A salesman searches for a special gift for his son at a store in Chinatown, and comes across a small exotic animal.

Reality TV
12 Dates of Christmas (2021)
This ain’t no Hallmark movie, it’s (sort of) real life.
12 Dates of Christmas is actually a series, but since it is Christmas-themed, I had to include it in this post.
Three singles meet different love interests with the goal of finding someone to take home for the holidays.
If you’re a fan of the Netflix series Love is Blind, you’ll enjoy watching 12 Dates of Christmas, which is by the same creators.
It’s cheesy and totally not realistic at all, but it’s still a fun watch especially during the holiday season!
You can watch the second season of the show on Crave Canada, though I definitely enjoyed the first season more as the second one was super messy.
