One Twitter user described the pancakes featured front and center in Hallmark’s “The Holiday Sitter” as “Officially the world’s most impressive pancakes!” and we couldn’t agree more. Jonathan Bennett’s protagonist, Sam, isn’t planning to cook while watching his niece and nephew for a few days — he even has a full takeout schedule all ready to go. However, when Sam’s plans fall through, he needs to find a breakfast for the kids fast and his dreamy neighbor Jason is the one to save the day.
Sam’s niece is specifically craving vegan pancakes, so Jason whips up a batter. Whisking flour together with some unspecified dry ingredients, Jason instructs Sam to keep stirring and add another cup of flour, though he inhales some of it and has a hilarious coughing fit. Then, they add oat milk and continue mixing the concoction. With the hot griddle at the ready, there are only a few more tricks to make the pancakes both tasty and festive.

In his exclusive interview with The List, Jonathan Bennett shared just how much the movie meant to him and reflected on his character’s personal transformation, which thankfully happens in time for the holidays. Bennett noted, “He learns what it’s like to have a family and be part of a family at the holidays, and [it] changes his heart and mind.”
The actor also discussed the important work the movie does for LGBTQ representation in the media — specifically, the Hallmark channel. “What’s different about ‘The Holiday Sitter’ is that there are two men that fall in love and we make history on Hallmark Channel, because [it’s] the first time there’s ever been an LGBTQ+ meet cute Christmas rom-com with a leading gay storyline,” he pointed out.
The movie also boasts a queer director, Ali Liebert, who shouted out her excitement on Twitter. Sam ultimately finds babysitting help in Jason, played by George Krissa, a hunky contractor who lives next door and dreams of a family of his own. Besides being handy, Jason is also an excellent cook (via Twitter), and he whips up an impressive breakfast that had everybody eagerly demanding the recipe.
