Baby It's Cold Outside

The heartwarming and uplifting love story you need this winter




Ten years ago Norah and Andrew promised to meet on Christmas Eve if they're still single. Now the time has come, but will Andrew be waiting there for her?

Norah Jones is known for two things, sharing a name with a famous musician and always being single.
After another year of heartbreak Norah fears spending Christmas alone. Before she remembers Andrew, who she fell for ten years earlier.
Fate pulled them apart, but not before they made a promise:
If they're both still single on Christmas Eve 2019 they must stand under the clock at Bewley's Café on Grafton Street, Dublin.
So that's where Norah decides to go. To Dublin. To that clock. And, hopefully, to Andrew.
But it wouldn't be Christmas without a few surprises . . .
