Christmas Dress (2016): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2016, Christmas Dress is a drama and family film, running about 27 minutes. “A mother's prayer. An unexpected miracle.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. It’s Christmas Eve, and Leland Jeppson’s hope is gone. Struggling to get by in their rustic homestead, he had at least wanted to give his family a special Christmas. But with a blizzard blowing in and the train bearing their gifts nowhere in sight, it seems Christmas is just one more thing they’ll have to do without. But as dusk falls, the Jeppsons’ packages unexpectedly arrive at the post office in the not-so-nearby town. Half-blind Postman George Schow is hesitant to brave the storm, but his son, Sidney, will stop at nothing to bring Christmas to the Jeppsons—and ask their daughter, Ellen, to the New Year’s Eve dance. Now it’s up to father and son to battle fierce elements in an attempt to deliver a Christmas miracle. Don’t miss this heartwarming reminder that while God helps those who help themselves, sometimes He does so through others.

Who’s in it. Christmas Dress stars Tiffani DiGregorio as Mary, Chelsea Jurkiewicz as New Year's Eve Party Guest, Steve Luna as Leland Jeppson and Cathy Tidwell as New Year's Eve Party Guest, among others.
