Kris Marshall rom-com Sparks and Embers will be available to watch online this Christmas.

Gavin Boyter’s festive flick is released in UK cinemas on Friday 18th December, when it will also be available to unwrap at home. Marshall is no stranger to living rooms in December: Love Actually, featuring the My Family star, is a perennial favourite on repeat in many homes during the holiday season.

Here, he plays Tom, who has just been made redundant from his marketing role at a music company. But before he can leave, Tom finds himself trapped in a lift with the HR consultant who had him fired. Eloise (Annelise Hesme – Paris, Moliere) is naturally uncomfortable being confined with someone she has fired. But Tom’s juvenile attitude to their predicament helps her hide the embarrassment under a mask of contempt. As the temperature in the lift begins to rise, so do their tempers, only to give way to mutual attraction.

Five years later, they meet on London’s South Bank for the last time, following a four-year relationship that ended six months ago. Is Eloise’s life as perfect as she makes out? And does Tom have a hidden agenda?

The film will be available to rent and buy from Sky Store, iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, blinkbox, Google Play and Xbox.
