Rueben's Ramblings

The Hallmark Channel movie The Christmas Ornament will debut on November 16 at 8 PM.

Newly widowed Kathy (Kellie Martin from Army Wives) plans to skip out on decking the halls and trimming the tree this Christmas, trying to avoid anything that will bring back memories of her late husband. The only Christmas tradition she will observe is baking cookies for her friends, a passion since she was a child. When Kathy meets handsome Christmas tree shop owner Tim (Cameron Mathison from All My Children), though, their undeniable chemistry – along with an ornament Tim gives her that symbolizes hope – helps Kathy open up to the joys of the season again.

With the support of her best friend Jenna (Jewel Staite from Firefly and Stargate: Atlantis), and the budding relationship with Tim, Kathy begins to embrace the hopeful message of the ornament, eventually hanging it – along with many others – on her Christmas tree.

Here is a behind-the-scenes trailer for The Christmas Ornament.
