What Is Hallmark Mahogany’s The Holiday Stocking About?
According to the Hallmark Mahogany synopsis, Robert Holiday (Williamson), is a newly trained angel. He is “on the verge of ascending.”
However, he has one regret. He had two sisters, Dani (Ellis) and Marlow (Jones) who grew apart after their mother died. Robert regrets he did not find a way to bring the family together. But, he has one last Christmas to make it right.
Robert has 12 days to fix things. But, he is not coming back as himself. Instead, he returns as RJ (Britt). RJ is an executive assistant in charge of Robert’s estate.
“To get his sisters to reconnect, he sets about recreating the one tradition that worked when they were kids – The Holiday Stocking game.”
“In the weeks leading up to Christmas, their parents used to make the siblings play the game, in which they would search for the stocking and try to guess a riddle inside. Whoever correctly guessed the riddle got to choose a good deed for the family to do together. Though the siblings were reluctant to volunteer, those were some of their happiest times together as a family.”
Thankfully, getting his sisters to volunteer could be easy. First, Dani, who owns a successful advertising agency, is interested in philanthropic ventures to win a new investor.
Next, Marlow, wants her teenage daughter Gia (Gerald) to learn to give back as well.
“As Dani and Marlow volunteer together again, the ice begins to thaw and it seems that their sisterly bond is still there. As Christmas approaches, however, old misunderstandings resurface and RJ worries that his family will once again fall apart before he must move on forever.”
