What Is Hallmark’s When I Think Of Christmas About?

According to the Hallmark synopsis, Sara Thompson (Grimes-Beech) is back in her hometown over the holidays. Sara has returned to help her mom Anna (Broderick) downsize. She is moving from the family home to a new condo.

While in town, Sara runs into her ex-boyfriend, Josh Hartman (Matter). He is back home from Nashville and is producing the annual Christmas concert. Meeting up with him was unexpected and uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, Sara and Josh had musical dreams. However, she moved away to study law instead. They stopped all contact without any sort of explanation.

Realizing she can help heal the former pair, Anna tells Sara to help Josh with auditions. She suggests Sara play piano for those who are auditioning to be part of the annual Christmas concert.

Eventually, being together, in a musical setting, heals their wounds. Sparks fly as the two open up to each other.

While cleaning out the house, Sara makes a discovery. She finds a song that her late father wrote. Sara takes the music and lyrics to Josh with the hope to play this special song at the Christmas concert.

Will this song bring them back to their musical roots? Could this be the best Christmas ever?

  1. The music!!! I want to know the name of the song Beth Broderick sings in th end of the movie. It is the most beautiful Christmas song I have heard in years.
    I can’t find it anywhere and I have looked for hours, not to mention different times.

    Please list the song: When I think of Christmas. It isn’t anything I find on any searches.
    Thank you.
