The festive season has officially kicked off with a Christmas film that viewers "absolutely love" now available to stream.

Released on Netflix on Wednesday, November 19, Champagne Problems follows ambitious American executive Sydney Price (portrayed by Minka Kelly) as she jets off to Paris to secure a champagne brand acquisition by Christmas.

Before diving into business, she opts for one evening off to soak up the magnificent city's atmosphere when she encounters the captivating Henri Cassell (Tom Wozniczka).

Following a magical evening of passion, they return to their separate worlds until she uncovers that Henri is actually a crucial figure in the very vineyard she's attempting to purchase.
