Hallmark Channel News: ‘Holly & Ivy’ Is An Emotional Foster Care Christmas Story – Details HERE

Hallmark Channel news reveals that “Holly & Ivy” is a different kind of Christmas movie. This one centers on a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming and is set in Provo, Utah. It focuses on two girls whose mother has lymphoma. Unable to care for them, they are going into the system. That is when a neighbor steps up and does what she can to get her home approved by the state.

Plot Summary Of ‘Holly & Ivy’

Melody (Janel Parrish) moves into a house that needs some fixing up. She becomes friends with her neighbor, Nina (Marisol Nichols). However, Nina finds out that her lymphoma has returned. She doesn’t want her two daughters to see her go through treatment again. Plus, she can’t care for them in her current condition. Melody would like to take care of Holly (Sadia Coleman) and Ivy (Piper Rubio), especially since she grew up in the system. However, the state will not let her be a foster parent to the girls until she has a bedroom all fixed up and ready to go.

This is when a Christmas miracle comes along. The neighbors start helping out, along with a handsome contractor named Adam (Jeremy Jordan). With everyone pitching in, she just might be able to care for the girls and prevent them from going to strangers in the foster care system.
