Christmas and Hanukkah Force Two New Yorkers To Find A Date During The Holiday Season And Pose As A Happy Couple To Fool Their Meddling Families, Friends And Co-Workers.
This delightful romantic comedy with a Hanukkah and Christmas backdrop is a great way to end this holiday weekend. Hitched For the Holidays premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.
When commitment-phobe Rob Marino (Joey Lawrence) breaks up with his girlfriend before Thanksgiving, he is criticized by his big Italian family about his inability to keep a relationship through the holidays.
Wanting to prove them wrong and fulfill his dying grandmother’s (Paula Shaw) wish to see him happy in love, Rob goes online and finds Julie (Emily Hampshire), another single New Yorker who’s meddling Jewish mom (Marilu Henner), has driven her to seek a temporary boyfriend. Rob and Julie agree to pose as a couple through the holidays to get their families off their backs.
