The End of Charmaine’s Story: Lauren Hammersley (Virgin River) Dies at Age 45 md20

Breckenridge’s major credits also include 2006’s She’s the Man and the acclaimed drama series This Is Us, but she found new fame starring in Netflix’s romance series starting in 2019 and will return for Virgin River season 7. In the meantime, she has taken on another project with the streaming giant, which is proving to be a holiday season success.

Per FlixPatrol, My Secret Santa is the No. 1 movie on Netflix today (December 9), outpacing streaming hits such as Jay Kelly, Troll 2, The Rats: A Witcher Story, and Death Wish. Directed by Mike Rohl, My Secret Santa is also No. 1 among the Top 10 Movies in the U.S. Today, in this case ahead of titles such as KPop Demon Hunters and Rio, which remain in the domestic Top 10.

My Secret Santa has the wide appeal of a holiday flick, which has turned it into a fast success, following its streaming release on December 3. Emedo Ashibeze says in ScreenRant‘s review for My Secret Santa that while the rom-com is laden with clichés (which may be a good or bad thing to audience members), Breckenridge “shines” and “elevates” the affair.

It’s the time of year when Netflix is bound to release a few holiday offerings, which this season has also included Jingle Bell Heist and Champagne Problems. These two flicks are respectively at No. 7 and No. 10 on the worldwide streaming charts today, dropping somewhat after their debut, which indicates what the coming weeks could look like for My Secret Santa as well.

Those who are more invested in the race could look at additional data from Netflix at the end of December to determine the true “winner” of the streamer’s Christmas movie cycle. But My Secret Santa and its contemporaries may also be supporting each other, generating interest in the shared genre, allowing them all to continue to be popular during the holidays.
