Hallmark announced an upcoming holiday movie, “Christmas in My Heart,“ that is set to premiere during the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries “Miracles of Christmas” event later this year! The all-new original movie will be lead by Heather Hemmens (“Love, Take Two”), Luke Macfarlane (“A Shoe Addict’s Christmas,” “Chateau Christmas,” “Sense, Sensibility and Snowmen,” “Christmas Land”) and Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Christmas Comes Twice”).

In this new Christmas tale, with Christmas fast approaching, concert violinist Beth (Hemmens) returns to her hometown after the recent passing of her mother, the elementary school’s beloved music department head. She crosses paths with Katie (Maria Nash, “Elinor Wonders Why”), a young, promising violinist and daughter of country music star Sean Grant (Macfarlane), who’s been living a quiet life there since his wife’s passing. Sean’s mother-in-law Ruthie (Ralph) wants him to move on with his life, but he’s still coming to terms with his loss and hasn’t been inspired to create new music. Eager to sharpen her skills for the town’s upcoming recital dedicated to Beth’s mother, Katie finds a creative way to get Sean to hire Beth as her tutor, despite his skepticism about the value of formal music instruction.
