A Christmas Melody

Delightful Hallmark Channel movie follows Kristin Parson (Lacey Chabert), a talented clothing designer and single mom who, along with daughter Emily (Fina Strazza), is forced to close her boutique and move back to her small Ohio hometown. As Emily turns to music teacher Danny (Brennan Elliott)--a high school friend of Kristin’s who still has a crush on her--to help write a song for the upcoming Christmas show, Kristin clashes with old rival-turned-PTA queen Melissa (Mariah Carey). With Kathy Najimy. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
