Rueben's Ramblings

On November 29, Christmas Under Wraps is the new Hallmark Channel movie that will debut at 8 PM

Dr. Lauren Brunell (Candice Cameron-Bure from Full House) has her whole life planned out. As a third year surgery resident, she is counting on being accepted into a prestigious hospital fellowship to follow in the footsteps of her supportive father, Henry (veteran actor Robert Pine from CHiPs).

But when those plans quickly fall apart, and Lauren is put on the wait list, she must take the only other opening available: a head doctor position in the small, remote town of Garland, Alaska. Convincing herself it is only temporary, Lauren moves to Garland where she is immediately charmed by Andy (David O’Donnell from the holiday movie A Christmas Proposal), a handsome local who soon starts to show her the importance of living in the moment and enjoying her unexpected adventure. As Lauren excels as Garland’s trusted doctor, she warms up to the friendly town.

But Andy’s father, Frank (veteran actor Brian Doyle-Murray from The Middle), is hiding something from her in his top-secret shipping warehouse. Just as Lauren decides to get to the bottom of her suspicions, she receives news that will force her to make a life-changing decision, while knowing for certain that the Christmas season will never be the same.
