Hallmark Movie Channel will begin its own holiday celebration this year with “The Most Wonderful Movies of Christmas,” a unique holiday programming slate featuring its first-ever original holiday movie, “Christmas With Tucker” and a collection of holiday viewer favorites. “Christmas With Tucker” stars Golden Globe(R) and Emmy(R) winner James Brolin and Josie Bissett in a heartfelt family film about a young boy who forms a special bond with his neighbor’s dog Tucker and learns the importance of responsibility, friends, family and love. Additionally, Hallmark Movie Channel will gift its viewers with five favorite Christmas classics including, “Holiday Affair,” “Christmas in Connecticut,” “It Happened on 5th Avenue,” “The Bishop’s Wife” and “Babes in Toyland.”
In the months following his father’s death, a young boy forms a special bond with a neighbor’s dog and learns to be a man by helping his grandparents and farmland community through a series of winter storms. “Christmas With Tucker” is a prequel to the 2009 Hallmark Hall of Fame film “A Dog Named Christmas.”
