Two heartwarming stories of Christmas past and present. In "RED KETTLE CHRISTMAS," it's 1947, and police officer Mike Wolzak has inherited his family's Manhattan brownstone... and the custody of his troubled younger sister. While on patrol during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Mike meets lovely Salvation Army bell ringer Karen O'Leary, who is struggling to support herself and her young daughter. As their paths cross during the festive holiday season in New York, Karen teaches the tough World War II veteran how to support and love his family. In the process, he just might gain a new one. In "MANHATTAN MIRACLE," a war-weary soldier who has served three tours in the Middle East, Max Wolzak, has come home to spend the holidays with his family in Manhattan. There, Max reconnects with Sarah Peterson, his sister's old schoolmate who now works for the United Nations. Sparks fly as the pair becomes reacquainted, but when Max realizes that Sarah will leave for the Middle East the day after Christmas, he has a decision to make: convince her to stay, wait for her to return, or go with her to the one place where he never thought he'd return.
