Christmas is traditionally the time to be jolly but try telling that to Hannah Morris. When her boyfriend unexpectedly breaks up with her, Hannah heads home for the holidays, broken-hearted and desperate to not bump into her former high school sweetheart Sam. Her widowed dad convinces Hannah to sign up with him for the town’s ‘Christmas Cupid’, an anonymous holiday pen pal service. Skeptical at first, Hannah has a change of heart once she meets the handsome local doctor, who has also signed up. When she begins to receive beautifully written letters of love, she is convinced he is her ‘Christmas Cupid’. But what she doesn’t realize is that her secret pen pal is actually Sam! As she grows more convinced that her anonymous pen pal is her soul mate, Hannah is confused by the reignited feelings she has for Sam. How will she choose between the two? And how will she react at the Christmas Cupid event when it’s revealed that the two are one and the same? Director: Siobhan Devine Cast: Sarah Drew, Niall Matter, Michael Gross
