Last holiday season was quite the fรชte for “One Tree Hill” fans when several former cast members of the long-running drama appeared in four festive movies on Lifetime, and Chad Michael Murray, who starred in the series made his Hallmark Channel Christmas movie debut in “Road to Christmas”!
Well, now it’s just the gift that keeps on giving because we’re getting another mini reunion this year during the 10th anniversary of Hallmark’s holiday programming event, Countdown to Christmas.
Murray will join forces with former OTH co-stars Torrey DeVitto (“Best Christmas Party Ever”) and Drew Seeley (“A Christmas for the Books”) for a new movie, “Five Cards for Christmas” (w/t).
— Updated 07/14/2019: This movie has officially been named “Write Before Christmas”! —
The movie plot, which reminds me of “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”, centers around a recently single Jessica (DeVitto) who sends Christmas cards to people that have impacted her life โ the aunt who raised her, her younger brother in the military, a popstar (Seeley) that was part of the soundtrack of her life, the music teacher that inspired her, and the best friend who always tells the truth.
Jessica, who owns a music store and is a musician herself, especially connects with Luke (Murray) — the son of her former music teacher. When Luke is the recipient of the card, due to his mother being out of the country, the spirit of the season brings the two together.
Fun Fact: Murray played the character of Lucas Scott on OTH, so viewers should be use to him being referred to as ‘Luke’ by now!
Grant Show (“Melrose Place”) and Lolita Davidovich (“Once Upon a Christmas Miracle”) also star.
