New Hallmark movie

In A Season for Family, Stacey Farber stars as Maddy, a successful manager at a five-star hotel and the single mother of an adopted son named Wesley. When her son tells her his only Christmas wish is to meet his brother, she contacts the adoption agency for help.

The agency contacts Paul (Brendan Penny), a widower who adopted Wesley’s brother, Cody. At first, Paul isn’t interested in letting Cody meet his brother, in large part because he hasn’t told Cody he’s adopted.

Maddy heads home to Park City, Utah, for the holidays, which happens to be where Paul lives. Wesley and Cody meet in ski school. Though they have no idea that they are related, they form an immediate bond.

When they introduce their parents, spark fly. But Paul discovers that Wesley is Cody’s brother and starts to pull away. His best friend (played by Edward Ruttle) helps Paul realize he cannot deny his son the chance to know his brother.
