Hello drama lovers, it’s us again—your trusted source for all things TV, Days Drama Digest, bringing you the latest scoop on the world of television, and more specifically, the ever-talented Alison Sweeney. You may know her best as the fiery and unforgettable Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives. And while we are all eagerly awaiting her return to the iconic soap next year, we’ve got something even more exciting to share with you today. Buckle up, because this is going to be a treat!

Alison Sweeney is about to take on a brand new role that will leave fans absolutely shocked. Yes, you heard that right—she’s stepping out of the daytime spotlight for a moment and diving into a heartwarming, emotional, and drama-filled Christmas movie that promises to tug at your heartstrings in the best possible way. In the highly anticipated film, This Time Each Year, Alison stars alongside Neil Matter, and let us tell you—it’s shaping up to be one of the standout holiday movies of the season.

But what exactly is this film all about? Well, grab your hot cocoa and settle in, because this is a story you won’t want to miss. The movie revolves around Lauren and Kevin, a once-happy couple who, like many, have hit a rough patch. After years of love and a seemingly perfect family life, the two found themselves drifting apart and have spent the past year in the difficult throes of a trial separation. At the heart of this emotional storm is their young son, Charlie, who they are doing their best to co-parent amidst the turmoil.

But here’s where the drama intensifies: Kevin is not ready to give up on his family. He’s spent the past year reflecting on their relationship, learning from their mistakes, and doing everything he can to win Lauren back. It’s clear that despite the separation, Kevin and Lauren still share a deep bond. The love between them hasn’t disappeared—it’s just been clouded by the challenges they’ve faced.

Then, as if things weren’t complicated enough, Lauren’s mother unexpectedly arrives in town for the holidays. Unbeknownst to her, Lauren hasn’t told her mother about the separation to avoid the inevitable heartbreak and awkward family drama. She convinces Kevin to pretend that everything is fine—that they are still together, happily navigating life as a couple. What starts as a harmless charade quickly becomes something more, as old memories, laughter, and shared experiences begin to resurface.

As the charade continues, Lauren starts to see the changes in Kevin—the strides he’s made to become a better man, a better partner, and a better father. Kevin’s determination to make things right becomes undeniable, and Lauren is faced with a difficult, but hopeful realization. Maybe, just maybe, this Christmas could be a time for healing. Perhaps the holiday season will be more than just a backdrop for their pretense—it could be the moment where they rediscover the love they once shared and rebuild the family they both desperately want.

This Time Each Year is not just your typical holiday romance—it’s a story about second chances, forgiveness, and the possibility of renewal, even when all seems lost. It’s about the importance of family, the power of love, and the hope that the holiday season can bring, no matter how messy life gets. Fans of Alison Sweeney will no doubt be glued to their screens, captivated by her heartfelt performance as Lauren—a woman torn between the past and the future, struggling to find her way back to the man she once loved.

But don’t just take our word for it—mark your calendars! The premiere of This Time Each Year is scheduled for Thursday, October 24th, at 8:00 p.m. ET on Hallmark Mystery. And for those of you who can’t catch it live, you’re in luck—the movie will be available for streaming on Peacock for 72 hours after its premiere. So, whether you’re tuning in for the live broadcast or catching it on demand, this is one holiday movie you definitely won’t want to miss.
