One Christmas Eve Anne Heche Hallmark hall of Fame Christmas Eve—one of the most magical nights of the year. Family, friends, peace on Earth, goodwill to all…but not at the Blakemore’s! This Christmas Eve, everything that CAN go wrong DOES go wrong! The riotous race to ruin starts when Cesar Cortez (Carlos Gomez) tries to drop off a puppy at the Blakemore’s front door. His heart’s in the right place, but his foot isn’t. He trips and falls. Nell (Anne Heche) and her two young kids take Cesar to the hospital, where, in no particular order, newly-separated Nell meets a dreamy doc (Brian Tee), Nell’s 11-year-old son and the puppy fall down a hole in a construction zone, a new-on-the-job security guard (Kevin Daniels) has their car towed, and a nasty nurse harasses them all. Later, for good measure, they get car-jacked. As the tow-truck driver says, “This is a big, unlucky day for you all.” Nell had wanted this Christmas Eve to be the best ever. It isn’t. But it’s certainly memorable! And valuable lessons are learned. As Nell says, “The greatest gifts are the people in our lives. The family we are born into, and the family we choose. The best gift of all is love.”
