Romance and festivals seem to be a perfect blend for movie lovers. Christmas is still two months away but plans to celebrate it have mostly started. Unfortunately, this year might seem different because of the ongoing pandemic – large gatherings and celebrations will be restricted, and rightly so. However, that shouldn’t dampen your holiday spirit. To spread joy before actual Christmas Day, as part of the network’s annual ‘Miracles of Christmas’ programming event, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is set to premiere the movie ‘Cranberry Christmas’. Here are the details.

Release date

‘Cranberry Christmas’ will air on Saturday, October 31, at 10 pm ET.

Plot

(Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)

According to the press release, the story revolves around Dawn and Gabe Hughes, the husband and wife co-founders of famed lifestyle brand Cranberry Lane. However, even though they seem like a ‘perfect couple’, the blissfully wedded “Mr. and Mrs. Cranberry Lane” aren’t on the same page. They aren’t even sure if they want the same things in life. Even though Dawn and Gabe intend to keep their distance over the holidays, fate has other plans when they learn they’re still spearheading their town’s Christmas festival together. To complicate matters further, a popular TV personality wants to feature them, their festival, and their “perfect” Christmas on her show. The couple pretends to be the happy couple. But in this process, they seem to be reconnecting with each other.  However, just when things look to be positive, new job opportunities come up and the question arises if they want to give their relationship a second chance and whether they really want different things in life.
