In a delightful twist of fate, actress Tamera Mowry-Housley finds herself in a movie that mirrors her own life! Hallmark's latest Christmas offering, 'Tidings for the Season', has a unique connection to Tamera's personal story.
The movie features a character named Adam Kade, a news anchor who shares the same first name and profession as Tamera's real-life husband, Adam Housley, a former national news correspondent. This uncanny coincidence caught Tamera's attention, leaving her in awe. She exclaimed, "Are you kidding me? I have to do this film!" But here's where it gets even more intriguing...
Tamera, a proud mother of two in real life, plays Lucy, a single mom in the movie. Her character's son, Robbie, is a huge fan of Adam Kade, creating a heartwarming dynamic. The actress couldn't help but draw parallels to her own life, stating, "I feel like all my Christmas movies, I play a mom... there was something special about this script."
The young actor playing Robbie, Elijah-Justus Lewis, impressed Tamera with his talent. She praised him, saying, "He's a phenomenal actor... I think I scared him at first!" But a simple solution brought them closer—introducing Elijah-Justus to Tamera's iconic '90s sitcom, 'Sister, Sister', which made her "really cool" in his eyes.
'Tidings for the Season' tells the story of Adam Kade's encounter with Robbie, who encourages him to focus on positive news stories. As Adam befriends Robbie and his mom, Lucy, he gains a new perspective on life. A romance blossoms between Adam and Lucy, but a career opportunity threatens their newfound happiness.
Tamera describes the film as a "sweet" and "festive" tale about embracing life and love. And it's not her only Hallmark project! She also hosts the baking competition series 'Baked With Love: Holiday', which promises fun, chaos, and delicious treats.
Catch 'Tidings for the Season' on November 16 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark Channel, and stream it the next day on Hallmark+. And don't miss Tamera's other Hallmark appearances, including her insights on why a 'Twitches 3' or 'Sister, Sister' reboot hasn't happened yet.
