- TriviaThe bar they go to is supposed to be in Tribeca, but then they show it is located on West 44th Street, which is generally Hell's Kitchen (depending on the avenue), nowhere close to Tribeca.
- GoofsStan and Joanna are celebrating their 36th anniversary of the day they first met back in 1986. However, due to December 13th falling on a Wednesday and it being celebrated as the 7th night of Hanukkah, the present day of this movie takes place in 2023, which would make it their 37th anniversary.
Also, for the nights of Hanukkah during their "meet cute" and present day anniversary to both take place between December 7 to 15, they would have had to meet in 1985, not 1986.

Featured review
A Wild Trip For Hallmark
This Hallmark holiday romance acknowledges that it is a variation on the film "Groundhog Day", then plots its own course through some twists and turns to a different take on the time loop story.
It all starts on the seventh day of Hanukkah, when Rachel (Vic Michaelis) encounters some difficulties, but makes it to the family celebration, where the drapes catch on fire.
After this complication, Rachel awakes the next day only to find that it is still the seventh day. Nevertheless, she sets about her daily activities---again with some difficulties---while aware of the similarities and differences from her yesterday. She confides in Zach (Bryan Greenberg), a new acquaintance who seems to be a part of the overall scheme of the day. Together they try to find any cause for the phenomenon or any way out of it. They bring others into their quest, which resets every morning.
The diverse cast includes some strong performances, like Paula Shaw who plays Rachel's grandmother Rosie with a strong presence.
The plot is part sci-fi, part mystery, part romance, and part comedy. And each part gets its due. The leads are strong. The story starts slowly, but that is necessary to set up the details of Rachel's day; soon enough the narrative gets going and the pace is enjoyable.
