The holiday season is filled with happy days in the film, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Henry Winkler stars as Uncle Ralph, who spends the festive season with his by-the-book niece, Jennifer (Brooke Burns). However, her carefully laid plans are turned on their head when her uncle comes home with a handsome plus one — chef Morgan (Warren Christie) who he met at the airport. Uncle Ralph is a matchmaker of sorts, spicing up the Christmas season by trying to get his niece and Morgan together. However, Jennifer already has a boyfriend — he just happens to be one that her discerning uncle doesn't like.
While Winkler's presence was a treat for fans, he too felt the same starring in the Hallmark movie. He told Deseret News it was "a holiday gift for me to participate in it." The actor grew up celebrating Hanukkah, but in making this Christmas film, he said, "I had a thoroughly, unbelievably entertaining and wonderful time making this movie and, hopefully, it shows."
With Winkler's success on camera in this charming film, it's hard to believe that at one point he struggled to get roles that weren't like his "Happy Days" character.
