Synopsis for the movie When Calls The Heart Christmas on Hallmark Channel

The holidays are here, and Elizabeth plans to help everyone pull off the best Christmas ever. In her home town of Hope Valley, families are living in crisis with the recent loss of many of their homes and loved ones. Without some husbands being able to provide, the community needs to ban together to help everyone get what they need.

Elizabeth wants to help and has planned to have shipments of food, supplies, and gifts delivered to Hope Valley just in time for the holidays. However, her plans are thwarted after a train delays, which backs up the shipments and threatens to ruin Christmas for them all.

Meanwhile, the mayor is not so happy about the upcoming annual banquet and pageant. And a man’s strange arrival in town makes everyone paint him as mysterious. However, he quickly begins to win over their hearts as his knack for human kindness is apparent. A common peddler who knows how to get what he needs to survive, the kind stranger shares his ideas with the towns people. Eventually, suspicious residents begin to accuse the man of being a thief.

What is more, Jack is dying to spend a moment of quiet time with Elizabeth so he can ask her to come with him to the Mountie Ball.

As chair for the Christmas Committee, Elizabeth has her hands full as she tries to console the people after they learn that none of their needed items will arrive in time for Christmas. That’s when Sam, the mysterious stranger, takes the lead in helping everyone to see that Christmas is not always about material things, but about the spirit of giving and the witnessing of real-life miracles.
