SANTA DELIVERS ‘A BOYFRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS’

AN ENCHANTING HALLMARK CHANNEL HOLIDAY ORIGINAL

Kelli Williams Stars as a Young Girl Whose Wish Comes True –

20 Years After She Makes It!

          Forgetting the plea she made to Santa Claus 20 years before, a cynical young woman finally gets her wish for "A Boyfriend for Christmas,” in the charming Hallmark Channel Original Holiday Movie airing Friday, November 24 (9/8c) with encore showings Sunday, December 17 (9/8c) and Monday, December 25 (9/8c).

          Holly Grant (Kelli Williams, “The Practice”) is a child advocate who learned a long time ago not to rely on Santa Claus leaving Mr. Right in her Christmas stocking.  But hard-working Holly is in for a surprise when a handsome man arrives on her doorstep with a twinkle in his eye and Yuletide tree in tow.   

          Patrick Muldoon (“Melrose Place”) stars as Ryan Hayes, a successful attorney in cahoots with Santa – and in love with Holly.  Charles Durning (“Rescue Me”) stars as Kris Kringle himself, who fulfills his promise to Holly for a beau wrapped in a bow.
