The movie is set to premiere during Hallmark&#8217;s Merry Thanksgiving Weekend during &#8220;Countdown to Christmas&#8221; on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Friday, Nov. 28<\/span> at <span class=\"xn-chron\">8 p.m. EST<\/span>\/PST and will be available to stream the next day on Hallmark+.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our HeartMates program was created to provide a community for people impacted by heart health challenges and to demonstrate that health struggles don&#8217;t have to define anyone,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Melissa Brotz<\/span>, senior vice president of Global Marketing and External Affairs at Abbott. &#8220;We are delighted to partner with the Hallmark Channel this holiday season to highlight some of the inspirational stories of real people in our HeartMates community. HeartMates is a testament to the healing that happens when people connect through shared experiences, and we invite others who have had heart health issues to join this community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4548397-1&amp;h=872674403&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ff.io%2FXV0qf_17&amp;a=Visit+for+a+sneak+preview+of+the+film.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Visit for a sneak preview of the film.<\/a>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Set in a small town hospital on Christmas Eve, the film follows Dr. Alice (<span class=\"xn-person\">Rachel Boston<\/span>) and Dr. Brian (<span class=\"xn-person\">Brendan Penny<\/span>) as they navigate a surprise baby boom and snowstorm that strands staff and patients alike.
