Christmas In France Is Always A Good Idea.

Let’s talk about Champagne, Champagne Problems, and the bubbles in between. Champagne isn’t just a Sparkling Wine from France, it is the most celebratory beverage ever invented. Champagne Problems sound pretty from a distance, Paris, promotions, perfect photos. But up close, they sting like any other heartbreak. The bubbles just make it easier to pretend everything is fine, at least until the glass is empty.

Champagne Problems isn’t just a fizzy holiday rom-com, it is a sparkling holiday movie that’s much more than just a cheerful romantic comedy. It’s a story about how a life that looks perfectly poured can still taste a little off once you sit with it for a while. At first glance, it seems like the usual pretty package, glamorous locations, stylish outfits, and plenty of champagne to toast every little moment. But beneath all that sparkle, it tells a deeper story about what really goes on when life isn’t as perfect as it looks.

The movie’s main character, played beautifully by Minka Kelly, feels trapped in a world where everything is supposed to be perfect and planned. Her life is all about control, schedules, and appearances, but when unexpected emotions start bubbling to the surface, she has to face the truth that not everything can be neatly organized or fixed with a toast. This contrast between the polished exterior and real feelings is what makes the film so relatable and refreshing.

Champagne Problems also does a fantastic job showing how problems in life aren’t always about big disasters. Sometimes, it’s the little things, the doubts, the disappointments, the quiet moments of vulnerability, that matter the most. The story gently reminds us that those “champagne problems” are real feelings that deserve attention, not something to brush off or pretend away.

This movie isn’t just about romance, although the chemistry between Minka Kelly and Tom Wozniczka is magical, it’s about finding the courage to be honest with yourself and others, even when it’s messy or uncomfortable. With heartfelt performances, relatable themes, and a beautifully crafted atmosphere, Champagne Problems is a must-watch holiday film that will leave you both smiling and thinking. If you want a movie that feels like a warm, honest conversation wrapped up in festive cheer, this one’s for you. You know what Bobby would say:

Fizzy Christmas Gem

on NETFLIX!

Alicia Silverstone (Reptile, Clueless) is decking the halls for A Merry Little Ex-Mas, the latest addition to the Netflix holiday-verse you can add to your annual watch list. From director Steve Carr (Daddy Day Care) and writer Holly Hester (The Royal Treatment), A Merry Little Ex-Mas also stars Oliver Hudson, Jameela Jamil, Pierson Fode, and Melissa Joan Hart. The film, executive produced by Silverstone, along with Hart and her mother, Paula Hart, premieres Wednesday Nov. 12 on Netflix.

FROM NETFLIX TUDUM:

Kate (Silverstone) is recently divorced, and hoping for a picture-perfect family Christmas one last time before she sells her house. Unfortunately, her dreams of a nostalgic holiday break are dashed when her ex-husband, Everett (Hudson), unexpectedly introduces his young and successful new girlfriend into the mix. But, hey, what’s the holiday season without a little mischief?

Director Carr says that Kate’s journey is one that leads her to reflect on the good things in life she already has. “Like George in It’s a Wonderful Life, when something big happens to shake up your life, it changes your point of view, and you realize the life you have is the one you’re meant to have,” Carr tells Tudum.

“This was a dream-come-true cast,” Hart tells Tudum about her co-stars. “It’s a mystery to me how Alicia and I have somehow never even met until now, considering we have so much and so many people in common. Oliver is one of the funniest men I’ve ever met … Jameela I was dying to work with, and we hit it off like BFFs immediately. And Pierson’s a complete pro and such a joy on set!”
