Under the Christmas Sky on Hallmark Channel

According to the official synopsis, sparks fly when an unfortunate accident brings two people together. They must then overcome their differences to create a magical Christmas exhibit.

Kat Butler (Kennedy) was formerly an astronaut until a car accident left her with a blind spot, halting her promising career. However, with Christmas being her favorite holiday, her parents and her brother, Andy (Andrew Bushell) try to lift her spirits. They filled her time with tree decorating, holiday shopping and cookie making, but Kat is still missing her spark.

However, when Andy finds out about an exhibit at the local planetarium, he immediately thinks of his sister, and with a bit of nudging, she agrees to consult. Meanwhile, she gets paired up with curator David Robinson (Paevey), who isn’t impressed to have outside “help.”

However, when tasked with incorporating community involvement and Christmas into their planning, their different approaches and personalities cause them to clash. Eventually, Kat and David do find some common ground amid the magic of the holidays and their shared love of space. This leads to their holiday exhibit opening as a resounding success.

While riding the wave of their big win, and not wanting to part ways just yet, Kat and David are inspired to create an additional event, a Santa tracking party on Christmas Eve.

As their time working together comes to a close, Kat is presented with a job opportunity and a fresh start out of state. However, their new connection and growing feelings for each other are put to the test as they try to decide just what the future could hold for them. Meanwhile, a little Christmas spirit could help these two find their way to happiness on Christmas Day.
