Now, there’s no denying that a lot of new Christmas movies have been released this year. A lot. This writer has put in the hard graft, though, and watched them all – which means that I know definitively (read: subjectively) which one is the very best of the bunch.

And, yes, you better believe that it’s Something From Tiffany’s.

Capturing all of that magic and excitement of the holidays in New York City – as well as a surprising love story that’s sure to capture the imagination of anyone who’s ever been rattled by an accidental gift mix-up – it features all the hallmarks of a holiday classic. Like, say, an impossibly attractive pair of star-crossed lovers! Plenty of twinkling fairylights! A ridiculously handsome and charismatic single dad! A sparky kid! Delicious foodie moment after delicious foodie moment! A touch of festive amnesia! Romantic proposals galore! Bucket-loads of serendipity! New York at Christmastime! Ugly Christmas jumpers! A protagonist that’s every bit as charming and affable as 90s Meg Ryan! So much Nora Ephron romcom energy!

And most important of all? We have not one, but two, dead mums!

Quite honestly, I loved this Christmas romcom. I loved it. So much so, in fact, that I will be adding it to my roster of festive films to watch every single year going forward.

Tempted to watch for yourself? Here’s what you need to know, then, about Zoey Deutch’s new romcom – which is, incidentally, an adaptation of a book of the same name by Melissa Hill.

What’s the plot of Something From Tiffany’s?

Gary and Ethan don’t know each other, but they have one thing in common: they are both determined to buy (you guessed it) ‘something from Tiffany’s’ for their respective partners this Christmas.

Each of them heads to the iconic jewellery store, picks out a gift, and trots home with one of those beautiful blue boxes each. Unfortunately, though, everything goes wrong when they present their gifts to their respective girlfriends: Ray has the engagement ring that Ethan purchased, and Ethan has the earrings that Ray purchased. Awkward.

Naturally, Ray’s girlfriend, Rachel, is shocked by her gift when she unwraps it on Christmas morning – although perhaps not as much as he is. Vanessa, meanwhile, absolutely loves the earrings… even if that wasn’t the gift that Ethan and his daughter picked out for her.

You can undoubtedly guess what happens: Ethan and Rachel meet up to swap the items, only to stumble into a festive romcom-load of chemistry. Which might lead both of them to reflect on the relationships they have, the relationships they want, and the lives (and possibly lies) they’re currently leading.

“Because love – like life – is full of surprises,” promises the official synopsis for Something From Tiffany’s.
