A Family Christmas Gift is the Final Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Movie of 2019

By  | 

The final Hallmark Movies & Mysteries “Miracles of Christmas” holiday movie A Family Christmas Gift debuts tonight, December 22.

When music magazine editor Amber (Holly Robinson Peete from the Morning Show Mysteries and Christmas in Evergreen franchises) goes to Colorado for Christmas with her aunt, the famous singer Dora DuChamp (legendary singer Patti LaBelle), she bosses the handsome driver who meets her. Later, she learns he’s Alan (Dion Johnstone from Sweet Magnolias and Star Falls), Dora’s friend, the school music teacher, who was doing her a favor.

Off to a frosty start, Amber and Alan are none too happy to find out at the tree lighting Dora has volunteered them to organize the school fundraiser. In charge of the event for years, Alan bristles when Amber wants to turn it into an elaborate gala. Claiming it’s a showcase for the kids since the music program is funded by a grant, Alan is blasé when Amber leaves.

But when the grant is canceled, he becomes open to Amber’s ideas, especially when her magazine becomes a sponsor. But, of course, there’s one condition: Amber must get Dora, who isn’t fond of the press, to give an interview. Agreeing to write the article herself, Amber convinces Dora and the two enjoy catching up in the process.

As Alan and Amber warm up while planning everything, all is going well, until the auditorium pipes burst. Luckily, Dora comes to the rescue, suggesting the church holds the event and offering to come out of retirement to draw people in. With the fundraiser a success, the warmth between Alan and Amber grows into a romantic flame. Too bad Amber is offered a huge promotion that will launch her career.

A Family Christmas Gift premieres Sunday, December 22 at 9/8c on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
