Dylan Walsh and Jami Gertz star in the Lifetime original movie, Lost Holiday. The film is inspired by a true story, centering on the life-or-death ordeal of an estranged Idaho couple. They accidentally get trapped in a blizzard during a snowmobiling trip gone wrong just before Christmas.
It's Christmas time, and while most husbands and wives are celebrating this season of togetherness, estranged couple Suzanne and Jim have nearly given up on their marriage. During a trip, the two become stranded in a snowstorm and are forced to reevaluate their lives, both together and separately. Their daughter, Taryn, who was left at home, has no choice but to pray for a miracle as workers search for her parents. Can Suzanne and Jim find their way back to each other in the middle of a deadly snowstorm? This true story, starring Dylan Walsh ("Nip/Tuck") and Jami Gertz ("Still Standing"), will keep you guessing and warm your heart.



Movie Review:

It was nice to know that this is a true story with a Happy Ending!

The scenes where the couple is stranded on the mountain in the snow is so realistic. I'm not sure how they filmed it in the snow, but it was terrific! Great acting throughout from Dylan Walsh and Jami Gertz and the actresses who played their daughters. Great Action scenes with snowmobiling. It was fun and exciting to watch. Our entire family really enjoyed this movie.

This story teaches us the truest gifts of Christmas... Faith, Love, and Family!
