What is The Christmas Cup about?
Here’s the synopsis of The Christmas Cup from Hallmark Channel:
“After a knee injury threatens to cut her career short, Staff Sergeant Kelly Brandt returns home in low spirits for the holidays. Her family tries to help by encouraging her to lead her hometown team in the annual Christmas Cup against the rival town. It takes a lot of work, but Kelly organizes her team and gets them as competition–ready as she can with the help of Fire Captain Quinn Stokley. Sparks begin to fly with Quinn, and through the whole process, Kelly is reminded of how much she loves to lead, but her heart still hopes she will be cleared to return to serve. Kelly ultimately receives the call she has been waiting for; however, it’s not what she expects. With the Marines needing her to report to the Hawaiian base on the day of the competition, Kelly soon realizes there is more than one way to serve a community.”
Who is in it?
The Christmas Cup features Rhiannon Fish (A Prince in Paradise) as Kelly Brandt and Ben Rosenbaum (When Calls the Heart) as Quinn Stokley.
