About this item

Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) plays George McCray, Linda Emond (Julie & Julia) plays his wife Mary Ann, and Noel Fisher (The Riches) plays their son Todd in the 237th Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, A Dog Named Christmas. Based on Greg Kincaid's novel, the special premieres on CBS Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009, 9-11 p.m. ET/PT. The McCray family is anticipating a happy - if uneventful - Christmas on their Kansas farm, when an unexpected visitor enters their family. Todd - the McCray's 20-year-old developmentally-challenged son - hears that the local animal shelter is looking for families to foster a pet for the holidays, hoping that some will be permanently adopted. Todd's father, George, is firmly opposed to bringing a dog into the McCray household, either temporarily or permanently.
