The Christmas Secret (2000)

Synopsis of The Christmas Secret

This Yuletide TV movie was based on the novel Flight of the Reindeer, which also served as the film's British release title. As a child, Jerry McNeal (Richard Thomas) was rescued from certain death by a creature he described as a flying reindeer. Now an adult and a professional zoologist, Jerry is determined to prove that reindeers with the power of flight do indeed exist; a mission which, alas, causes him to neglect his wife, Debbie (Maria Pitillo) and daughter, Grace (Taylor-Anne Reid). Ultimately, Jerry's obsession takes him to the North Pole, where a jovial, elfin chap named Nick (Beau Bridges) may or may not be able -- or willing -- to satisfy our hero's insatiable curiosity. Underwritten by such commercial enterprises as Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, and General Motors, The Christmas Secret first aired over the CBS network on December 17, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
