It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas on the Roku Channel. EW can exclusively reveal the trailers for the streamer's highly-anticipated holiday film How to Fall in Love by the Holidays starring Teri Hatcher and its heartwarming new television series, The Holiday Shift.
How to Fall in Love by the Holidays, which debuts on Nov. 3, sees the Desperate Housewives alum star as Nora, a celebrated writer turned CEO who is tasked with writing an article about finding her own holiday romance in order to save her company. Complicating matters, however, is the handsome photographer (Dan Payne) accompanying Nora on her "journey to love" who can't help but poke fun at her ill-fated Christmas capers, especially her plan to win over a man by spilling hot chocolate on him.
"That meet-cute that you just tried to stage for yourself?" Payne's character smugly remarks in the trailer. "I've never actually seen it in real life." In the end, Nora may just end up finding true love on her advent adventure after all.
She's not the only one with a chance at finding love this season either. A ragtag collection of eccentric mall employees — played by Varun Saranga, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Devyn Nekoda, Nadine Bhabha, Brielle Robillard, and Michael Delleva — are fully leaning into the magic and madness of the festive season in the Roku original series, The Holiday Shift.
The five-part series, which is produced by CBS Studios, follows its crew of friends as they attempt to survive the holiday crowds, thwart shoplifters, and, in the case of Varun Saranga's character, suddenly come face-to-face with his old flame Tess (Devyn Nekoda).
The pair's reunion appears to be going well in the clip until Saranga's character awkwardly attempts to punch Tess in the shoulder and ends up hitting her chest instead. "He punched her boob," his friend groans as he spies on them from a distance. "Oh God."
He's later encouraged to tell Tess how he feels, only to spot her and another man exchanging a kiss in the center of the mall. "How did you not know she had a boyfriend!?" a voice can be overheard asking him. To which he replies, "She moved to California, how was I supposed to know?"
"Internet, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat!" his pal proclaims. "Twitter, if you're weird. Facebook, if you're old."
How to Fall in Love by the Holidays streams for free on the Roku Channel beginning Friday, Nov. 3. All episodes of The Holiday Shift will stream free beginning Friday, Nov. 17. Check out the two trailers above.
