The Holiday Stocking on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries

The latest in the Mahogany movies on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is The Holiday Stocking, a tale of reuniting a family in the holidays. Moreover, the story is about encouraging good deeds at Christmas and features in the network’s Miracles of Christmas programming event

According to the official synopsis, a newly trained angel, Robert Holiday (Mykelti Williamson) is on the verge of ascending. However, he has one regret – that he never repaired the relationship between his two sisters, Dani (Nadine Ellis) and Marlow (Tamala Jones), who grew apart following the death of their mother.

Robert is given 12 days to return to earth and mend his family, where he appears as RJ (BJ Britt), an executive assistant representing Robert’s estate. In order to get his sisters to reconnect, he sets about recreating the one tradition that worked when they were kids – The Holiday Stocking game. In the weeks running up to the holidays, their parents used to make the siblings play the game. In it, they would search for the stocking and try to guess a riddle hidden inside. Whoever correctly guessed the riddle got to choose a good deed for the family to do together. While at first, the siblings were reluctant to volunteer, the games formed part of their happiest times together as a family.

Dani now owns a successful advertising agency and to be able to secure an important new investor, she is tasked with showing her philanthropy and community relations efforts. While initially, Dani tries to take the easy way out of volunteering, she soon meets Wilson (Karon Riley), the owner of a foundation she volunteers with. Meanwhile, she finds herself enjoying the work and Wilson’s company.

As for Marlow, who took over running their late mother’s bakery, she now has a daughter of her own, teenager Gia (Sariah Gerald). However, Marlow agrees to play the Holiday Stocking game, in hopes of teaching Gia the importance of giving back.

As Dani and Marlow volunteer together again, the ice starts to thaw, and it is clear their sisterly bond is still there. However, as Christmas approaches, old misunderstandings resurface, leading RJ to worry that his family will once again fall apart before he moves on forever.
