Rueben's Ramblings

On December 10, the Hallmark Channel movie A Nutcracker Christmas will debut at 8 PM.

Lilly James’ lifelong devotion lands her the lead role of Clara in the New York City Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. Grief-stricken and distracted after learning about her mother’s death, Lily suffers an injury and is removed from the show by Mark, her boyfriend and dance partner. Heartbroken and betrayed, Lily vows never to dance again. Years later, her daughter lands the role of Clara in the prestigious Philadelphia Nutcracker Ballet and finds that the Ballet Director is Mark, who betrayed Lilly years ago.

The cast includes Amy Acker (Person of Interest), Sascha Radetsky (Flesh and Bone), Katherine Barrell (Wynonna Earp) and newcomer Sophia Lucia.

Here is a trailer for A Nutcracker Christmas.
