HOME BY CHRISTMAS Julia Bedford (Linda Hamilton, The Terminator) is a dedicated homemaker living in a modestly affluent neighborhood with her successful husband and sixteen-year-old daughter. When she and her husband divorce she has a hard time making ends meet for her and her daughter to the point where they end up homeless. Ultimately, she meets a woman who helps her gain her self respect and a new home for the holidays. HOLIDAY SWITCH A week before Christmas, Paula (Nicole Eggert, Baywatch) finds herself struggling with bills and life with her blue-collar husband Gary (Bret Anthony, The Capture of the Green River Killer) and her two daughters. When Nick, her wealthy high school boyfriend returns to town, Paula wonders if she took the wrong date to the prom. What would her life have been like if she stayed with Nick? When Paula wishes she could see what her life would have been like if she'd made the other choice, she finds herself magically transported through her washer/dryer to a parallel life where she is Nick's wife. At first, this new life seems the answer to her dreams, but she soon realizes that the grass is not always greener. When she sees Gary and her kids living a happy life, she wishes for just one Christmas gift: to have back the life she didn't appreciate.
