The Christmas Pageant
On December 11, The Christmas Pageant will debut on the Hallmark Channel at 8 PM.
Vera Parks (Melissa Gilbert), an overly intense and demanding Broadway director gets fired from yet another job, leaving her no choice but to take a gig directing a small town Christmas pageant in upstate New York. Stunned at how basic the production is, Vera attempts to back out, but she is convinced by Garret (Ed Herrmann) the owner of the B&B and some of the other locals to give their town a chance. To her surprise, the warmth and charm of the small town grows on Vera and she even enjoys the experience of directing the pageant. When Vera discovers her former fiancé Jack (Robert Mailhouse) recommended her for the job, she is outraged. But over time Vera appreciates the gesture, as she grows close to both Jack and his young daughter. Will love stay in the wings this time around? Or is this Vera’s eleven o’clock number after all?
Here is the trailer for The Christmas Pageant.
Rueben's Ramblings 
Did not intend to watch this movie, however my wife and I both enjoyed it. It was a return to the past, a small town, simple characters and a nice sentiment.
I’m glad you really liked the movie.
I enjoyed the movie immensely! I especially loved Anita Corning singing it was so beautiful and made me have tears. That’s says alot because I don’t get this way especially a guy like me! Does this young lady having a singing career or do broadway shows? I would be very interested if she has made an album for me to purchase! I just love her singing! Many thanks for the well made for family tv movie on the Hallmark channel!
I have yet to watch the movie so I’m afraid I can’t help answer your questions; but I’m sure one of the readers/viewers of the movie might be able to help you out.
