In the Lifetime TV movie Last Chance for Christmas, it’s up to Santa’s stable hand John (Gabriel Hogan) to save Christmas this year. Due to a broken hoof, Prancer can’t fly. John is sent to look for a replacement. He finds one at the Miller Reindeer Ranch but the woman who owns the ranch, Annie (Hilarie Burton), doesn’t buy John’s story about working for Santa at the North Pole. Plus, there’s a Scrooge-like developer in town that’s putting a damper on the holiday season.
