Krissy uses the power of the "Naughty or Nice" book to un-do some "Naughty" deeds around her but finds that her newfound power isn't always so "Nice". Eventually, the "Naughty" list hits too close to home but with the help of her mother, Carol (Baxter), and father, Walter Kringle (Gross), Krissy discovers that the book's powers also reveal the nice in people, not just the naughty. Movie also stars three-time Emmy(R) nominee Meredith Baxter ("Family Ties," "Dan Vs"), Michael Gross ("Family Ties," "How I Met Your Mother"), Matt Dallas ("Kyle XY") and Gabriel Tigerman ("Skills Like This").

In the Hallmark Channel original movie, "Hitched for the Holidays", New Yorkers Rob Marino (Lawrence) and Julie Green (Henner) are feeling pressure from their meddling families to find a date this holiday season. After finding each other through a dating website, they agree to pose as each other's special someone but things get complicated when Rob's Catholic family and Julie's Jewish family get involved to help these two make it to the altar. As they double their efforts to keep the charade going through New Year's Eve, Rob and Julie are more than a little surprised when they discover their fake feelings may be a little too real. Movie stars five-time Golden Globe(R) nominee Marilu Henner ("Taxi"), Joey Lawrence ("Melissa and Joey"), and Emily Hampshire ("Ruby Gloom").
