Thursday, November 27: We Met in December
Stars: Autumn Reeser (Junebug), Niall Matter (This Time Each Year)
On an unexpected layover in mid-December, Annie Lane (Reeser) and Dave Weeks (Matter) meet as
strangers in a beautiful hotel all decorated for the holidays. It’s love at first sight, and they end up
having a magical night of sharing hopes, dreams...and a perfect kiss. But when they fail to exchange
numbers and miss each other the next morning, Annie and Dave fly back to Chicago with no easy
way to track the other one down. The only clues they have are those shared about plans for the
upcoming holiday season, and the two embark on separate quests to find one another. Along the
way, insightful wisdom shared during their time together leads Annie and Dave to make important
changes in their lives, leading them both to find ways of making this Christmas special for
themselves, their families, and their loved ones.
Friday, November 28: The Snow Must Go On – premieres at 6 pm ET/PT
Stars: Heather Hemmens (Christmas Under the Lights), Corey Cott (Season’s Greetings from
Cherry Lane)
Isaiah Heyward (Cott) last appeared on Broadway almost 10 years ago. Since then, getting back on
Broadway has been a challenge. To escape the grind of the city and re-evaluate his life, Isaiah visits
his sister, Jess, and teenage niece, Aurora, in upstate New York for the holidays. But his yuletide
respite is interrupted when he learns Aurora’s high school may have to cancel their annual Christmas
musical because they can’t find a director. With a nudge from Aurora and the school’s guidance
counselor, Lilly-Anne Brigente (Hemmens), Isaiah decides to save the Christmas show and jumps in
as director. Isaiah’s situation gets a little more complicated when he learns that an influential
Broadway producer’s daughter is in the school production, so Isaiah decides to cast himself as the
lead in order to land a part in an upcoming Broadway show. But while the curtain rises on rehearsals
and the Christmas Eve opening night fast approaches, Isaiah finds some Christmas surprises of his
own, as he stumbles upon an unexpected romance with Lilly-Anne, creates an unanticipated bond
with his students, reassesses his priorities and ultimately discovers that the greatest holiday gift is
found when love, family, and friendship take centerstage.
Friday, November 28: The More the Merrier – premieres at 8 pm ET/PT
Stars: Rachel Boston (Adventures in Love & Birding), Brendan Penny (Chesapeake Shores)
Alice (Boston), an emergency room doctor at a small, rural hospital, always volunteers to work the
Christmas Eve overnight shift and goes the extra mile to make the holiday merry and bright for
patients and staff. When the hospital gets snowed in, Alice and Brian (Penny), the newly hired top-
rated cardiologist, find themselves in the middle of a bona fide baby boom when three women –
including the only OBGYN for miles around – go into labor on the rarest birthday of the year. As they
team up to bring these bundles of joy into the world as the night wears on, Alice, Brian and the rest
of the staff also work hard to make the holiday feel festive for all the patients. Though they may have
different approaches to medicine – and to life – there’s a spark between them and by the end of their
shift it’s clear that this may be the Christmas Eve that changes them both forever.
Saturday, November 29: An Alpine Holiday – premieres at 6 pm ET/PT
