Looking for a meta, self aware parody of a Christmas hallmark movie
Maybe the protagonist finds herself in a cheesy hallmark type movie, or moves to a town that is remarkably like those movies.
Anything with a fun twist on that formula.
Thanks
And for a humorous take on the British class system and the nature of ‘useless’ jobs, ‘Decline and Fall’ by Evelyn Waugh is my recommendation. Waugh’s debut novel is a satirical farce about the misadventures of Paul Pennyfeather and is as witty as it is a biting critique of society.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry starts with the FMC describing the “small town love story”: “Take, for example, the small-town love story. The kind where a cynical hotshot from New York or Los Angeles gets shipped off to Smalltown, USA—to, like, run a family-owned Christmas tree farm out of business to make room for a soulless corporation. But while said City Person is in town, things don’t go to plan. Because, of course, the Christmas tree farm—or bakery, or whatever the hero’s been sent to destroy—is owned and operated by someone ridiculously attractive and suitably available for wooing.” She is the “City Person’s” former significant other.
