But when the girl he’s falling for shows up to find out he’s not who he said he is, he agrees to set her up with the real deal. By the end of Love Hard, you’ll be wishing you were dating Jimmy O. Yang, he’s so dang charming.

Libra
You should watch The Happiest Season (2020) on Hulu.
Harper’s heading back home to celebrate the holidays with her family and her girlfriend. The only problem? Harper hasn’t come out yet, so she’s asking Abby to pretend to be her roommate.

Scorpio
You should watch Scrooged (1988) on Prime Video and Paramount+.
You’re a bit of a Scrooge yourself, so this thoroughly ’80s rom com retelling of A Christmas Carol is perfect for you.

Maybe some ghosts can help him see the light.
Sagittarius
You should watch Last Holiday (2006) on Paramount+.

Soon they wonder if maybe their divorced parents know more about love than they do.
Aquarius
You should watch 12 Dates of Christmas (2011) on Prime Video and Paramount+.

Pisces
You should watch Last Christmas (2019) on Prime Video.
Of all the signs, you’re the most likely to watch a movie that will absolutely gut you, thus this gem is the right choice. When Kate meets Tom, she’s just about hit rock bottom. Her life is in shambles, yet they keep being drawn together. Maybe he can show her a little Christmas magic to break her out of her slump?
