The Christmas Spirit is a 2013 American made-for-television Christmas-themed romantic comedy film starring Nicollette Sheridan and Bart Johnson.

The film premiered on Hallmark Channel on December 1, 2013.

Cast

Production

The Christmas Spirit is based on an idea from Nicollette Sheridan, who executive-produced and starred in the film. Written and directed by Jack Angelo, the plot is similar to It's a Wonderful Life but set in the present day. The film is one of four holiday-themed movies produced for Hallmark Channel in 2013 by Brad Krevoy Television, who serves as an executive producer on all four movies along with Eric Jarboe, Francisco Gonzalez, and Alexandre Coscas. Sheridan's character, Charlotte Hart, was meant to recur in a series of future franchise movies for Hallmark.

Filming took place in Lebanon, Ohio, due to the tax incentives. The production employed about 90 local residents, including Sonya Staffan, the owner of a downtown shop called Jam and Jelly Lady, who was cast to play the owner of her own store. Staffan landed the role over three other actresses who auditioned for the part.

Release

On December 1, 2013, The Christmas Spirit premiered on Hallmark Channel and was watched by 3.37 million viewers.

Reception

Since 2018, The Christmas Spirit has placed in the "20 festive Hallmark Christmas movies" by Entertainment Weekly.
