The Christmas Shoes is a made-for-TV movie, broadcast on CBS in December 2002. It is based on the song and novel of the same name. It was shot in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is the first part of a trilogy, followed by The Christmas Blessing (2005) and The Christmas Hope (2009).

The film has three plot lines. One story is about a driven, workaholic lawyer named Robert Layton and his deteriorating marriage; another is about Robert's heartbroken mother Ellen and her friendly neighbor Dalton, a teacher; and the main story is about Maggie Andrews and her terminal illness, and how her family (small businessman husband Jack and young son Nathan) deal with it. All three stories are linked together, with Ellen taking over Maggie's volunteer job directing the local school choir during the Christmas season.

Synopsis

Brillant avocat, Robert Layton a toujours privilégié sa carrière, au point de voir s'éloigner sa femme, Kate, et leur fille de douze ans, Lily. Lorsque Maggie Andrews, le professeur de Lily, dont cette dernière est très proche, tombe gravement malade, elle réalise que chaque moment passé auprès de son mari Jack et son fils Nathan compte. Ce dernier est bien déterminé à offrir à sa maman le plus beau des cadeaux de Noël : une paire de chaussures qui feront d'elle la plus belle...

Parton stars as a somewhat-selfish country singer, Ruby Diamond, whose untimely death while driving at night results in her gaining an audience with St. Peter (Roddy McDowall). He offers her a rather unusual arrangement: she will return to Earth on a mission to reunite the suburban Bartilson family (a family that's been torn apart ever since the mother died). If she succeeds by midnight on Christmas Eve, then she will be granted her wings as an angel. If not, she will receive a fate much worse.

This includes "home movie" clips, scenes of the group's early days as the Vine-Yls, concert footage, and interviews with the people behind the success of the California Raisins including manager Rudy Begaman. The group is also shown performing various hit songs.

Opening remarks by Charlton Heston and Mickey Rooney are used to establish the film’s direction and mood. Introductory scenes quickly dissolve into one laced with sounds of thunder and artillery fire. The setting is atop Niagara Falls where waters cascade over the falls’ edge. Superimposed in the haze are dissolving scenes of American conflicts from the American Revolutionary War through Desert Storm.
