Emotionally scarred by a failed
marriage, Katherine has plunged into her successful career as a NYC
marketing executive, but her workaholic ways are taking a toll on her 8
year old son, Zack. Concerned over Zack's increasing disaffection,
Katherine decides they will spend Christmas in her home town in
Louisiana's bayou country, where her mother, Lilly, is soon match-making
with a vengeance. When Caleb, Katherine's old admirer, tries to
rekindle a childhood romance and convince her to move home, Katherine is
torn between the bright lights of the big city and the quiet, gentler
rhythms of her Southern roots. But a small Christmas miracle,
orchestrated by the mysterious Papa Noel, convinces Katherine that her
heart belongs back in the bayou where she was raised.

Our Two Cents:
Many of these movies have a major motion picture counterpart, and this one is a holiday Hope Floats. This movie (and Tyler Hilton) will win you over with it's southern charm and you might just start considering making a trip to the bayou yourself.
