Hallmark Channel To Premiere "Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle"

Emmy Award winner Doris Roberts is playing her own kind of magical nanny in "Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle." Part of the Hallmark Channel's Holiday Countdown, "Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle," also stars James Van Der Beek, formerly of "Dawson's Creek."

In the acclaimed holiday story, Van Der Beek plays Seth, a widowed father to six-year-old twins who gets a new housekeeper in Mrs. Emily Merkle (Roberts). Between her magical touch at cleaning and even advice on love and life, its soon clear to both Seth and his kids that Merkle is no ordinary housekeeper and she's really "Mrs. Miracle."

"Mrs. Miracle" is based on the best-selling book from author Debbie Macomber, who also wrote this year's "A Perfect Christmas." The movie joins the line-up of new holiday original movies set to premiere on the Hallmark Channel, including "Christmas in Canaan" with Billy Ray Cyrus and "The Three Gifts" with Dean Cain.

"Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle" premieres on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, December 5th at 8pm ET/PT.
