Plot

A widow attempts to reopen her late-uncle's old dilapidated small town movie theater for one last Christmas screening.

Jennifer and Meg Swift are sisters who couldn't be closer despite living hours apart. Jennifer is in Salt Lake City, running a successful restaurant she started with her late husband and raising her teenage son Simon. Meg stayed in their hometown of Hazelwood, helping their parents run the local bakery. This Christmas is the family's first since the passing of Uncle Dave, who owned the town's beloved theater, The Madison, where many memories were made over the years. When Jennifer and Simon return home for the holiday, they become wistful for one more Christmas at The Madison, although it's for sale and needs repairs. Meanwhile, Meg is helping Jennifer's restaurant staff in Salt Lake prepare for a Christmas competition among local restaurants, with the winner earning money for the charity of his/her choice. When the sisters switch cities leading up to the holiday, they find a new sense of purpose and discover what they both truly need in life and in love.—Hallmark

The elderly couple that runs the best bakery and only movie theater in small town Hazelwood annually host the family Christmas celebrations. This first edition after the death of their son Dave, they decided to close and sell the latter which he operated, Madison, popular but run-down. Widowed daughter Jennifer Swift, visiting from Salt Lake City, where she runs a restaurant, with sweet teen son Simon, convinces everyone to stage a last Christmas viewing, initially family-only, but soon the half town invite themselves. Local conservation officer and generous handyman Eric Baker and a movie theater fan take charges of minimal repairs, which probe a potential, yet break down at the planned night, but suffice to keep ambition and alternative planning going, the only suitable buyer may be outmaneuvered after all.—KGF Vissers
