Rueben's Ramblings

On November 18, Coming Home for Christmas is the latest holiday movie set to debut on the Hallmark Channel at 8 PM.

Allie Richfield (Danica McKellar) is at a crossroads when she lands a job as house manager for the exquisite Ashford Estate in the Virginia countryside. While preparing the place for sale, Allie plans one final Christmas Eve gala for the Marley family, though they seem to be a family in name only.

There’s Kip Marley (Andrew Francis from Chesapeake Shores), who never met a party he didn’t like; Robert (Neal Bledsoe from The Mysteries of Laura), the handsome but all-business executor of the estate; Sloane (Chelan Simmons from The L.A. Complex), who arrives with her two young children, sans husband, and the 90-year-old matriarch, Pippa, a spitfire who doesn’t want to put the house up for sale at all.

As Allie is inserted into the home and the lives of the Marley family, she finds herself drawn to Robert – even as Kip pursues her.

Here is a trailer for Coming Home for Christmas.
