In an exclusive trailer for the film, debuting on Dec. 14 as part ofthe network’s “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” programming, Hewitt’s character Andie admits, “It’s my dream to make magic again.”

Andie and her mother, Mimi, ran a decorating and planning service together until Mimi died. Now, Andie will have to go it alone — and she faces a bit of resistance when she meets her client’s Scrooge-y house manager, Mason (Hallisay). Still, “My mom believed Christmas lights lifted people, and she would’ve loved decorating this house,” Andie tells the client (Debra Christofferson).

“Oh, you’re serious?” he responds, adding, “Yeah, Christmas isn’t really my thing.”

“There’s nothing better than Christmas!” Andie concludes.
