It's 1950, and the Hollywood studios are crashing, as well as film noir actress Margo Grant's marriage. When a gossip columnist reveals her director-husband's new love interest, she heads to Reno in a bluff, hoping to win him back. Instead, she takes a sentimental journey back to the self she has been running from for years.

Red Velvet and Mistletoe is a delightfully eclectic collection of eleven contemporary Christmas Stories, each capturing in its own way the elusive spirit of Christmas. Filled with laughter and tears, and warm feelings of love, you will quickly find your own Christmas Spirit in these stories of people whose lives are not too different from your own. In "Never Been to Memphis" you will meet the hilarious family of wealthy matriarch Evelyn Wallace as they gather for Christmas Eve at her stately home on Edgehill Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. This family has more than a few secrets, and they all come tumbling out on this, the most special night of the year. "A Promise to Jake" is a richly woven tale of a modern day Scrooge whose hedonistic lifestyle catches up with him when a friend from childhood sends a jolting memory from the past. "The Gift" is a magical story of redemption told through the eyes of a reluctant psychic working in the New Orleans Museum of Art as an assistant curator. This exhibition of "Angels through the Ages" includes one angel with a mysterious past that reaches out to the young woman, changing her life forever. "The Hare's Path" is the romantic story of a love and a faith that transcends death, and in "The Wal-Mart Santa", a materialistic widow rediscovers her heart and is rewarded with a second chance at happiness. "A Good Thing" introduces us to an independent woman with a history of bad relationships who gets a surprising gift from a down on his luck Santa. In "The Face Painter" a lonely man finds peace and redemption in the life of a scared little boy. In the "Christmas Cactus" we meet a charming old woman who is anxious to join her husband in heaven - but not just yet. "Evenings at the Symphony" shows us another side of the glittering fundraisers and evenings with Beethoven and Bach under crystal chandeliers. In "The Ascension of Harland McGregor", an angel visits a crooked politician, who's reluctant transformation touches the hearts of millions, and changes the destiny of his country forever. "A History of My Life" is a nostalgic look back by a young mother at a path not taken. Spend a few hours with these unforgettable characters in these new Christmas Classics and remember once again how Christmas changes us all somehow, if only just a little, every year.
