The Christmas Listing

Julia Rogers runs a small realty firm and has packed her life so full of work that the holiday sparkle is gone. When a chance to list the Erickson Farmstead hinges on a five-day stay at a Christmas Inn, she has to share the room with her professional rival, Chad Everett. They trade barbs, compare tactics, and compete for the client while the inn's seasonal trimmings and the Erickson family's history press on both of them. As conversations stretch past the transactional, Julia and Chad notice unexpected similarities in their priorities and pasts, and their professional duel slowly shifts toward something more personal, even as the clock ticks on the crucial listing.

Created and written by Lexi Giovagnoli, Sage Mears, and Elizabeth Snoderly, the film premiered in 2020. Lexi Giovagnoli also stars as Julia, joined by Travis Burns, Rachel O'Connell, Greg Evigan, and Susan Chambers, placing familiar faces at the center of a holiday romance drama.

No theatrical box office is widely reported, the movie being aimed at seasonal home and streaming viewers rather than cinemas. Its success is measured more by audience pickup during holiday lineups than by ticket receipts.

Though it didn't dominate mainstream awards, the film found a steady audience among fans of holiday romances. Viewers often praise the chemistry between the leads and the cozy inn setting, and it shows up on many seasonal watchlists for people who want an easy, heartwarming evening.

Critical reaction was mixed to mildly positive, reflected in a 6.6/10 user average from a small number of votes. Reviewers and viewers picked up on themes of work-life balance, rekindling holiday feeling, and the gradual thaw between rivals. The movie leans on familiar genre beats, delivering a warm, family-conscious take on rivals-to-lovers romance.
