Movie Review: Cloudy with a Chance of Christmas

 



* Lifetime movie 2022

Bridget Torres is a prominent national news weather forecaster who comes to the magical, wintry town of Leavenworth, Washington, where Christmas traditions prevail each holiday season. This year, Bridget has been asked by her network to announce a special “snow-cast” at the annual Christmas Eve festival and has brought her boss Lisa along with her. Bridget’s plans to shine are foiled when a talk show host from her network arrives to join her for the broadcast. Drake Kincaid, as it turns out, refused to hire Bridget as his co-host for their morning show a year earlier, making tensions high. The unlikely duo soon finds themselves falling for each other, but when Bridget finally discovers why Drake didn’t hire her, their romance is put to the test. Stars Valery Ortiz, Nicole Bilderback, and Brandon Quinn (summary from Lifetime).

This was a joy to watch - the movie was cute, but I loved the setting. I was in Leavenworth last year, so it was fun to see all the places we had been. The Gingerbread Factory was a real favorite! The Leavenworth Reindeer Farm was amazing! They had filmed the movie before we visited, but it aired after. It's the first movie I've seen a significant amount of the setting! 

Highly recommend both the movie and the Christmas town.

TikTok: Travel


 I had the good fortune to take a vacation to see my BFFs and also visit a Christmas town I've been wanting to see. We spent a few days in Leavenworth and it was amazing.
