Hasselhoff has commented on the role, calling it "corny" but that "in his world, that's never a bad thing." Accolades Yearīest Performance in a TV Movie, Miniseries, Special or Pilot - Supporting Young Actorīest Performance in a TV Movie, Miniseries, Special or Pilot - Supporting Young Actress After noticing the attention that the film was getting, Lifetime scheduled additional showings of The Christmas Consultant. MSN's TV Buzz blog would later remark that The Soup's coverage drew added attention to the movie, as the original ratings were so low that Lifetime initially did not plan to re-show it. The Soup poked fun at Hasselhoff's role in the film, which they deemed "creepy". Crushable panned the film, saying that it highlighted "all the worst parts of the Christmas season" and was "Lifetime's most depressing movie ever". The SF Gate remarked that Hasslehoff was miscast as Owen, but that "he makes the film more fun than it probably should be" and that the miscasting allowed the film to stand out from similarly themed Christmas movies. The movie ends with everyone singing around the Christmas tree and Maya asking Owen if he does New Year's Eve parties.Ĭritical reception for The Christmas Consultant was mixed but since its airing has been called a "camp classic". Then, one last family member arrives, Maya's cousin, who shares an instant connection with him. She's surprised when her boss returns with the client, who tell Maya that she's rehired and that after the party, Maya's boss and the client had become a couple. Maya persuades him to come home with her, as she views him as a member of the family. He admits that he made up most of the stories in an attempt to deal with her death.

Maya discovers Owen as he's walking through town looking at window displays and apologizes, also telling him that she's aware that he'd lied about his family. She also discovers that his claims of having two children were also false and that he'd made them up. Maya travels to Owen's house to apologize, only to discover that Owen isn't there and that his wife had died five years ago. The following morning, Maya apologizes to her family, who forgive her for her actions. Horrified at the loss of the client, Maya's boss immediately fires Maya. Upset, Maya confronts everyone and ends up not only ruining the party, but running off the guests and her client. On the night of the Christmas party, Maya's stress comes to a head when her children make a point of specially thanking Owen in front of all of the guests and family members. However, in the process, Maya feels left out and grows even more stressed, as she feels like Owen is replacing her in the family. Owen even helps the Fletchers' youngest daughter Steffie (Eliza Faria) come out of her shell and stop creating gory and morbid fantasies involving her toys. He quickly endears himself to the family, helping son David (Darien Provost) overcome a local bully and eldest daughter Anna (Jessica McLeod) get a date with her crush. Despite some initial hesitations, the Fletchers hire Owen, who states that he will work every day except for Christmas Day, which he will spend with his family. Jack suggests that Maya hire Owen ( David Hasselhoff), a prestigious Christmas consultant, to plan the party in her stead. This puts extra stress on her especially since both her and Jack's relatives have made plans to spend the holidays at their new house. In order to impress both her boss and a potential new client, Maya agrees to host a Christmas party at her new home. Both of them are busy dealing with the stress of their demanding jobs as well as with the effect that a recent move for Maya's career has had on their children. The movie follows the Fletcher family, specifically perfume executive Maya ( Caroline Rhea) and her equally busy husband Jack ( Barclay Hope). The movie aired on the Lifetime Channel on Novemand was released to DVD in Germany and the United States in October 2013.
