Starring Jana Kramer (“One Tree Hill,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Entourage”) and Benjamin Hollingsworth (“Virgin River”), The Christmas Ring reunites key members of the Someone Like You creative team, including director Tyler Russell and producer Natalie Ruffino Wilson. At a “Christmas in July” sale while searching for her longtime missing family Christmas ring, beautiful military widow Vanessa Mayfield (Kramer), early 40s, meets handsome antiques dealer Ben Miller (Hollingsworth). Now Ben is working in Vanessa’s hometown, scouring local shops for Christmas finds, and along the way their new friendship is blossoming into something more. But there’s a problem neither of them knows about: Ben’s father, Howard, has purchased a box of antiques that unbeknownst to him or Ben, happens to include Vanessa’s missing heirloom Christmas ring. A ring worth five figures and filled with a lifetime of Vanessa’s memories. Ben’s father has no idea the importance of the heirloom, so he makes plans to sell it. His Christmas diamond in the rough. Now, it will take a miracle for all of them to understand that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
