More about Tidings for the Season
Tidings for the Season centers on Adam Kade (Britt), a local news anchor who puts on a serious face while on air. His life takes an unexpected turn in early December when he meets Robbie (Lewis), a 10-year-old who is Adam’s biggest fan. Robbie has an important request: he wants his favorite newscaster to talk about more than just what’s going wrong in the world.
With an ambitious mindset and a desire to move up in the world, Adam takes this interaction to heart as the holidays approach. Soon after, Adam discovers Robbie’s mom, Lucy (Mowry-Housley), is a single parent working hard to take care of her son. The last thing she needs is anything complicating a very busy schedule, including Adam.
As new friendships form and Adam gains a healthy perspective, his reporting changes. He starts covering feel-good stories about hometown heroes during the holidays. A romance develops between Adam and Lucy, and Lucy lets go of always being so self-reliant as she and Adam draw close. But when Adam’s reporting leads to bigger opportunities, he must decide what matters most this holiday season—the bigger job he has been longing for or his newfound community, including the love of a boy who thinks of Adam as his hero.
