Kristin Davis, Eric McCormack and Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine will headline Hallmark Hall of Fame original movie Christmas Angel in Training.
Davis (Sex and the City) stars as Eve Morgan, a workaholic who, upon her untimely death, finds herself tethered to her guardian angel (MacLaine) and learning to become a Christmas angel in heaven. Despite being the worst recruit in the history of Christmas, Eve is assigned the difficult task of helping struggling singer Max (McCormack, Will & Grace) use his musical gifts to heal old family wounds. As Max begins to overcome his issues, Eve begins to embrace the meaning of Christmas, heal wounds of her own and perhaps find love along the way.
Jack Grossbart and Linda Kent executive produce Christmas Angel in Training. Harvey Kahn is producer. Paul Shapiro directs from the original teleplay written by Gregg McBride and Tippi & Neal Dobrofsky. Angelic Productions is the production company on behalf of Crown Media Productions.
