The new Hallmark movie The Gift of Peace explores grief at the holidays
Though Hallmark is known for its Christmas romantic comedies, a new Hallmark movie explores grief at the holidays.

Brennan Elliott plays the group director, who convinces Traci to stay with the program even though […]
What’s on the Hallmark schedule this weekend? Four new Christmas movies and a host of old favorites.
First up is The Gift of Peace, which stars Nikki DeLoach and Brennan Elliott. In the movie, Nikki DeLoach plays Traci, a once-devout Christian who stopped believing in God after her husband died despite her prayers. As the Christmas season approaches, she joins a support group for widowed spouses, only to find that it is faith-based. After leaving the meeting, she runs into the group leader (played by Brennan Elliott), and he convinces her to give the group another try.
According to a synopsis from Hallmark, “As she participates in Christmas activities related to each week’s theme of comfort, peace, hope, and joy, she bonds with her vibrant, new spiritual community and her art becomes more inspired. Traci finds the strength to keep moving forward and open her heart again, realizing that true faith is more than just answered prayers and that love surrounds us, always.”
Also premiering this weekend is The Most Colorful Time of the Year, starring Christopher Russell and Katrina Bowden. Russell plays an elementary school teacher who learns that he is colorblind. Michelle, an optometrist and mother of one of his students, helps bring color into his life in time for Christmas.
Aimee Teagarden and Tanner Novlan will star in Christmas Class Reunion. In this rom-com, former flames reunite at their 15-year high school reunion.
Finally, The Holiday Sitter will air on Hallmark Channel. The movie stars Jonathan Bennett as Sam, a workaholic bachelor who babysits his niece and nephew when his sister and her husband have to go out of town right before the holidays. Completely out of his element, he recruits help from their handsome neighbor Jason and finds himself in an unexpected romance.
