Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas

An announcer runs through a Monday-to-Friday schedule of made-for-TV holiday films, each one reduced to a leading question and a famous face. A talk-show host video-chats with Santa, a former Superman actor stumbles on a nativity gift in his yard, a sitcom kid plays a skateboarding Scrooge, a veteran actress fumbles through a post-feast holiday, a rock guitarist rescues a faithless child with a solo, and a country singer plays an elf with a shelf. The week ends with a reindeer shortage and a sitcom dad pressed into service, before the promo signs off by pitching the channel as company while dinner cooks.
