'Inn Love by Christmas': Meet Jonna Walsh, Jesse Hutch and rest of the cast of Lifetime's holiday film
We know, there are still a few days left for Christmas day, but the festive spirit should always be high every day during this festive season. If you want to make this countdown to Christmas days more special, we have a suggestion for you. Holiday movie lists are now beyond the classic movies such as ‘Home Alone’. These classics will always have a special place in your lives, but there are a few contemporary movies which must be given a chance, especially while you are comfortably settled on your couch on a cold winter evening. In terms of new films, Lifetime has got you covered with some entertaining Christmas movies to watch this season and one of them is ‘Inn Love by Christmas’.
The official synopsis of the movie reads, “Mandy Leeds (Jonna Walsh), a successful young woman living in Miami, is climbing her way up the corporate ladder in the hotel industry. While she doesn’t get back to her small northern hometown much, this year her Gram (Jayne Eastwood) is able to finally convince her to come home for Christmas. Mandy has another reason too — the quaint local inn is for sale, and she wants to acquire it for her company. With her eyes on the prize, Mandy travels back home but on her way there, she runs into Lucas Menzino (Jesse Hutch) — her high school rival — who also has his eye on the inn as well.”
