The Nights Before Christmas (2026)

Plot

On Christmas Eve, Marty, stuck in a life going nowhere, wishes he had more time. Holiday magic grants it: he wakes to find it's Christmas Eve all over again. Though confused at first, Marty comes to embrace the loop, noticing the sights, sounds, and people of New York City he'd always overlooked. With endless time, he learns an instrument, picks up new languages, and reads every book. Then he meets Chloe, a recently unemployed journalist having a terrible day, and falls hard. The catch: when December 24 returns, she has no idea who he is. As the Christmas Eves repeat, Marty sets out to win her over and discover what it will take to finally reach Christmas Day—ideally with Chloe beside him.
