An indie film for the top of your watch list this month.

The holiday season is here, and you know what that means: it’s time to bring out the cozy blankets, warm up some hot cocoa, and prepare to watch as many Christmas movies as possible before 2020 comes to a close. We all could use some festive, feel-good cheer.

Packed with joy, romance and magic, Rekindling Christmas is a Hallmark-style movie with a twist.

Annika Marshall (played by Ashley Atwood of Poison Rose) and Jesse Winchester (played by Michael Patrick Lane of CW’s Dynasty) were the perfect college couple. But a week after becoming engaged, Jesse was drafted into the NFL and never returned. Now, years later, Jesse is back with a damaged knee and one goal: to live a simple life and win Annika back. With Annika’s guard up and her pain deep, it will take the help of her son TJ, every play in Jesse's book, and some Christmas magic for her to gain forgiveness in her heart.

Betrayal, loss, forgiveness, trust, love, hope... Rekindling Christmas is filled with so many emotions we experience daily. Not to mention the movie itself touches on aspects of life that we often take for granted. We won’t spoil it, but there are plenty of fun plot twists you will have to see for yourself!

Adapted from USA Today bestselling author Rebekah Ganiere, Rekindling Christmas is a heartwarming, feel-good Christmas film for the whole family. Rebekah produced it alongside her husband, James Ganiere, so it’s the perfect film to enjoy with your loved ones. Nothing is more important than family during the holidays.

The star-studded cast also includes child actor Christian Ganiere (Grey’s Anatomy, Days of Our Lives) as TJ Marshall, Disney royalty Raini Rodriguez (Austin & Ally, Paul Blart Mall Cop), Thomas Hobson (Nickelodeon’s Fresh Beat Band), Stella Grubb (Netflix’s Christmas on the Square), and Sal Velez Jr. (The Way Back with Ben Affleck, Netflix’s Black Summer).

What’s more incredible, Ashley, Michael and Raini grew up where the movie was filmed in Bryan, Texas, making its release even more special for the local community.

Prepare to be pleasantly surprised, as the spirit of the season shines through in Rekindling Christmas, reminding us what’s important in life. We all could use a movie like this to watch from the comfort of our homes.
