Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas continues Saturday (October 24) with Forgotten Holiday, a new romance starring Janel Parrish and Daniel Lissing.
The story gives a holiday makeover to the second-chance romance, when one big question leads to a broken heart, an accident, and a year of memories that suddenly disappears.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the movie!
What is Forgotten Holiday about?
Janel plays Kathryn Liu, who works as an antiques buyer at her father’s store. She and Rob Ashford, played by Daniel, have been together for nearly a year when Rob proposes before Christmas. Kathryn panics and leaves without answering him.
Rob later gets into a car accident that makes him unable to remember the past year, including his relationship with Kathryn. She does whatever she to bring his memory back and decide whether she’s ready for their future together.
Here’s the full synopsis shared by Hallmark:
Kathryn Liu (Parrish) is an antiques buyer for her father’s store and has been happily dating Rob Ashford (Lissing) for nearly a year. When he surprises her with a pre-Christmas proposal, her fear of a failed relationship sends her dashing away without giving him an answer. Heartbroken, as Rob drives to his sister’s house he has a car accident that leaves him without memories of the past year, including their relationship and his once-infectious love of Christmas. Following the unconventional orders from his doctor, Kathryn agrees to help trigger Rob’s memory by retracing their romance and reintroducing him to the holidays. But as his memories inch closer to returning, Kathryn must face the painful truth that bringing Rob back to himself may mean losing him forever, unless she can finally find the courage to fight for the love she was too afraid to claim.
