a television show sponsored that corporation. "Liz Madison" (Dina Meyer), on the other hand, works as an advice columnist for a much smaller newspaper known as the Marin County Voice. Although neither of these two people know each other directly, that soon changes when Liz is informed that the Marin County Voice has just been purchased by the San Francisco Sun and that drastic changes might soon be made. So, to boost circulation and prevent anyone from being laid off, Liz makes a suggestion to her boss "Mr. Billingsley" (Scott Swanson) that, since Christmas is fast approaching, she be given the chance to extol the virtues of the holiday season in an effort to increase circulation. To everyone's surprise, her new column is a tremendous success which soon catches the attention of Tom's editor "Vicki Shaw" (Paula Devicq) who informs him that this directly impacts Tom's chances of creating his own television show and that, in order to resolve the issue, he needs to write his own column contradicting everything Liz says--and as their war of words begins to heat up, so does their attraction for one another. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a rather lukewarm romantic comedy which benefited more from the performance of Dina Meyer than anything else as neither the romance or comedy was particularly impressive. That being said, while I don't consider this to be a bad Christmas film by any means, it was somewhat entertaining in its own right, and I have rated it accordingly.
