In the Lifetime movie Poinsettias for Christmas, poinsettia farmer Greg Parker (John Schneider, Bo Duke of The Dukes of Hazzard) is in serious trouble. This year’s plants haven’t turned red yet which they need to do before being featured in an annual Christmas parade. Greg calls his daughter Ellie for help. When she arrives home from the big city, her mother Katherine (Sharon Lawrence, NYPD Blue), tells Ellie how much it means to her father that she came home. He’s always hoped that Ellie would follow in his footsteps. While home, Ellie is reminded of all the advantages of living a rural life, and then she meets the local (handsome) botanist Sean Dalton (Marcus Rosner).
Ellie is portrayed by Bethany Joy Lenz. She’s known for her roles on Colony (Morgan), American Gothic (April), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Stephanie Malick), Dexter (Cassie Jollenston), One Tree Hill (Haley James Scott), and the daytime soap opera Guiding Light (Michelle Bauer Santos), among others. Poinsettias for Christmas premieres on Lifetime on Friday, November 23 at 8 pm, right before Every Other Holiday. [More Lifetime movies streaming are always available.]
