Grab your peppermint lattes and dust off those VHS tapes, because the She’s All That dream team—Rachael Leigh Cook and Freddie Prinze Jr.—are back, baby! And this time, they’re not giving anyone a makeover (probably), but they are giving your lonely holiday heart a fresh new reason to believe in love…again…for like, the 700th time.
Introducing: A Christmas Affair—aka the movie you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without. This holiday rom-com is coming soon from Fox Entertainment Studios, who clearly heard the collective cry of millennials everywhere screaming, “WHERE ARE THEY NOW?!”
Let’s break it down like it’s 1999:
Rachael plays Natalie, a big-time sportscaster. Freddie plays Gabe, also a big-time sportscaster. They’re both rich, attractive, and very on TV. Tragically (and conveniently), their spouses are caught doing the holiday naughty list shuffle with other people—just weeks before Christmas. The drama! The scandal! The perfect setup for two professionally good-looking people to fall in love under mistletoe and media scrutiny.
As the Christmas chaos unfolds, Natalie and Gabe start catching feelings faster than your aunt downs eggnog. But is it true love… or just a rebound wrapped in tinsel and trauma? We’ll have to tune in to find out, but let’s be real—do we care? WE. ARE. WATCHING.
Hannah Pillemer, a big boss over at Fox, had this to say about the whole situation:
“Fox Entertainment Studios is excited to grant the Christmas wish of countless holiday romcom fans with the long-awaited reunion of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook.”
Translation: We’ve been sitting on this cinematic gold mine since Y2K and it’s finally time to cash in.
So get ready to cry, laugh, swoon, and scream “OMG it’s them!!!” when this movie drops. Because if this isn’t the rom-com comeback of the century, then honestly—what even is Christmas anymore?
🎄✨ Freddie + Rachael 4ever ✨🎄
