The movie is about a workaholic bachelor Sam going home for the Holidays and babysitting the kids of his siblings. A handsome neighbor comes to help care for his naughty niece and nephews. The situation turns interesting when love sparks between Sam and the neighbor.
Holidays can be tough for those who cannot go to their family, especially when they are not supportive after you come out. So, actor Jonathan Bennett who is in the lead role in the movie, expressed how he finds himself lucky because of his family’s support. He recently got married to husband Jaymes Vaughan. So, playing the character to help people realize that Holidays are not just for straight people felt like a chance for him. He also mentioned that not everyone has a happy family welcoming them during the Holidays, and romance between men in this movie fights against this hidden pain only someone like him can understand.
The Holiday Sitter sends a message that Christmas is not just about the family you were born to but the family you choose, be it with a man, woman, or both.
