After receiving a medical diagnosis before the holidays, Heather Krueger discovers she is in urgent need of a life-saving liver transplant. Facing incredible odds against finding a donor, she's shocked when a stranger, Chris Dempsey, volunteers to donate half his liver to her. As Heather and Chris get to know one another and their families before and after the transplant, they form a deep connection and begin to wonder if the closeness they feel goes beyond the special connection between organ donor and recipient. The two must decide if Chris's selfless act is the beginning of a beautiful, true love story.

A movie that spoke to my heart and soul.
Within the last year I was diagnosed with stage four liver failure and kidney disease. I was quickly placed in the hospital and rehab centers for the process of draining my liver every week for a number of months. I also had months of dialysis. I waited 5 months until a liver and kidney were found. During that time, even though I never lost my faith in God, and with my wife and family members as my supporting angels, I still waited wondering if they would find a match for me. This movie and the cast members made this so personal and touched me so deeply! I watch it time and time again being thankful for the events in my life. Thank you Hallmark!

most inspiring
i like the theme so much, but the actor who played Cris was the wrong fit for the roll, while he might be a good actor, he wasn't believeable in this roll, i did enjoy the actress who played Heather, while i know the movie has to be fast paced, more time should have been spent showing how ill she really would have been in real life, this actress has the talent and should had been allowed to show more of how desperate a situation it really was,, stage 4 is a short lived death sentence without a transplant,, the whole theme of giving without gain is delightful, and falling in love on top of it is a hallmark moment for sure, very good movie and very inspiring, makes a great Christmas movie,,

Based on a true story!
My other half loves her Hallmark and she occasionally asks me to buy one... Once upon a Christmas Miracle is a heartwarming movie based on a true story... Christmas brings out the best in all of us and that's what Once Upon a Christmas Miracle is all about. And like any other Hallmark movie, "They Fall in Love". Bound to be a holiday favorite if it's not already.

Unrealistic Content
I had a relative who went through this procedure ..... very little of what happens to one before or after the operation is portrayed realistically in this Hallmark effort ..... it may be 'inspired'; by true events, but it stretches reality beyond its limits ..... my 3 Star rating is for the cast who work terrifically well together ..... they almost make you believe what you are watching is, in some ways, factual .

A wonderful, true story!
This is a great story, based on the real life experiences of two people brought together just as portrayed in the movie. Well acted, VERY inspirational, VERY moving! I love it. It was a real treat to see the couple whose story is related dancing together in the final scene!

My new favorite Christmas movie.
I have watched this movie over a dozen times and I just feel great every time. The two leads are perfectly superb in their respective roles and the rest of the crew also do a great job. Based on a true story so what more can I say.
