Brief Synopsis:
Holly is a dedicated cop who’s getting some time off for Christmas whether she wants it or not. Now she’s back in her small town and rediscovering her love of her husband. But when her job follows her home, instead of celebrating with her husband, she’ll have to save him. Can she save the day, save her marriage, and save Christmas at the same time? Tune in to find out.

Whether you’re a fan of those made-for-TV Christmas movies that are a hallmark of the season, or if you’re a die hard fan of action packed Christmas movies…A Bomb For Christmas is the perfect gift for you this year, five years ago, or really any year.
