Champagne Problems (Netflix)
If you’ve stumbled onto Girls Gone Hallmark while Googling Champagne Problems, you might be thinking, “Wait… aren’t these the Hallmark movie review ladies?” And yes – we absolutely are. But every now and then, we like to slip off the Hallmark Channel highway and take a scenic detour into something sparkly, romantic, and just outside the network bubble.
Which brings us to today’s review of the Netflix film Champagne Problems – a festive Parisian tale where Sydney, an executive for an investment group, heads to France to acquire a legendary champagne brand before Christmas, only to have her plans complicated (in the best way) by a charming local who turns out to be the founder’s son. So pop a cork and settle in – let’s santé our way through this movie.
Champagne Problems was released on Netflix on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
