Check out photos from the original Hallmark Channel Christmas movie "Open by Christmas,” starring Alison Sweeney, Erica Durance, Brennan Elliott and Michael Karl Richards.
When Nick, a career-focused investment banker, is fired from his high-powered firm at Christmastime, he takes a job at a Christmas tree lot owned by a warmhearted widower. There, he meets Julie, an astronomy teacher who’s always looked to the stars for hope. As the Christmas spirit washes over him — and he begins falling for Julie — the once self-centered Nick discovers the joy of helping others. Starring Jesse Metcalfe, Autumn Reeser and Clarke Peters.
