What is ‘Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays’ about?
Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays tells a holiday love story between a nanny and a widower, according to a press release courtesy of The Hallmark Channel. The film follows Harper (Kaitlin), a spontaneous world-traveler, who comes home to Memphis for the holiday season.
When Harper visits Graceland, where she used to work as a tour guide, she runs into Priscilla Presley and her former boss. Harper then says she will curate an Elvis exhibit. She also picks up a job as an au pair for Owen (Grenier), who is a widower with three children.
As it turns out, Owen loves structure and order. So of course, this clashes with Harper’s spontaneous attitude. However, both individuals are pulled towards one another. But will Owen and Harper fall enough in love for Harper to call Memphis her forever home? Only time will tell.
