Finding John Christmas is a 2003 American made-for-television fantasy drama film that first aired on CBS. The film is a sequel to the 2001 television movie A Town Without Christmas.
Plot
When a photojournalist (David Cubitt) in the fictional Bay City photographs a mysterious stranger performing an act of bravery, the act quickly becomes headline news and the town dubs the stranger "John Christmas". After seeing the photo, Kathleen McAllister (Valerie Bertinelli) becomes convinced that the mysterious stranger is in fact her long-lost brother Hank (William Russ), a former firefighter. With the town's help, Kathleen and Noah set about to find the stranger's true identity with the help of Max (Peter Falk), a Christmas angel.
Filmed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the film featured a scene of a burning school based on the real Our Lady of the Angels School fire in Chicago, Illinois in 1958."[https://web.archive.org/web/20080226023523/http://www.cbs.com/specials/finding_john_christmas/comm_ask_valerie.shtml Ask Valerie]".
