In the cutthroat world of sports journalism, ambition can be a lonely companion. OWN’s upcoming holiday movie, A Season To Remember, tackles this familiar trope, adding a touch of romance to the mix. Michele Weaver stars as Symone Gibson, a sports reporter seemingly more comfortable on the sidelines than in the spotlight. But Symone’s got a week to change all that, a week to land the career-making story that will propel her from the periphery to the forefront. And Christmas is just around the corner, so no pressure, right?
Symone’s editor isn’t handing out any extensions, so she’s assigned to collaborate with freelance sports photographer Iggy Love (Nathan Owens). It’s a pairing that initially feels like a recipe for disaster, given their disparate personalities. Symone’s more reserved and prone to second-guessing herself, whereas Iggy’s a seasoned pro with an abundance of self-assurance. He becomes something of an unlikely mentor, pushing Symone to become more assertive and take ownership of her talents.
As the two chase leads and deadlines, their professional relationship takes an unexpected detour toward something more personal. Could a little holiday magic be in the air? A Season To Remember isn’t breaking any new ground, but it aims to deliver a satisfying mix of heartwarming romance and career-driven ambition—perfect for those who prefer their holiday fare with a side of empowerment. Will Symone land her big scoop? Will she find love in the process? Will the film manage to sidestep every predictable holiday movie cliché? We shall see.
