Synopsis
The two will team up on the small screen in a TV movie about two unusual neighbors who grow fond of each other. The synopsis reads: “At first glance, next-door neighbors Eric Redford (Metcalfe) and April Stewart (Gubelmann) couldn’t be more different.” Eric is a proud bachelor, a successful author, and loves his flashy, loud car and guy’s nights. April teaches at-home violin classes, and wishes every day could be Christmas. When Eric is put into a situation that forces him to get a little festive, he meets April, “who is at her own professional crossroads and fearful about an upcoming audition for the symphony.” The two help each other out, and Eric slowly reassesses his hatred for the holidays and experiences the magic of Christmas. Will he give up his bachelor life for holiday romance? You’ll have to find out by watching Christmas Next Door!
