More Detail:

  CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY is a 2023 romantic comedy from Fox Nation streaming in December 2025 on UPtv. It follows Becca as she tracks down her sister’s husband after an oil rig accident right before Christmas, In a small Montana town, Becca and her sister, Rose, suddenly lose a call to Rose’s husband, Josh, in Alaska. Becca calls the oil company and speaks to Logan, the company’s new PR man. Logan strongly wants to help the family in this stressful time. He travels to Montana to help, but can Becca and Rose really trust Logan and his motives? 

 The movie begins one morning at Becca and Rose’s yarn shop, where the wool is sourced from her father’s sheep farm. Becca and her sister, Rose, discuss the shop’s current financial struggles. Despite her best efforts, online sales remain too low, but they usually do well at the upcoming local Christmas Bazaar. 

 Cut to Houston, where a man named Logan walks into his office as Lead Oil’s new PR agent. Having just left sales, his boss, Martin, warns him that the higher-ups are concerned that his sales experience doesn’t translate to PR because it has more focus on employees than customers. Martin stresses that Logan will need thick skin in this new position. He reminds Logan he has an interview with Oil & Gas Weekly and asks that Logan give get the company good press. 

 Back in Montana, Becca, Rose and Rose’s daughter are in their kitchen talking with Josh, Rose’s husband, while he’s on an oil rig in Alaska. Suddenly, the call cuts out, and his phone can’t be reached. 

 Becca offers to contact Lead Oil for Rose. Logan answers and says he can only discuss the situation with Rose because she’s the only one listed as Josh’s emergency contact. Before handing the phone over, Becca tells Rose she’s talking to a big corporation and, if she thinks they’re holding back, to push harder. 

 Logan tells Rose the company won’t have any updates until they can reestablish communication with the oil rig. However, he makes sure she gets text updates. Rose is still frustrated, but Becca tries to stay positive. No news is good news, she tells Rose. 

 Martin tells Logan he has six hours to contact the families and to plan for a late evening. Logan says he took the job so he could help people. 

 Tucking her niece in for the night, Becca tells her sister that she needs to find her “Josh.” 

 The next day, Logan continues to field and make calls to the families. Becca calls again for any update. Martin warns Logan to keep his personal feelings aside as he deals with the inquires. Logan shares that he wishes he could be in Montana to be with this family. Martin agrees to let Logan go to show Rose and Becca the company is on their side. He advises Logan to let his visit be a surprise because it would make a nice story for the company. 

 Landing in Montana, Logan runs into Becca at the coffee shop. After a meet-cute and stopping by the yarn shop, still without revealing who he is, he shows up later at Rose’s house. Rose is startled thinking he showed up with bad news, but he assures her he’s only there to support them on behalf of Lead Oil. Rose and Becca make Logan dinner, and Rose asks him to purchase something from their yarn shop. Logan shares with them that he himself doesn’t have any family left. He also admits he admires their small town farm life. 

 At the shop the next day, Logan admires the shop and excitedly shares some ideas for Becca’s website. However, when a photographer appears, Becca questions why Logan’s really there. Becca also has some important news to share with Logan that complicates everything.  

 Can Becca and Rose trust Logan? Will Josh make it home for Christmas? Can they keep the business afloat or maybe even make enough money so that Josh can stop taking oil rig jobs? 

 Despite some weak dialogue, CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY is entertaining and has clear, positive intentions. It has a strong moral worldview that promotes small town American values, free enterprise and making great personal sacrifice to do the right thing. The movie’s positive moral content reflects some Christian values, but it could use some more overt Christian content.
