HALLMARK CHANNEL’S ‘COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS’
‘A KISS FOR THE NEW YEAR’
That first kiss of the New Year is magical: It’s supposed to signify that special person with whom we’ll spend the next year, and possibly, forever, so it’s wise not to squander those affections. When everyone else just puckers up to the nearest set of lips, Robin has always kept her wits — and her mouth — to herself. An established photographer at a lifestyle website, she’s assigned to work on a New Year’s Eve story with a new hire, Todd. When she confides in Todd that she has never kissed anyone as the clock strikes midnight, he sets about to correct this by finding someone for Robin to kiss at the magic hour. His theory is a kiss is just a kiss, and she should enjoy the moment. Ultimately, they are both right – Todd finds a man for her to smooch and Robin does find the right man. And guess who fits the bill?
‘ANGEL FALLS’ Stars: Rachel Boston (“A Rose for Christmas,” “In Plain Sight”)
Fallen angel Gabby must redeem herself. To do so, she’s dispatched to where else but the town of Angel Falls. It’s not a job for any one being, even one endowed with her special powers.
