What is Never Alone for Christmas: Memphis all about?

Never Alone for Christmas: Memphis is a fun holiday movie you can watch with hot chocolate. Monica is a dating coach whose fiancé dumps her on live TV right before Christmas. Everyone turns against her and she loses her business. Broke and embarrassed, she takes one last client: Joe- a shy guy who just needs a date for his office Christmas party.

Monica teaches Joe her simple dating tricks—fix his attitude, update his clothes and show him how to talk to people. As she helps him, Joe stays kind to her even when no one else does. Slowly, Monica starts smiling again and remembering why she used to love Christmas.

The movie has funny moments, sweet moments and just enough Christmas lights and snow. Monica has to decide if she wants her old famous life back with her jerk ex or something real and quiet with Joe.

By the end, you’ll laugh, maybe tear up a little and feel good about love and second chances. It’s a perfect cozy Christmas movie that isn’t too sappy.
