Hallmark’s ‘Christmas Comes Twice’ Asks What If You Had A Do Over?
Hallmark’s latest Countdown to Christmas movie, Christmas Comes Twice, asks us, what would you change if you could do it all over again? Starring Tamera Mowry-Housley (A Christmas Miracle), Michael Xavier (Christmas On Wheels) and Sheryl Lee Ralph (Ray Donovan), this story takes us on a magical carousel ride.
What Is Hallmark’s Christmas Comes Twice About?
What if you were given a second chance? According to the Hallmark press release, astrophysicist Cheryl Jenkins (Mowry-Housley) works for the National Science Foundation. There, she reviews grant applications, but in all truth, she would rather be doing her own project.
It is time for the holidays and Cheryl heads home for some family time. As is their tradition, the first thing she does is visit the annual Christmas carnival with her sister, Trish (Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Burden of Truth).
While at the carnival, Cheryl sees the carousel and takes a ride. When the ride is over, she heads over to find her sister. But, something has changed. It is five years earlier! She cannot wrap that around her astrophysicist brain.
Yet, Cheryl sees this as her real opportunity. She decides she can reset her life and make some different choices. This also includes some important connections, including meeting up with her beloved science teacher, Ms. Nelson (Ralph). Sadly, this mentor had passed on five years ago, and this is a precious chance to see her again.
In addition, Cheryl meets with her “frenemy,” George (Xavier). But, time has made her look at George in a totally different way. Moreover, they have quite a connection.
But, the carousel returns her back to the present. Did Cheryl learn her lesson? Most of all, is the love she found in the past right there in the present?
