About She's Making a List

Isabel Haynes works as a by the book Naughty or Nice inspector, tallying a child's eligibility against a strict holiday checklist. When she travels to evaluate 11 year old Charlie Duncan, she expects a routine report card and a predictable day. But the assignment stirs unexpected feelings when she meets Charlie's widowed father, Jason. The connection challenges the rigid rules that govern her line of work and the way she measures cheer and behavior. With Christmas looming, Isabel finds herself weighing a formal algorithm against a growing personal pull, unsure which path will keep the season bright for the boy she is charged to guide and the man who has captured her attention.

Directed by Stacey N. Harding, She's Making a List comes to screen as a Christmas romance crafted for television with a familiar cast led by Lacey Chabert and Andrew W. Walker.

Themes of duty versus desire and the warmth of the season anchor the film. The chemistry between Isabel and Jason is framed as a test of professional boundaries and personal longing, wrapped in light humor and holiday cheer that fans of romantic comedies may enjoy.
