The story
Some homecomings change everything

An overworked Manhattan lawyer home for Christmas rekindles a romance with her first love and falls back in love with the town she left behind, while fighting a developer to save her best friend’s beloved department store.
Home for Christmas is a warm, feel-good holiday romance about the people and places that make us who we are: a first love who never left, a small town in its most beautiful season, and a family store worth fighting for.
A T.W. Peacocke film written by Martina Finch, made in the tradition of the Christmas romances audiences return to every December on Hallmark and the streaming services.
