THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – BUTTONS: A CHRISTMAS TALE (2018)

 

Guardian angel Rose (Angela Lansbury) goes to visit an orphan named Emily (Noelle E. Parker) who is sick in the hospital and tells her a story about another guardian angel (Dick Van Dyke).

Who has appeared to Annabelle Kingsley (Alivia Clark), aka Buttons, from time to time following her loving parents’ prayer to God to watch over her when she had scarlet fever as an infant.

When Annabelle is 10, she and her mother learn that her father William Kingsley (Ioan Gruffudd), a ship captain, has been lost at sea, then her newly-impoverished mother Sarah (Julia Burrows) is forced to work in a textile mill and the harsh conditions lead to her death.
