This Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere, serves as a
yuletide cautionary tale about being nice during Christmas, because if
you’re naughty, the odds are somebody is going to know and there will be
consequences.
In Naughty or Nice – which premieres on Saturday, November 24 (8p.m. ET/PT, 7C)
– we discover that it isn’t always Santa Claus who “sees you when
you’re sleeping", “knows when you’re awake” and “knows when you’ve been
bad or good”, as the song goes. Hilarie Burton (One Tree Hill, Secret Life of Bees) portrays Krissy Kringle, a beautiful young woman
who nonetheless rejects everything positive about the holiday season.

As
if the name she got saddled with wasn’t bad enough, things really start
falling apart as Christmas approaches. First, she gets fired from her
high-powered advertising job, then her attorney boyfriend, Lance (Matt
Dallas, Kyle XY), starts pestering her about marriage; and on top of all
of this, she lives on Candy Cane Lane! The final straw is her part-time
job wrapping presents and playing Santa’s elf at the mall.
One day, as
she’s cursing the fates, Krissy gets mistakenly delivered a crusty old
book titled "Naughty or Nice" that’s filled with blank pages. She doesn’t
think anything of it, until she recites someone’s name to the book and
it suddenly springs to life, exposing the naughty deeds of those around
her. Now, no one can hide their misdeeds from Krissy. But it turns out
having this power isn’t so nice. It takes a lot of trial and error for
her to ultimately discover the power of love, humility, and the wonder
of Christmas. Beloved TV veterans Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross of Family Ties co-star.
