Hallmark’s official tease for Tis The Season For Love
“Beth Baker is an out-of-work actress stuck in New York City without her friends at Christmas time. She decides to return home to the quaint small town she escaped 10 years before and finds a place far different than the hamlet she left. She suddenly finds performing possibilities and even romance that kind of blow her away. Will the holidays prove to be as magical for Beth as they appear, or is it doomed to disappear as quickly as it arrived for a lady who is ready to take chances she could never have imagined a decade before. Then again, this is the kind of thing that seems to happen during the Christmas season all the time.”
Tis The Season For Love is produced by Front Street Pictures, a Canadian based production company that offers services in independent film and made-for-tv-movie production, according to their website. In addition to the Hallmark Channel, Front Street’s movies have appeared extensively on the Lifetime Channel.
