The Christmas Hope is a 2009 television film directed by Norma Bailey and starring Madeleine Stowe. It first aired on December 13, 2009 on Lifetime. It is the third part in a trilogy, preceded by The Christmas Shoes (2002) and The Christmas Blessing (2005).[1]

Plot

After the recent loss of her son Sean—a minor character in The Christmas Blessing—Patty Addison (Madeleine Stowe) devotes herself to finding homes for needy children. The loss of Sean has strained Patty's relationship with her husband Mark, an airline pilot. But they reconnect emotionally when they take in Emily, a 9-year-old orphaned in a car accident similar to the one that killed Sean.

At the same time Dr. Nathan Andrews—the one character that connects the entire film trilogy—is trying to find the parents of a boy who died in the ER, and Mark is trying to help one of his son's friends. By the end of the film, all three stories are intertwined as they all look for Emily, who has run away.
