Christmas is the season of love and discovering the best about oneself. Very often, we feel we are underserving or incapable of love and end up wanting to be alone. Then, it takes something or someone special to bring the colors back into our lives. Hallmark’s ‘The Nine Lives of Christmas’ is centered on this premise.

The story follows Zachary Stone, a fireman, who is a confirmed bachelor. He does not believe in love or commitment. One day, Ambrose, a stray tabby cat shows up at his door, and Zachary starts to care for the cat. Slowly, he begins to see that a little companionship is not that bad. The fireman’s life changes further, and his desire for solitude turns upside down when Marilee enters his life.

This animal lover and vet student teaches him how to care for Ambrose. Soon enough, sparks fly between Marilee and Zachary. It is a sweet Christmas tale made even better by the homely surroundings. The setting puts the viewers at ease and helps them enjoy the well-woven tale. You might be wondering where ‘The Nine Lives of Christmas’ has been filmed.
