HALLMARK CHANNEL A COOKIE CUTTER CHRISTMAS

Elementary school teacher Christie is embracing the holiday spirit: she has entered the Christmas Bake Off, and feels determined to win the grand prize of a trip for her class. But when her childhood rival, Penny, joins the contest, the heat is really on...especially when the handsome, widowed father of one of Christie's students becomes part of the festivities. Alan Thicke (TV'S "How I Met Your Mother") stars in this charming story of romance, friendship and the true meaning of the season.
