Hallmark Channel’s The Nine Lives of Christmas: Synopsis, cast, trailer
It’s no secret that Hallmark Channel Christmas movies are incredibly sweet, lighthearted and fun. But when you take Brandon Routh and Kimberley Sustad and add two feline cast members, well, it’s cuteness overload. That’s what happens in the classic Hallmark Channel movie The Nine Lives of Christmas.
The 2014 movie became an instant fan favorite and it’s still on many top Christmas movie lists as a result. After all, there’s nothing better than the holidays, firemen and cats.
Synopsis
Brandon Routh’s Zachary Stone is a fireman who is at the top of his game professionally. He enjoys flipping houses on the side. He lives a carefully ordered life, but when a plucky tabby cat named Ambrose shows up one day his life is turned upside down.
Marilee (Sustad) is a veterinary student who loves animals. She’s been keeping her own cat a secret from her landlord and she works in a pet supply store while she goes to school.
When Brandon and Marilee cross paths there is instant chemistry but neither of them is ready to accept that much change into their lives. However, their cats help them to see that change might be exactly what they need.
