8 PM ( HALL) MOVIE A Christmas Treasure Opening a time capsule nearly always is an act that is fraught with nostalgic significance, but it has even more of an impact on Lou in this new holiday romance. Not long after the time capsule unearthing, she runs into a charming chef who stirs her to consider several unexplored options in her life. It’s not long before she’s weighing the notion of moving to New York after Christmas to seriously pursue a writing career. Jordin Sparks and Michael Xavier star.
