With the sweltering summer temps melting pretty much everything, what better way to cool things down a bit than a wintry Christmas movie? Take Me Back for Christmas is Hallmark Channel's second new original movie premiere during their Christmas in July programming event and we have all the details—including a fun first look!
Here's everything we know about Take Me Back for Christmas.
What is Take Me Back for Christmas about?
Renée (Vanessa Lengies) always dreamed of starting her own business but when her mom got sick, she and her husband Aaron (Corey Sevier) moved back to the suburbs to care for her and were forced to put their dreams on hold. Now a decade later, she is officially stuck in a rut with mounting bills and a dead-end job putting pressure on her normally happy marriage.

After a particularly disheartening day working at a local gift shop, an elf running the Santa display offers to grant Renée a Christmas wish. Although skeptical, her exasperation gets the best of her, and she wishes for a different life…only to wake up in a New York City high rise as CEO of one of the most successful meal kit delivery companies in the world. To top it all off, her mom is still alive.
It looks like her wish came true and her new reality is seemingly perfect, except for one thing—she is no longer married to Aaron. In a desperate attempt to win him back, Renée hires Aaron, now a successful chef, to develop a Christmas dinner meal kit benefiting local food banks. With her new plan in place, she and Aaron begin to fall in love all over again, bringing her one step closer to “having it all.”
But as complications arise in this new reality and the clock ticks closer to Christmas Eve, Renée is forced to ask herself if going back is the key to moving forward in life and love.
