A Belle for Christmas 

Right before Christmas, a widowed father (Dean Cain) and his two kids adopt Belle, an adorable puppy.

Ace & the Christmas Miracle 

After an unjust divorce, Amanda (Brande Roderick) is left scrambling to ensure a bright future for her 10-year-old son, Daniel. But just when hope feels out of reach, the Annual California Wine Country Christmas Derby brings unexpected hope. She hires Tony, a down-on-his-luck pest control technician, to keep her horse Ace (voiced by Jon Lovitz) out of the race. What seems like a simple job takes a whimsical turn when Tony discovers he can actually hear Ace speak.  Together, they hatch a better plan to save the day.
