We’re a few weeks out from Christmas, and Hallmark Channel still has a slew of new holiday movies still to air. “Homegrown Christmas,” starring Lori Loughlin and Victor Webster, is one of them and premieres Saturday night.

The “When Calls the Heart” actress also has a holiday special for her Hallmark drama airing on Christmas Day, and Webster could last be seen on the network in the 2017 flick, “A Harvest Wedding.” The “Homegrown Christmas” cast also includes Gwynyth Walsh (Maddie’s mom, Peg), Kate Isaac (Maddie’s sister, Hallie) and Isabella Giannulli (Carter’s niece, Ava).

“Shoe designer, Maddie (Loughlin) sells her company and comes home for Christmas to ‘navigate the in-between with family,’” the synopsis begins. “Unsure of the reception she’ll get from her former beau Carter (Webster) or her sister, Maddie is ready to discuss the past but Carter and her sister aren’t ready, and both are busy with work and turning the barn into Santa’s workshop for the holiday dance.”

The synopsis continues: “Wanting to help, Maddie works with Carter on the barn, and the two can’t help but reminisce. Deeply in love, they broke up when she moved to New York to be the next Coco Chanel and he stayed behind, but now the two can’t deny they still have feelings for one another. Hoping to reconnect with her sister while falling for Carter all over again, Maddie decides to stay in her hometown.”

But just as soon as she makes that decision, a new opportunity comes knocking. A famous pop star asks Maddie to start a new shoe line with her in New York, and the designer must make a choice between her new hometown life or her life back in New York.

“Homegrown Christmas” premieres on Hallmark Channel on Saturday at 8 p.m. EST.
