For friends and family members that can't meet in person this holiday season, NOW TV and Martine McCutcheon launched a doorstep greeting service called Greetings Gram that's reminiscent of a scene from Love Actually. The new greetings service is designed so that fans of the film can send personalized messages to loved ones for free. The service involves printing the custom messages on large cards so that they can be presented on the recipient's doorstep in a socially distant manner.
This doorstep greeting service was not only created to help people connect during a holiday season that looks different than usual but also to kick off NOW TV’s new Christmas movie season.
Online, there's also a digital version of the Greetings Gram service.
