When another person asked for the context, another person provided an explanation, writing: “The movie was actually pretty good for hallmark standards. It was called ‘the holiday sitter.’ But he was sad about the pancakes because his BF made him pancakes the day before and then they got into a fight and weren’t talking anymore.”

In terms of live + same day viewers, “The Holiday Sitter” was a big hit, bringing in more than 1.4 million views on a competitive Sunday night when “Yellowstone” and football were also airing, along with reality shows like “90 Day Fiance.”
According to ShowBuzzDaily, “The Holiday Sitter” had a respectable .21 in the 18-49 demographic and 1.45 million live + same-day viewers.
