Marisol Nichols (“Riverdale,” “NCIS”) and Paul Greene (“When Calls the Heart,” “Bitten”) star in “Christmas CEO” a new, original movie premiering Friday, November 26 (6:00 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel, as part of the network’s annual “Countdown to Christmas” programming event – your home for the holiday.
About The Movie:
Christmas ‘Chris’ Whitaker (Nichols) always believed she was destined to spread Christmas joy through her love of toy making. When Chris was 10 years old, instead of a lemonade stand she sold homemade toys at her neighborhood Christmas stand, always with her best friend, Joe Sullivan (Greene). Chris and Joe fulfilled their dream of running a toy company together, forming CJ Toys while in college. As their company grew, Chris began to lose sight of why she loved toymaking in the first place and focused on profit margins instead of making quality toys. Disheartened by the new direction of the company, Joe stepped back from the business rather than sacrifice the craft of quality toymaking. But when Chris gets a once-in-a-lifetime offer to merge with a mega toy company and become its CEO, she needs her estranged, ex-business partner Joe’s signature to seal the deal. While Chris tries to get Joe to sign the papers, what Joe helps Chris rediscover just might change both their lives.
“Christmas CEO” is from Muse Entertainment. Jesse Prupas and Jonas Prupas are executive producers. Oneida Crawford is associate producers, while Shane Boucher is producer. Jonathan Wright directed from a script by Anna White.
