Hallmark Channels – Open By Christmas on the Hallmark Channel

Hallmark’s synopsis tells us that while helping her parents move Nicky (Alison Sweeney) discovers a card that was given to her in high school that she had opened before. The card was written by a secret admirer who tells her his true feelings. The card peaks Nicky’s interest and with the help of her lifelong best friend, Simone (Erica Durance) she heads on a quest to discover and thank the anonymous author.

As for Simone, she is a single working mother who feels she is losing touch with her teenage son. This is especially so, as she plans to remarry and begin a new chapter in her life. Simone turns to Nicky, who helps her understand that she is holding on too tight in the fear of her son growing up, while everything is changing.

This leads to two good friends helping each other find answers to the past and the present, through a special bond that makes them feel like sisters.
