It premiered on the Hallmark Channel in 2003. The film is an adaptation of the Charles Dickens story of a similar name. Plot{{More plot|date=December 2018}}Carol Cartman (Tori Spelling) is a conceited sensationalist talk show host. She is cynical, selfish, and generally treats her employees with cold contempt. She has been coached by her late Aunt Marla (Dinah Manoff) to behave this way. On Christmas Eve hours before her talk show, she is haunted by her Aunt Maria (who is wrapped in golden chains) who warns her of the mistake she made and the terrible fate awaiting her if she doesn't change where she also mentions that she will be visited by three spirits. The Ghost of Christmas Past (Gary Coleman) shows Carol an incident from her childhood where Aunt Marla fought for her to get the lead role in a Christmas play over another little girl who deserved the part, drove away her love interest, John, who was going to ask her to marry him, and pushed to advance Carol's career in order to bolster herself financially. Carol and the ghost's last stop is Aunt Marla's sparsely-attended funeral. The Ghost of Christmas Present (William Shatner) takes Carol to see how her sister Beth and her assistant Roberta spend this Christmas. Beth reads A Christmas Carol to her children. Roberta's festivities are disrupted by a knock on the door. It's Roberta's ex-husband and Lily's father. He addresses Roberta bitterly, announcing he intends to take Roberta to court for custody of Lily, and presents her with a document stating same. The Ghost of Christmas Future (James Cromwell, uncredited) is a Limo driver Who takes Carol on a tour, showing her what is apparently to happen next Christmas. Carol's career bottoms out and she's reduced to making low-level community appearances. Roberta goes to see Lily, now in her father's care. Lily is very upset and lashes out at her mother, who apparently is never able to visit. Finally, Carol watches herself die, and learns that her funeral will have even fewer attendees than that of her Aunt Marla. From her coffin, Carol pleads for another chance at life. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shakes his head and closes it, but Carol wakes up the next morning. Carol becomes a warm, caring person, and vows to make amends. She goes on to her television show and makes a touching speech to her audience about the importance of Christmas and giving. At the very end, the three Christmas Spirits reappear outside Beth's house, where Carol decided to go after all for the holidays, and comment on their work at transforming Carol Cartman. They watch and listen as Beth's son recites the last line of A Christmas Carol: " God bless us, every one!" Cast
