A nod to all things Christmas, Megan Ryder lays it on thick but scores some mistletoe this holiday season. A combination of the Grinch and a Hallmark movie, Operation: Christmas Seduction brings out the angst, charm and sentimentality. With a little role reversal and a stocking full of heart, Paige and Ryan generate the euphoric romance and holiday magic that is synonymous with this time of year.
