Holidays are all about making memories (hopefully good ones), but what happens when the memories start to fade from our minds? In Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' latest Miracles of Christmas movie, three siblings set out to recreate their grandmother's favorite pasta sauce and jog their grandfather's memories when he begins to suffer from the early stages of dementia.

What is Our Italian Christmas Memories about?
When their mother leaves town for her first vacation in years, the Colucci siblings—Anna (Sarah Power), RJ (Jesse Irving) and Ella (Morgana Wyllie)—reunite over the holidays to care for their beloved but ailing grandfather, Vincent (Beau Bridges). Anna is back in town for the first time in years and is shocked to witness firsthand how quickly Vincent’s early stages of dementia have progressed. In an effort to jog her grandfather’s memory and bring back a cherished Christmas tradition, Anna sets out to recreate her late grandmother’s legendary pasta sauce.
