When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas Airs Tonight – Merry Christmas!

As has become tradition on the Hallmark Channel, the When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas movie special debuts tonight, Christmas Day.

Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) is excited to celebrate Christmas with Little Jack, as well as his first birthday on Christmas Eve, but she’s missing Jack Sr. as she tries to create a Christmas for her son that’s as special as the ones she experienced growing up. She becomes drawn into a crisis in Nathan’s (Kevin McGarry) family life with his niece, Allie (Jaeda Lily Miller) when he’s faced with a life-altering decision.

Meanwhile Lucas (Chris McNally) puts on a show for Elizabeth and the entire town, transforming Main Street into a magical German Christmas Festival. Elsewhere, Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) and Lee (Kavan Smith) obsess with their own challenge to come up with the perfect Christmas present for Little Jack while Bill (Jack Wagner) knows exactly what he intends to give his godson. Carson (Paul Greene) and Faith (Andrea Brooks) get their signals crossed as they try to spend their first Christmas together as a couple.

When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas debuts at 8/7c on the Hallmark Channel.

  1. Watching the Christmas special and I see a lot of things that just would not be present back in the 1800s :/

    • Actually, the show is set in the 1910’s not the 1800s; ergo, the introduction of the telephone last season, and the existence of the first cars.
