Spoilers ahead of the latest CBS Christmas movie, must love christmas.
CBS provided a special kind of holiday cheer with must love christmasperformed by Liza Lapira in a very different role from she plays the draw . The actress played Natalie, a reclusive writer famous for her Christmas romances about her…even though she had no actual romances. Before long, she had two (seemingly) eligible bachelors vying for her attention in the quaint town of Cranberry Falls, and there were some unexpected twists and turns before the emotional finale with Natalie sharing a kiss with Nick (Neal Bledsoe) after learning the truth about Caleb (Nathan Witte). According to Lapira, the ending as originally written was different from the finished product.
However, first of all. Let’s find out what happened to lead to the happy ending. must love christmas (with some familiar faces from branded movie ) really seemed to be preparing Natalie for an impossible choice in Cranberry Falls, when she bonded with Nick over the article he wanted to write about her to save his magazine, while carrying a torch for her childhood crush, Caleb. , which has grown. become a volunteer firefighter with a passion for raising funds for children. What Liza Lapira was advanced there wasn’t an easy choice of who to support as the best option for Natalie.
Not at first, however! Unfortunately, there was more to Caleb than meets the eye, and Natalie didn’t find a book-worthy holiday romance with him in Cranberry Falls. However, once back in New York, she realized that, without her realizing it, Nick had reached all the high points her soul mate needed, including the one she herself hadn’t yet chosen . The movie ended with Natalie letting go of her lonely character of hers and rushing to see Nick on Christmas Eve.
In a scene worthy of a holiday romance novel, Natalie found her cleaning up at the Brooklyn Train Museum after volunteering for a potluck for the less fortunate. They talked about how they’d changed, grown, and remembered what it was like to fall in love, then sealed the conversation with a sweet kiss just after midnight.
This is where the story was originally written to end, but must love christmas it went one step further with Natalie taking a step back and saying “Fine.” It was a perfect line for a love story involving a novelist and, according to Liza Lapira, she came up with it. The actress shared with Gossipify:
I actually said that after the kiss she said “The End,” because it sounded like a Natalie thing. As written, it had to end with this beautiful kiss, just like we do, and they are happily ever after. No, this woman is obsessed with work, and there’s no limit, of course! Saying it would probably upset or discourage him too, and that’s our joke. So, of course, she says, “The End” and, like, “Dude, this is going to be a book!” [laughs] And he says, “No, no, no.”
The original ending seems to have been adorable and in keeping with the happy ending that makes Christmas movies so popular with so many people, but ‘The End’ was a perfect ending to Natalie’s character and how their relationship. Developed with Nick. She may have grown a lot since the film began to surprise Nick with a romance in mind, but she was still a writer in need of material for the upcoming holiday season! Liza Lapira continued:
I love that Martin Wood, the director, then superimposed the cover of his next book. He totally turns his story into the next source of income. I even improvised, it didn’t work, when he said, “No, Natalie, it’s our love story.” I improvised, “Listen, you gotta make baby cheddar.” Do you want this life? You have to sell our story.
Liza Lapira’s improv may not have been successful, but what better way to do it must love christmas conclude Natalie’s story with only the cover image of her next Christmas novel? Nick certainly didn’t question his idea that he ruined the magic of Christmas enough, and viewers were able to enjoy a classic Christmas movie happily ever after while keeping that humor intact between them. When I told the actress that it was normal for the film to end in laughter after Nick and Natalie’s relationship started, she replied:
Yes, that was the goal!… It was my wish when I entered. Even before we got on the plane, I was like, ‘Oh man, if only there could be laughter that comes from a really down-to-earth place. I mean, I feel like this is my goal. Why hire me if I don’t open my mouth? [laughs] and I hope to do something funny or find humanity and humor in humanity.
must love christmas was the second of CBS’ new holiday movies for late 2022, after suitable for christmas with The conversation it’s Amanda Kloots in the lead . While this movie also had a happy ending (and one that Kloots said he “loved” ), it certainly wasn’t quite like viewers with Liza Lapira’s first Christmas movie. Lapira also had nothing but good things to say about working with the Hallmark alumni on her project, and the film was released soon after. Neal Bledsoe has made an exciting announcement on your career path.
