Christmas Pie is not as the name might suggest a Christmas delicacy but is in fact an entertainment originating from the tradition of the mummers play’s and is performed in the church.
It has evolved over many years and now includes
poetry and prose, religious readings, short sketches and seasonal music to
become very much like the Christingle services.
My worst Christmas present ever
Without
a doubt, I have concluded
Was
when I received a box of batteries
Labelled
“toys not included”
Haley Hanson (Lily Anne Harrison) is a workaholic advertising executive who is keen to land a traditional toy company as a new client, and get a big promotion into the bargain, but when her boss points out that she specializes in social media and all things hip and would not understand the needs of such an old-fashioned business, she reluctantly agrees to attend a Christmas Boot Camp.
The Camp is run by recently widowed Ben (John
James) but it’s his son Jeff (Bobby Campo) who contributes most to helping her
to remember what makes the holidays so special and restore her Christmas cheer.
Farmer and amateur astronomer Johann George Palitzsch was the first to sight
Halley's Comet on its first predicted return.

Wood and Greenfield Copse.
Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the caravan
Not a creature was stirring
Which wasn’t the plan
But the camp site was flooded
So that was the reason
And would be out of action
For the festive season
Blanca Snow (Michelle Randolph) is asked to spend Christmas with her dastardly stepmother, Victoria (Carolyn Hennesy), and she agrees in an attempt to fulfil her late father's wishes and create new memories as a family.
However, Victoria plots to edge Blanca out of
her father's inheritance and keep the money, his business and his mansion, for
herself.
Her first step is to renovate the house, so
she hires a talented designer, Lucas Prince (Colt Prattes), to do the
design as Victoria has designs on him, but when he arrives at the house he
instantly falls in love with Blanca, and Victoria is jealous and outraged.
So with the help and assistance of Zane (Rich Barnes), Victoria
has her stepdaughter hypnotised so that she forgets everyone she knew and everything
about her father's will.
When Blanca wakes up in a quaint motor lodge
out of town with severe amnesia, she receives the help of seven quirky friends,
the Holly Jollies, to help her figure out her life.
While attempting to regain her memory, she finds
herself the object of affection to both house painter Hunter (Liam McNeill), and Lucas
Prince.
But who can she trust? And will she finally
remember her past, and stop Victoria from stealing everything her father left
for her?
