A CAMPBELL FAMILY CHRISTMAS
If you have ever tried to plan a holiday gathering for your family, you will enjoy this endearing story of family and the pursuit of the "perfect" holiday.
Maddie is planning the "perfect" Christmas for her family. Her husband Joe is trying to help, well... where he can. Things get a little tricky when a snow storm delays Mom and Dad's arrival, a cookie crazed neighbor keeps popping in, Maddie's sister Diane ends up in another country, brother Howard decides a religion change sounds like a good idea, and rum-loving Grandma gets her groove on with an impromptu holiday soirée. Toss in some kugel, an ever-green allergy, a dash for vegan eggnog (is that even a thing?!), a secretly meat-filled vegan pot of soup, and you've got holiday chaos at its best! Directed by Trevor Frets. Read all about it!

And To All A Swipe Right
Dating is hard. Especially in the age of virtual meetings and endless swiping. Swipe left? Swipe right? Whew. It’s a crap shoot.
But then… someone catches your eye!
Enter Jordan (a self-professed “Grinch”) and Taylor (owner of a delightful reindeer-antlered-hat… ‘nough said). Is it possible that Taylor can crack Jordan’s bah-humbug crusted heart and plant the seed of Christmas cheer? Or will it end up being just another cheer-less holiday? After an endless stream of left swipes… this might be the “right” one!
