Hallmark rolls out “A Reason for the Season,” a yuletide tale hitting screens this Thursday, November 14. The movie presents a trust-fund predicament with a heartwarming twist: to get her hands on her inheritance, Evie (Taylor Cole) must fulfill the Christmas wishes of the individuals who, on a fateful snowy night, ensured her safe arrival into the world.
This might sound simple enough, but decades have passed, and tracking these folks down requires some serious sleuthing. Enter Kyle (Kevin McGarry), an attorney whose rugged handsomeness is perhaps the only thing less subtle than this set-up.
Evie, for reasons passing understanding, decides to keep her true identity under wraps while enlisting Kyle’s help. As they embark on their Christmas quest, dispensing holiday cheer like overzealous elves, you can practically hear the sleigh bells of budding romance in the distance.
Will Evie manage to tick off every wish on her list before the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Eve? Will Kyle discover her secret, leading to a dramatic, mistletoe-tinged confrontation? And perhaps most importantly, will this predictable yet comforting narrative provide the cozy escapism Hallmark viewers crave?
Tune in to the Hallmark Movie Channel at 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 14, 2024 to find out.
