Long Lost Christmas on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Plot

This Christmas, interior designer Hayley (Taylor Cole) plans to surprise her mother Patricia
(Jaqueline Ann Steuart), with the perfect holiday present: the extended family she knows her mom yearns for. While she thinks they’re fine alone, Hayley has recently discovered the existence of a lost relative, Patricia’s brother. Hayley hopes to find him and reunite the two siblings for Christmas, so she travels to Denver to chase a lead on a man named Gordon (Grant Vlahovic), who owns a cabin construction company and who just might be her uncle. She’s charmed when she meets Gordon, his daughter Brianna (Stephanie Van Dyk) and Jake (Benjamin Ayres), the property manager.

As Hayley tries to discover whether Gordon is actually her long lost uncle, she begins to fall in love with the idea of extended family, the charm of the town and Jake. However, when she learns the circumstances surrounding the siblings’ separation, Hayley has second thoughts and decides to abandon her mission. Gordon, on the other hand, is happy to finally have a lead on finding Patricia – but will he be able to bring the family together in time for Christmas?
