After a theater debut Christmas of 2025, the Karen Kingsbury adaptation The Christmas Ring will also air November 7 on Great American Family. From Great American Family, the information on this one reads (in part), as follows, “Based on Karen Kingsbury’s 2025 book by the same name, in The Christmas Ring, military widow Vanessa Mayfield (Kramer) has spent years searching for her family’s treasured Christmas ring, a gold-and-ruby heirloom discovered by her great-grandfather in Normandy on D-Day and passed down through generations before Vanessa lost it. Her search leads her to Ben Miller (Hollingsworth), a widowed antiques dealer who understands her loss, and a friendship between them gradually becomes an unexpected second chance at love.”
