Hallmark has a tradition of showing a Hanukkah movie every year. And tonight at 8p this movie is Hanukkah on the Rocks.
Tory (Stacey Farber) is a workaholic lawyer who has no time to meet a man. However, she always has time for her bubbe (Marina Stephenson Kerr), who wants her granddaughter to get married. But Tory doesn’t have time for that.
Until she does, that is because she gets laid off right before Hanukkah, and she doesn’t want to tell her parents and her bubbe. So she is pretending to work from home and take personal days. So when her bubbe asks her to find rare Hanukkah candles, she accepts the mission.
Jay (Daren Kagasoff) is in Chicago to visit his grandfather (Marc Summers), and he is trying to convince him to move down to Florida to be with him and his parents. However, he loves living where he lives.
His grandfather also wants the same candles as Tory’s bubbe, so now they are both looking for them. And luckily, there is one store that has them. Unfortunately, they only have one box. Now, they both have to fight over it.
Eventually, Tory lets Jay have the box. But then she has buyer’s remorse, so she follows him to a bar where his grandfather always goes to. Tory and him immediately get along, but the same cannot be said for Jay and her.
But they will have more time to get to know each other when she starts working as a bartender there. Together, they all work to turn Rocky’s into Hanukkah on the Rocks.
Will Jay and Tory’s relationship go from the rocks to something more? You will have to tune in for an endearing to find out.
I loved this movie, but there were two problems. One, Hallmark aired it on Shabbos. The second is if Jewish men looked like Kagasoff, more Jewish women would marry Jewish men.
