01:06Sometimes, you can't rush things.
01:10I just need to find my own way.
01:13A Christmas Story Christmas is a follow-up to the beloved 1983 classic A Christmas Story.
01:18The film sees Ralphie, now an adult, return to his childhood home to give his own kids a magical
01:23holiday. The sequel is now streaming on HBO Max.
01:28When it's just us decorating, it kind of feels like child labor.
01:32Honey, it's not labor if we don't pay you.
01:34Yeah.
01:34Hotel for the Holidays stars Madelaine Petsch as Georgia, the manager of the charming Hotel Fontaine
01:40in New York City. The Christmas rom-com sees Georgia caught in a love triangle between a charming

01:50characters working and staying at the hotel leading up to Christmas. You can stream it now
01:54on Freebie.
01:55I know you could do a lot better than this old hotel of ours.
01:58I love this old hotel of ours. It's not always the place that's important.
02:02It's just the people.
02:03Petsch told The Hollywood Reporter what made her want to check in to Hotel for the Holidays when
02:07she read the script.
02:08When I read the script, I just thought it was so dynamic and there was so many really interesting
02:12and rich characters. And that's very rare in a holiday film. I feel like it's usually
02:15centered around two individuals. And this has such a wide variety of characters that are all so rich
02:20and fun and interesting that when I read it, I was like, this feels like something people could
02:24turn to year after year and it would warm their hearts. And that makes me really excited to be
02:28a part of people's traditions.
02:30And something from Tiffany's sees Zoe Deutsch play Rachel, a woman whose life is turned upside down
02:35by an engagement ring meant for someone else.
02:38I don't know what to say.
02:42Me neither.
