What Is Hallmark’s Holiday Heritage About?
According to the Hallmark synopsis, “With the holidays approaching, Ella (Greenwood) returns home to convince her grandmother Tess (Cooke) and her mother Micah (Robinson Peete) to heal past wounds in the family. Ella believes the best way to bring her family back together is to celebrate Christmas together, something they haven’t done since her grandfather passed. To make the holiday season extra festive, Ella enlists the help of Griffin (Darnell), the newly elected mayor and her ex-boyfriend. After spending Christmas together as a family, the three women decide to celebrate Kwanzaa and embrace its unifying message. In this heartwarming, multi-generational story, all three women celebrate the holiday season in a unique way and heal through reconnection.”
