Maggie's Christmas Miracle is a Christmas film originally broadcast on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel in 2017. The film is based on the book Maggie's Miracle (the second of her Red Gloves series) by Karen Kingsbury. PlotThe Christmas season of 1997 was both the best and worst experience of Maggie's life. As a 13-year-old, while vacationing with her family at the "Lake Tahoe Lodge", Maggie meets Kade, who believes in Christmas miracles, experiencing teenage love for the first time. However, during their vacation Maggie's father abandons the family, leaving her mother devastated. 20 years later Maggie is divorced with a young son, Jordan. His father dies, also around Christmas time, leaving Maggie to not believe in Christmas miracles. Moreover, she becomes a workaholic and extremely overprotective of Jordan, not wanting him to be hurt like she and her mother were. Jordan begins failing at school; Maggie is convinced to hire Casey Cummings, owner of a local diner/gift shop who also volunteers as a math tutor through a local charity, to help him. Casey (a widower himself, his wife died from cancer) and Jordan hit it off immediately; Jordan's grades dramatically improve. Jordan wishes that Casey could be his dad; he sees a glass etching of a stick figure family while visiting Casey's diner. He also writes a letter to God asking if a man can be a father if he has no children of his own. Casey also begins to fall in love with Maggie. But Maggie rejects his advances, sharing with him the stories of Lake Tahoe and the death of Jordan's father at Christmastime. On Christmas Eve Maggie, her mother, and Jordan unwrap presents. Jordan receives from Casey the glass etching; Maggie receives a snow globe from Casey (an avid collector) with a nameplate reading "MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE LAKE TAHOE LODGE". Later Casey leaves Jordan's letter at their doorstep; Maggie reads it and rushes to Casey's house. Casey has one last present for Maggie: a pair of red gloves and a picture of a teenage Maggie and a teenage Kade in a photo booth. Casey was, in fact, Kade (he never changed his name but people began to call him Casey and it stuck); he did not realize his prior connection until Maggie shared her experience at Lake Tahoe. The two (with the help of Billy, the diner's owner) get the last Christmas tree in town and set it up for Jordan. Cast
