About “Single on the 25th” 

For Nell Duke, played by Lyndsy Fonseca, nothing stings quite like being single during the holidays. Everywhere she turns—twinkling lights, mistletoe, cozy couples—it feels like the universe is rubbing her relationship status in her face.

When her family unexpectedly cancels their Christmas plans, Nell decides she won’t let the disappointment ruin her holiday spirit. Instead, she sets out to enjoy the week of Christmas completely on her own. Determined… but maybe not fully equipped.

That’s when she crosses paths with her neighbor Cooper, portrayed by Daniel Lissing. Cooper is a confident, happily unattached financial analyst who practically wears his bachelor lifestyle like a badge of honor. Noticing Nell’s struggle, he jumps in with his own “pro tips” for making the holidays festive while flying solo.

What begins as a friendly partnership slowly transforms into something more heartfelt—until Nell discovers Cooper originally helped her because he felt sorry for her. Their growing connection breaks apart, forcing them both to reconsider what they truly want out of the season… and each other.
