Miracle in Bethlehem PA Plot

Successful lawyer Mary Ann (Laura Vandervoort) wants nothing more than to adopt a child and be a mother. When she finally gets the call that answers her prayer, Mary Ann goes to Bethlehem, PA just before Christmas to meet her new bundle of joy. However, bad weather forces her and newborn daughter Natalie to delay their trip back home. The local inn is full, but the innkeeper Frankie (Amy Groening) has a solution. Mary Ann and Natalie can stay with her brother Joe (Benjamin Ayres), who has a spare room.

With bad weather still looming, they extend their stay and take part in Joe’s family’s holiday celebrations, including time at the church. As they spend more time together, it’s clear there’s an attraction. Mary Ann is hesitant to tell her mother that she adopted a baby, and Joe shares that his life hasn’t been the same since the passing of his father. Both of them grow closer through their shared faith, and discover this could be the blessing they each needed in their lives.
