DINNER, FLOWERS... AND MILLIONS OF VIEWERS!

EMMY� NOMINEE GAIL O'GRADY IS LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT MAN AND IS BRINGING THE NATION ALONG FOR THE RIDE IN 'ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS,' A HALLMARK ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING DECEMBER 1

Greg Germann and Robert Mailhouse Star in the Holiday Fairytale

A single mother with no time for dating suddenly finds herself with thousands of potential suitors in "All I Want For Christmas," a Hallmark Original Movie premiering Saturday, December 1 (9/8c). Emmy� nominee Gail O'Grady ("NYPD Blue," "American Dreams"), SAG Award winner Greg Germann ("Ally McBeal") and Robert Mailhouse (Hallmark Channel's "Love is a Four Letter Word") star in the film, which suggests that what we wish for the most is often closer than we imagine.

Sara (O'Grady) has had little time to worry about a love life since her husband died seven years ago, as romance has taken a back seat to raising her wise-beyond-his-years son, Jesse (Jimmy Jax Pinchak, "The Polar Express"), and running a local community center. But when Jesse enters a toy company contest that asks children for their greatest Christmas wish, asking them to find his mom a new husband, Sara suddenly finds herself in a whirlwind of dates, with cameras following her every move.

Soon, it becomes obvious that she has more chemistry with Roger (Germann), the son of the toy company CEO, than with any of the official bachelors. But as Sara gets to know the wealthy Roger better, Jesse begins to realize that he would rather see his mom end up with Ben (Mailhouse), their longtime friend and neighbor who is attractive, loyal�and unavailable.

It may take a miracle for the right man to win out, Jesse figures, but that's what Christmas is about!
