“Holly And The Hot Chocolate” (** out of four) was harmless but predictable fluff about a famous food critic (Hannah Gaffney) who finds herself stuck in a Capraesque small town for Christmas where she stumbles on a life-changing hot-chocolate recipe that could change everything and while she’s there she falls in love with one of the locals (Ryan Farrell). Typical Hallmark romantic comedy full of upbeat sentiments and bright cast but made with too much sugar and empty calories to be filling.
