In the movie A Holiday Homecoming, the small town of Hope, NY is shaken when St. Jerome's Home for Children, the local foster care facility, suffers a devastating fire just days before Christmas. The children who called the facility home are left displaced and without a place to spend the holiday.
The community of Hope comes together to help the children, with many families offering to open their homes as temporary shelters. Some families even consider making their temporary arrangement permanent, as they realize they have room in their hearts and homes for a child in need.
The movie follows two families in particular: the Johnsons, a couple who have been trying to have children for years, and the O'Connors, a family with teenage children. Both families take in foster children from St. Jerome's and struggle to adjust to their new dynamic, but ultimately find that the children complete their homes in unexpected ways.
As the town prepares for a Christmas pageant to raise money for the rebuilding of St. Jerome's, the families come together and learn the true meaning of Christmas - love, family, and giving to those in need. The movie ultimately ends on a heartwarming note as the families consider making their temporary arrangements permanent.
