UPtv is betting on bluegrass and family legacies this holiday season with “A Bluegrass Christmas,” a new original movie strumming its way onto screens Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 7:00 PM. Forget the usual saccharine holiday fare; this one looks to inject a little twang into the festive mix.
The story centers on Katie, played by Amanda Jordan, whose family’s horse sanctuary is on the brink of closure. Her last-ditch effort to save their beloved haven hinges on convincing her reclusive grandfather, bluegrass music legend Ben Pendleton (Shaun Johnston), to emerge from his self-imposed exile for a Christmas benefit concert.
Now, getting a legendary musician back on stage is never easy. There’s always a complicated backstory, a touch of stage fright, maybe a dash of good old-fashioned stubbornness. “A Bluegrass Christmas” will likely hit those familiar notes, exploring family dynamics, reconciliation, and the enduring power of music.
“A Bluegrass Christmas” airs Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 7:00 PM on UPtv.
