It’s Christmas Eve, and we’ve reached the final Hallmark Christmas movie of the year. We’re closing out the season with The Christmas Baby.

A couple receives a baby boy before Christmas with a note meant for them. While temporarily caring for him during the holiday rush, they navigate their relationship, careers, and the foster-to-adopt process.

• Katherine Barrell as Kelly
• Ali Liebert as Erin

Erin is awakened early by the sound of her wife, Kelly, working on Christmas decorations in the living room. Kelly is designing elaborate Christmas set pieces for the theater, and she’s so consumed by the project that they haven’t even decorated their own house yet.

That night, Kelly is set to receive an award at a theater ceremony. Erin is running late because she’s finishing up at work. While getting changed at home, she hears someone enter the house. When she goes to check, she doesn’t find a person — just a baby.

Erin tries to track down the baby’s parent, but no one is around. In the stroller, she finds a note addressed to Erin and Kelly, asking them to take care of a baby named Nicolas. The note says they’re sorry and that they tried.

Unsure what to do, Erin brings Nicolas with her to the event, arriving just in time to see Kelly win her award. Afterward, Kelly insists they call the authorities, which they do. Betty from DSS arrives to take Nicolas into care, but Erin immediately feels uneasy. The note clearly suggests the birth mother wanted Nicolas to be with them. Erin and Kelly talk to Betty, and Nicolas ends up going home with them.

The next day, their theater friends come over and help brainstorm who Nicolas’s parent might be. Soon after, both of their mothers arrive — uninvited — to “help.” The moms raise concerns about how Erin and Kelly’s lives aren’t exactly set up for a baby.

Erin and Kelly try to adjust, but it’s overwhelming. Kelly starts to doubt they should keep Nicolas and calls Betty to ask about another placement, despite Erin’s reluctance. They argue, then make up the next morning, but Erin is still struggling. Kelly points out that kids aren’t practical — and reminds Erin that before they got married, Erin said she didn’t want children. Erin admits that Nicolas has awakened something in her she didn’t know was there.

The next day at work, Kelly mistakenly believes she’s being asked whether she wants to adopt Nicolas — and she says yes. In that moment, she realizes her fear has been keeping her from what she truly wants. The couple gets Nicolas back and begins preparing their home for the official home study.

On Christmas Eve, they learn that the birth mother has contacted Betty and wants to meet them. When Erin and Kelly arrive, they’re shocked to discover it’s the barista from the coffee shop they visit every week. She shares her story and formally asks Erin and Kelly to be Nicolas’s parents.

They say yes.

The movie ends with Erin and Kelly celebrating Christmas with their family — and their new baby boy.

Brian is back to help us officially wrap up the holiday season with the newest Hallmark Christmas movie, A Make or Break Holiday.

A couple hosting Christmas decides to fake their relationship for their families after choosing to separate. Working together for the perfect holiday helps them remember why they fell in love.

December 20 2025 | Hallmark Channel

• Hunter King as Liv
• Evan Roderick as Daniel

The movie kicks off like a Nutella commercial. Liv is throwing a Christmas party when a guy named Daniel crashes into her, sending eggnog everywhere. Instead of being mad, they hit it off immediately and end the night kissing under a Christmas wreath.

From there, they start dating, fall in love, and eventually buy a house together. Cut to the following Christmas: they’re hosting both of their families in the new house. But it quickly becomes clear that things in Loveland are not as perfect as they seem. Liv is extremely stressed, while Daniel’s solution is basically, “You should just put all that stress in a box somewhere.” Shockingly, this does not help.

The tension boils over into an argument, and they decide to take a break. The problem? Neither of them can bring themselves to tell their parents. So they agree to pretend everything is fine for the holidays.

Once the families arrive, chaos ensues. Liv’s dad is aggressively committed to traditions she hates — including an absolutely unhinged candy game. Daniel’s sister immediately clocks that something is wrong and confronts him. He comes clean to her, just as Liv confides in her brother. Both siblings agree to keep the secret… for now.

As they stumble through Christmas together, there are moments where Liv and Daniel remember how much they still love each other — followed by moments that push them even further apart. Their families don’t help. Everyone has opinions about everything, and it’s exhausting.

Things finally come to a head when Liv finds the engagement ring Daniel had planned to use.

At last, they come clean to the entire family. Realizing they haven’t been giving each other what they actually need, Liv and Daniel choose to recommit to one another. They make up, kiss, and Daniel officially proposes.

And, in the true spirit of Christmas miracles, a Gobler Farms turkey is delivered on Christmas morning.
