What is Never Been Chris’d about?
Best friends Naomi Long (Janel Parrish) and Liz Waitt (Pascal Lamothe-Kipnes) have done everything together since they were born. They even run their own business together, and enjoy holidays in Hawaii. But, Naomi’s mom Linda, (“Linda Ko, “Sweeter Than Chocolate”) convinces them to spend December in their Iowa hometown. However, that’s not the only announcement Linda has. She then tells Naomi of her plans to move in with her.
As if things couldn’t get any more interesting, their high school crush moves back to town. Liz and Naomi weren’t in Chris Silver’s (Tyler Hynes) league back in high school. But now, they are powerhouse businesswomen, and Chris takes notice of that. As they enjoy romantic Christmas activities, a love triangle forms. Naomi and Liz both grow closer to Chris, and begin to question their friendship. Has their bond held them back? They have to navigate these complexities as issues surface and tensions simmer over the holiday season.
