In “Karen Kingsbury’s The Christmas Ring,” a military widow (Kramer) falls in love with a poetic antiques dealer (Hollingsworth) while searching for her lost Christmas Ring, an heirloom that has been in the family since D-Day. Meanwhile the antique dealer’s loveable father (Grammer) has made a discovery that could change his life … and ruin everything. Decker portrays Leigh, the military widow’s (Kramer) best friend, and Winans portrays Maria, the calm to Leigh’s (Decker) quick-wittedness.
As background actors, the movie features a hundred current or retired actual military members including 103-year-old WWII veteran James Daniels.
“We used more than a hundred actual military members for our background actors. That was important to us,” Kingsbury said. “They have honored us in their service. Now we felt it was important to honor them. They wore their own uniforms on set and brought a deep level of authenticity to the movie.” Kingsbury added, “There’s a tremendous buzz forming around The Christmas Ring!”
Kingsbury’s story, The Christmas Ring, will also be released in book form, hitting shelves October 21 from Thomas Nelson/Harper Collins. Timed for the holiday season, the book will precede the film by two weeks. The theatrical film adaptation by Karen Kingsbury Productions from Fathom Entertainment is directed by Tyler Russell and produced by Natalie Ruffino Wilson, both of whom led the creative team in Karen Kingsbury Productions “Someone Like You” (2024). That movie earned Rotten Tomatoes’ coveted Verified Hot award and is currently exceeding expectations on transactional video-on-demand and streaming via Great American Pure Flix.
“This is the first time I’ve ever released a brand new book and a brand new movie at the same time!! People can come see the movie and then get the book as a Christmas gift for the people they love,” Kingsbury said.
With more than 25 million copies of her books in print, Kingsbury’s The Christmas Ring novel is expected to be a national bestseller.
