Hallmark’s synopsis reads:
After losing her husband suddenly one Christmas Eve, Kaitlyn (Williams) moves away from their Colorado home with her young son Adam (Brady Droulis, “Inventing the Christmas Prince”) and relocates to Los Angeles in search of a fresh start. Though she’s tried her best as a single mother, Kaitlyn worries about Adam. He’s become more withdrawn and, knowing her husband would have known just what their son needs, wishes Adam could have just five more minutes with him. When Kaitlyn and Adam return to Colorado to spend Christmas with her late husband’s family, she also must deal with the prospect of selling the home three of them once shared. While there, she becomes acquainted with Matthew (Bryant), a local contractor and old friend of her husband’s who was tapped by a local developer to present an offer to purchase their home. As Kaitlyn weighs her options – both with real estate and what’s next in life – she and Matthew spend time together and feelings start to develop between them. Meanwhile, Kaitlyn is thrilled to see Adam become involved in the local Christmas festivities and even comes up with a fundraising idea for the local food bank. With big decisions to make that will affect Kaitlyn and Adam’s lives, the answers she needs come in an unexpected way.”
Ashley Williams is Kaitlyn in the movie. According to her bio, she’s accumulated a long list of credits, which includes more than 200 episodes of TV, a dozen pilots, and numerous feature films. However, “Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday” and its companion movie “Sister Swap: Christmas in the City” marked the first time Williams acted alongside her real-life sister, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. Both films are part of the “Sister Swap” franchise on Hallmark. The couple not only appeared in the films, but they also had executive producing duties for both of the films.
Williams also works as a birth doula, providing emotional and physical assistance to expectant moms. She and her two kids live in both New York and Los Angeles with her and her husband, producer Neal Dodson.
Lucas Bryant portrays Matthew in the movie. According to his bio, he had a starring role in the mystery series “Haven,” which lasted for five seasons on Syfy and was based on the novella “The Colorado Kid” by Stephen King.
