The movie premieres this year during Hallmark Channel&#8217;s annual, top-rated &#8220;Countdown to Christmas&#8221; programming event.<\/p>\n<p>Sweeney plays Summer, an architect living in a small town where she&#8217;s raising her young daughter Chloe (Maesa Nicholson, &#8220;<em>Dying for Chocolate: A Curious Caterer Mystery<\/em>&#8220;). When her mother Vivian (Thomas) finds herself in need of a place to live, her orderly life becomes a little less so after inviting Vivian to move in with them during this transition. Upon arrival, Vivian sets up an heirloom, a miniature Christmas village resembling their town, and tells Chloe it grants Christmas wishes. As Chloe begins setting up the figurines, real-life events seem to mimic the scenes she creates, including Summer&#8217;s chance meeting with Ryan (Macfarlane), a newcomer to their community. The two quickly learn they share much in common and as they spend more time together, Ryan slowly helps Summer learn to open her hear to love again. Meanwhile, living under the same roof gives Summer and Vivian the chance to mend fences as the holiday nears and, perhaps with a little help from the magic of the Christmas village, the family will be brought closer together.<\/p>\n<p>Sweeney is an award-winning actress, producer, director, content supplier, TV host, and author who is a constant source of inspiration with her balance of career and her focus on family, health, and wellness. Sweeney currently stars and executive produces rom-com television movies for a global audience. No stranger to the camera, Sweeney began her acting at age four, and at age 16, she joined the cast of &#8220;<em>Days of Our Lives<\/em>,&#8221; playing the Emmy-nominated role of Sami Brady for 21+ years.
