Thomas Kinkade's Home for Christmas, also known as The Christmas Cottage, is a Michael Campus film released on November 11, 2008 on DVD. It tells the story of the inspiration behind Thomas Kinkade's painting The Christmas Cottage, and how the artist was motivated to begin his career after discovering his mother was in danger of losing their family home.
The film's theatrical release date had been pushed back for a full year. It was originally scheduled for a December 2007 release, but final edits and music rights delayed the opening. While most movies suffering a delayed release would have no trouble opening a month, two, three or four after the original release date, Thomas Kinkade's Home for Christmas, being a Christmas holiday season film, had to wait an entire year.
