Switched for Christmas

This week's most rewarding drama pick in the US on fuboTV and Philo, and in the UK on Hallmark TV Amazon Channel is Switched for Christmas. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 103 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Candace Cameron Bure's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on fuboTV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Switched for Christmas earns its spot. Switched for Christmas trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Identical twins Kate and Chris Lockhart plot to be the other sister – at Kate’s office and Chris’ school – and take on planning their sister’s Christmas events. One rule, though: no romance. Candace Cameron Bure and Eion Bailey lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. It was released in 2017. The performances in Switched for Christmas do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
