Summary

Brian is back, and this time he’s bringing along a very special guest — comedian and writer Jen Kirkman! Together, they dive into one of Hallmark’s most ambitious Christmas movies yet, A Newport Christmas. For more Jen, head to jenkirkman.com ABOUT A NEWPORT CHRISTMAS Ella, a charitable and spirited socialite from Newport in 1905 who dreams of using her wealth to start a foundation to help others in town, goes for a nighttime sail in her schooner to clear her head when she learns her father intends for her to become engaged to a man she’s never met at the upcoming Christmas Eve ball. Upon seeing a comet shoot across the sky, she suddenly finds herself transported to 2025 Newport and meets Nick, a local historian. As Ella adjusts to her new surroundings and the two grow close, the legacy she built in her time and the course of Newport's history risk being erased the longer she stays in the present.
