Hallmark’s “We Wish You a Married Christmas” directed by Paul Ziller is a Christmas romantic movie that revolves around a married couple – Robby and Becca. When the two find it difficult to connect, they decide to enlist the help of a marriage coach to save their deteriorating relationship.
The coach, therefore, advises them to go on holiday together at Christmas. Acting on the advice, Robby and Becca travel to the small town of Gracious and stay at a cozy inn for the holidays in hopes of reuniting.
The troubled relationship between the couple and their efforts to make things better make for an entertaining narrative and keep the audience glued to their seats from start to finish. Additionally, the setting of the fictional town of Gracious during the Christmas season is likely to raise questions in the mind about the actual filming locations of the We Wish You a Married Christmas film.
