A Holiday Spectacular – The Hallmark Channel’s original new movie premiering November 27 as part of its “Countdown to Christmas” programming event – stars Broadway favorite Ginna Claire Mason (Wicked, Newsies, Flashdance) as a Philadelphia heiress named Maggie in 1958. Maggie puts her high-society wedding plans on hold to sneak up to New York City and make her secret dream come true: dancing live on stage in the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. While her family thinks she’s staying in New York City with an “approved” friend from boarding school, Maggie is living a completely different life and falls in love with New York and dancing with the Rockettes. Maggie soon feels caught between two worlds, made even more complicated by her chance encounter with young U.S. Navy photographer John (played by fellow Broadway star Derek Klena). Will Maggie find the courage to tell her family what she wants for her future instead of accepting the future that was decided for her?
