Much Ado About Christmas is yet another holiday season special movie that releases this weekend. As Christmas nears, GAC Family begins its Great American Christmas celebration by releasing 12 Christmas movies every week.

Much Ado About Christmas is the first movie to premiere, and it is all about the holiday spirit and Christmas miracle. According to the romance drama’s official synopsis, it deals with Haley Lloyd, the daughter of the town’s wealthiest resident.

Her kindness, which includes managing The Hope Chest and directing the children’s choir, makes Claud fall in love with her. But he doesn’t know Haley’s background.

Will the artsy, romantic guy leave Haley for lying? Only time will tell.

The synopsis of Much Ado About Christmas further reads:

“Haley introduces herself to Claud as ‘Haley Logan’, raised by a single, struggling mom, a small fib that becomes a complication when Claud and his team present an ad pitch to Leona that includes a photo of Claud’s new girlfriend…Haley! Secrets are revealed, and relationships ruffled, but Christmas is coming, and miracles do happen.”
