It’s time for the annual Santa Summit, in which revelers put on Santa suits and hop around designated locations in town to eat, drink, and be merry. Three best friends decide to go together: Jordin, a recently dumped art teacher looking to cut loose; Ava, a shy woman hoping to run into her crush; and Stella, a Christmas cynic with no interest in the Santa Summit whatsoever. At the start of the night, Jordin meets and bonds with Liam, but doesn’t get his name before getting separated and lost in a sea of Santas. As the night progresses and hijinks ensue, amidst the chaos, celebration, and a sea of Santas, they all find what they’re looking for: Christmas spirit, potential romance, and a strengthened bond of friendship. Starring Hunter King and Benjamin Hollingsworth.

This movie takes place all in one crazy day and it is a true ensemble movie. Everybody in the cast has great chemistry and comedic timing down to whoever it is dressed in a tree costume the whole time. Above all, this is a movie about female friendship, but the love interests never feel flat or forced either. It’s crazy how much love and warmth are crammed into a short period. At one point Stella asks Jordin, “You got all that in a five minute conversation? With a man?” Yes she did, and yes they did.

Favorite Kiss: A declaration of love at a silent disco with the words of J.R.R Tolkien? More likely than you think.
