What happens

Cup of Cheer is a Canadian comedy Christmas film, directed by Jake Horowitz and released in 2020. A parody of the Hallmark Channel lineup of romantic Christmas television movies, the film stars Storm Steenson as Mary, a journalist who returns to her hometown of Snowy Heights to write a story about smalltown Christmas cheer, only to meet and fall in love with Chris, the owner of a hot chocolate shop at risk of failing due to the impending launch of a corporate chain competitor next door. The cast also includes Liam Marshall as Chris's brother Keith; Jacob Hogan as Arthur, a British time traveller who insists that everybody must pronounce his name Authuh; and Helly Chester as town busybody Mrs. Clovenwitch. The film's broad humour, and parody of genre tropes, have been compared by critics to Airplane!, The Naked Gun and the Scary Movie series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
