Emmy award-winning actress Hunter King (“The Young and The Restless”) stars in the Hallmark movie “A Make or Break Holiday” alongside Evan Roderick (“Arrow”) and Craig Geoghan.
Geoghan was the winner of the second season of the Hallmark reality show “Finding Mr. Christmas.”
The synopsis is: Liv (Hunter King) and Daniel (Evan Roderick) are hosting their families for the first time this Christmas and stress is at an all-time high.
When unspoken irritations within their relationship finally reach a boiling point, Liv and Daniel find themselves at odds and decide they need to take a break from each other.
However, relaying this news to their families will most certainly ruin Christmas, so they decide to move forward with their original plans and will pretend to be a happy couple while everyone is under one roof.
As they navigate the complexities of their respective families and work together to create a holiday celebration they’ll all remember, Liv and Daniel begin to rediscover what they love about each other and may not have to pretend much longer.
Hunter King is effervescent as the female protagonist Liv opposite a suave and smooth Evan Roderick as Daniel.
Craig Geoghan delivers a true breakout performance as Reid, Liv’s goofy brother (who has a neat and subtle emotional moment that really tugs at the heartstrings).
Hopefully, this is a harbinger that there will be more high-quality movies for Craig Geoghan in the future.
In addition, Jonathan Bennett (who is the host of “Finding Mr. Christmas”) makes a fun cameo in this rom-com, which is an added treat.
The Verdict
Overall, “A Make or Break Holiday” is an uplifting new Hallmark holiday film that is filled with joy and cheer.
It is a fun and feel-good story about surviving their wacky families during the holidays (all while Liv and Daniel are on a temporary break from each other).
Everybody in the cast brings something distinct and special to the movie. It deserves to be watched with a cup of hot cocoa or popcorn, and it garners two thumbs up. Well done.
