Love is born on a Holiday Hotline on Hallmark Channel

According to the official synopsis, Abby Mitchell (Tennant) has always had a passion for cooking and helping others. This holiday season Abby’s career prospects fizzle and she temporarily moves to Chicago from London, England, where she takes a job with Holiday Hotline. The helpline is dedicated to helping struggling cooks make perfect Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys.
When Abby first starts at the hotline, she realizes her British accent might not relate to callers. She creates a character, Peggy, an American version of herself, to handle her many calls. One of her first callers is “John” (Matter), a widower trying to prepare a big holiday meal at home to make his young daughter happy.

Shortly after the call, Abby meets Jack (AKA John) in the real world. Neither recognizes the other, so she sees no problem with seeing him more often. However, as “John” keeps calling “Peggy”, they develop a connection over the phone.

Meanwhile, Abby is drawn into Jack’s family and starts to feel guilty as “Peggy” is also making a connection with a stranger. This makes her feel like she is dating two people. However, when she finds out that her two love connections are the same person, she feels conflicted.
As Christmas draws near, Abby’s two identities come to light. Will Jack think she has been lying to him, and, most importantly, does he have feelings for the “real” her?
