Director Ali Liebert gives it all a light, bright touch and both leads are utterly charming.

There's some sticky stuff in there about just allowing characters to not want to have children, and not making that some character flaw they have to overcome…but the priority of The Holiday Sitter is to be a sweet love story between two hot men.

A charming Christmas movie for fans of the genre, “The Holiday Sitter” is as comforting as a cup of cocoa with extra marshmallows that provide a sugar rush.

The Holiday Sitter is a Christmas movie about the incredibly unique bond between gay men and their nieces and nephews — family members who have long stood in for children due to the hurdles facing gay couples or gay men looking to adopt.

I love the idea of this story and the direction and there was charm to it, but sadly i could not get in to Jonathan's acting, its always dry and not believable, and I could not feel the chemistry with the two leads. George was great. For me this could have been great with just without Jonathan.

Hallmark actually put some time and effort into this movie and it shows. A great story with strong actors really helped -- even the supporting cast were terrific - it's a light hearted romance with a deeper presence that really portrays the absence of hope and normal holiday fare that alienated the LGBTQ community for so many years and we were quietly and effectively reminded of that -- but not preached to... Great chemistry with the leads -- i wanted to see their story continue!
