THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT WITH CHRISTMAS ROMANCE FOR
'FALLING SKIES' STAR SARAH CARTER IN
'ONE STARRY CHRISTMAS,'
A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE WORLD PREMIERE HOLIDAY 2014

The #1 Most Treasured Holiday Destination by Television Viewers;
George Canyon, Damon Runyan and Paul Popowich Co-Star
The Christmas stars align for holiday love in "One Starry Christmas," a Hallmark Channel
Original Movie World Premiere in Holiday 2014. Sarah Carter ("Falling Skies") plays an astronomer
who finds romance with an unexpected travel companion played by Damon Runyan ("The
Husband She Met Online"), in the merry holiday tale. Top selling country music star George
Canyon ("Nashville Star," "A Christmas Miracle") and Paul Popowich ("Hemlock Grove") are
among the shining stars lighting up the screen alongside Carter and Runyan. "One Starry
Christmas" is part of Hallmark Channel's annual COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS, the #1 most
treasured holiday destination by television viewers.
"Our audience not only seeks out Hallmark Channel for the network's beloved and
cherished holiday films, but also for our treasured, romantic movies," said Michelle Vicary, Executive
Vice President of Programming, Crown Media Family Networks. "'One Starry Christmas'
combines the elements of love, romance and holiday to bring the perfect uplifting movie the
entire family can enjoy."
Aspiring astronomy professor - and Christmas enthusiast - Holly (Carter) is crushed
when her longtime boyfriend Adam (Popowich) schedules a business trip and leaves her alone
over the holidays. When she decides to surprise both Adam and her parents with a Christmas
visit, however, fate - or perhaps the Christmas spirit - intervenes. Holly's bumpy holiday travel
makes a turn onto the road to romance when she and her bus companion, Luke (Runyan),
forge an instant connection over their love of constellations and Christmas. In the spirit of the
season, Holly invites Luke and his brother Bull (Canyon) to join her family and Adam for
Christmas, which instantly creates a competition between Luke and Adam for Holly's attention.
As sparks fly like shooting stars between Holly and Luke, Holly must decide whether to play it
safe and stay with Adam, or to thank her lucky stars for the Christmas gift of romance with
Luke.
