Benjamin Ayres and Laura Vandervoort will star in the new Hallmark movie Miracle in Bethlehem, PA. The film will premiere on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries as part of the network’s Miracles of Christmas lineup.

New Hallmark movie
In Miracle in Bethlehem, PA, Laura Vandervoort plays Mary Ann, a successful lawyer who wants nothing more than to adopt a child and be a mother. Just before Christmas she gets called to Bethlehem, Penn., to meet her child, a baby girl named Natalie. But bad weather forces her to cancel her trip home. The local inn is full but the owner sends Mary Ann and Natalie to stay with her brother Joe (played by Benjamin Ayres), who has a spare room.
A confirmed bachelor, Joe tries his best to make his home welcoming for his guests. When the bad weather continues, Mary Ann extends her stay. She ends up taking part in Christmas activities at Joe’s church. As Mary Ann and Joe spend more time together, it’s becoming clear to them — and everyone around them — that an attraction is growing.
The two open up about their personal challenges. Mary Ann is afraid to tell her mother that she adopted a child. Joe is still reeling from the loss of his father, who was his best friend.
“As Mary Ann and Joe connect through their shared faith and become close, they could just be the unexpected blessing in each other’s life in surprising ways,” reads a synopsis from Hallmark.
