InA Kiss Before Christmas,Denton plays real estate development executive Ethan Holt, who has two teen children and a wife, Joyce (Hatcher). On Christmas Eve, Ethan is disappointed to learn he’s losing out on a promotion and wishes that his life had taken a different course — a wish that becomes reality thanks to some Christmas magic.
He wakes up the next morning and is shocked to find that he isn’t married to Joyce, he doesn’t have two teenage kids and he’s CEO of his company. He then must figure out how to reclaim his original life and the family he loves with the help of Joyce, but he only has until Christmas Day to do it.
“We’re in this bedroom scene, which is not sexy, it’s a couple of married people having a conversation,” he said. “But I kind of went back to that slow Delfino, kind of, you drive the conversation, I just nod and kiss you.”

“The beauty of Hallmark,” Denton concluded.
