Jessica Morris, best known for her role as Jennifer Rappaport in the soap ‘One Life to Live,’ brings you the full realm of holiday joy with BYUtv movie ‘Shoelaces for Christmas’, which aired December 2.

In the movie she plays Jan Miller, a selfless and loving wife and mom, someone whose essence Morris would love to emulate, the actress tells MEAWW.

'Shoelaces for Christmas' is a "story about growth and change within the human heart. I hope that it inspires people and makes them feel hopeful," says Morris.

The movie, which is also available on Amazon and iTunes, is among the plethora of Christmas movies coming out this holiday season. However, there is something that sets this joyful story apart from the rest and Morris knows exactly what it is: “Even though it has a positive message, the characters are flawed and are going through some pretty heavy and real drama in the beginning.”
