Five More Minutes: Moments Like These cast list: Ashley Williams, Lucas Bryant, and others to star in HMM movie

Hallmark Movies and Mysteries’ (HMM) last 2022 X-Mas offering, Five More Minutes: Moments Like These, is set to premiere on Saturday, December 17, at 10:00 pm ET. Directed by Kevin Fair, the holiday special was written by Kelly Fullerton.

It is the second Christmas story to be inspired by country singer Scotty McCreery’s hit track Five More Minutes. The first was last year’s Five More Minutes (also a Hallmark production), which McCreery had executive produced.

As per the channel, the storyline for Five More Minutes: Moments Like These reads:

"A Christmas wish gets realized in an unexpected way, as a young widow has to return to her old home for the holidays."

Starring Ashley Williams and Lucas Bryant, the upcoming Christmas romantic comedy will be about Kaitlyn, a widow who moves back to her late husband’s home in Colorado with her son Adam.

There, she meets Matthew, a local contractor and old friend of her husband’s, who forwards her a real estate developer’s proposal to purchase their house. The duo’s interactions increase and sparks fly as time passes. Adam, on the other hand, gets involved in local Christmas festivities and a fundraising idea, delighting Kaitlyn.

With a storyline like this, it’s expected Five More Minutes: Moments Like These will tug at viewers' heartstrings.
