Guide to My Family Christmas Tree on Hallmark Channel

My Family Christmas Tree is the newest movie coming to the 2021 Countdown to Christmas celebration on the Hallmark Channel. In this charming and relatable movie, a woman learns through a DNA test that she has a whole family out there that wants to meet her, and the journey to meeting them is as powerful as she hoped. 

What Is My Family Christmas Tree About?

Vanessa (Aimee Teegarden) takes a DNA test hoping to find connections to her family. She’s always been alone at Christmas so finding relatives – any relatives – would be a huge blessing. Not only do the results reveal that she has a family, but it’s a big one. Her biological father Richard (James Tupper) invites her to spend the holidays with the family, and he asks a family friend to pick up Vanessa and bring her home for Christmas.

Kris (Andrew Walker) has spent many Christmases with Richard’s family so he’s there to help Vanessa feel welcome when she shows up. When she gets a call from the DNA test company, though, it could change everything. 

Who’s in My Christmas Family Tree?

Aimee Teegarden might be best known for her role as Julie Taylor in Friday Night Lights, but she has also starred in Notorious and has appeared in The Ranch, Robot Chicken and The Rookie. She’s no stranger to Hallmark Channel movies, having appeared in Once Upon a Christmas Miracle and A New Year’s Resolution.

Andrew Walker recently appeared in The 27-Hour Day during Hallmark’s Summer Nights programming, and he’s also starred in several other Hallmark movies including Merry & Bright, Christmas on My Mind and Christmas Tree Lane.
