When Henrietta Winkle moves from her home state of New Jersey to the beautiful cobbled streets of Chelsea,
West London, it is with one goal; to find the Englishman of her dreams and live out her very own rom-com.
You see, Henrietta grew up obsessing over 90�s romantic comedies, especially those starring the famous British actor, Hugh Grant.  Now Henrietta is convinced that what she needs in her life is her own floppy-haired Brit. With his eloquent speech, sparkling wit and pathological levels of modesty, what girl wouldn�t want to date such a man?
It's in her local caf� that Henrietta sets eyes on Albert � outrageously dapper in a Barbour jacket � and knows that cupid�s arrow has finally found its mark. But before she has the chance to sweep Albert off his feet, in lopes a gruff American man � from New Jersey, no less � who seems intent on stealing all of her attention and maybe, just maybe, capturing her heart.

All I Want for Christmas is Hugh is as funny and feel-good as any Richard Curtis movie. It�s a glorious celebration of unlikely love affairs, British rom coms and the joy of finding love in unexpected places.
