Another of my inexplicable attachments to odd television actors is Michael Shanks. Which brings me to Thomas Kinkade Presents Christmas Lodge. I predict a higher than average chance of schmaltz, but I will clutch my popcorn and hot chocolate as I dab my eyes anyway. Available on Prime if you are inclined.

Mary Tobin has wonderful memories of family gatherings at the Christmas Lodge. When she arrives for a weekend vacation, she quickly realizes that the lodge that she loves has fallen into serious disrepair. With a lack of funds and a looming deadline, she not only restores the Christmas lodge’s charm but finds love along the way.
