Telling the story of the life of a woman whose life changes with an engagement ring that was meant for someone else, it ultimately leads her to someone else. A typical best date night movie of the holiday season, the film really resonates with people and is a ‘feel-good movie with a lot of hopefulness people can easily relate to the film.  

On Christmas Eve on 5^th Avenue, two very different men who are shopping for gifts for the women, they love encounter each other.

      

Following the lives of two couples, Ethan – a widower who lives with his daughter buys his girlfriend -Venessa (Shay Mitchell) an engagement ring, while a tattoo artist – Gary (Ray Nicholson) buys his girlfriend -Rachel Meyer who is a baker (Zoey Deutch) a pair of earrings for their anniversary. 

 

Ethan makes a surprise visit from L.A. He is a professor and author who has especially waited for this moment to present the ring to his girlfriend and is anticipating the moment to propose to his girlfriend. Gary on the other hand is just trying to be the perfect boyfriend. 

 

However, after buying their respective gifts, Gary steps out of Tiffany’s and gets hit by a car and Ethan immediately rushes to help. The commotion that ensues leads to an exchange of their gifts. When Rachel opens up her present and assumes Gary will propose to her, Gary is surprised at the mismatch and does not even make an effort to correct the mismatch. 

 

However, Ethan on the other hand who had been planning a lot for this purchase is quick to realise what may have happened (he is a creative writing professor at UCLA). 

While Gary refuses to return the ring, Ethan tries to straighten things out. While everything seems to be going right in the process of straightening things, an unexpected attraction between Ethan and Rachel develops. 

This is the beginning of a twist of events as things begin to twist and turn as the story ensues. Rachel and Ethan begin a friendship where Ethan is pushed by Rachel to begin a new novel and Rachel gets a lot of help from Ethan in the café.  

 

Actress Reese Witherspoon, one of the richest self-made female actors in the world produced the film along with Lauren Neustadter – a producer and actress, under the banner of Reese’s company, Hello Sunshine.

 

While the film is extremely romantic, there are many elements of humour throughout. The lead actors are not only phenomenal but demonstrate an amazing chemistry throughout the film.
