It reminded me of “Three Men and a Little Lady,” minus the star power of Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg, of course. Making this potentially saccharine yarn appealing is watching three bachelor brothers bumble and fall as they struggle to make a sad little girl enjoy the holidays. “Hallmark Hall of Fame: Christmas With Holly” (8 p.m., ABC). This causes Holly to start a rival group, and they both compete “X Factor” style for the chance to headline the annual Christmas show. When an opening in the group pops up, Marci rejects the hopeful Holly (Mowry) in favor of a less talented pal. What's more, the plot permits over-the-top Tori Spelling to chew up the scenery as mean meow queen Marci, the head of the Snow Belles. One word describes the magic of this one - music! Specifically, the contagiously joyous performances by Tia Mowry, who certainly has grown up beautifully from her cute days with twin Tamera on the '90s TV series “Sister, Sister.” Right away, we know we're hearing something special when she auditions for local Christmas singing group the Snow Belles and breaks out into a simply glorious “O Holy Night.”Īlso enchanting is a duet toward the end featuring Mowry and her handsome co-star, Jonathan Patrick Moore, of the more modern tune “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” on a River Walk-style barge. In fact, three such charmers air tonight. That said, I have found a few TV originals that, for various reasons, stand out.
