COUNTRY ROADS CHRISTMAS is a 2022 Christmas family drama that’s now being run on UPtv. It follows the reconciliation journey of a famous country singer, Harris, who works to reconcile with his family after abandoning them for years and believing they both would be happier and better off without him. The journey to forgiveness, however, isn’t so easy. His wife and his daughter are not quick to trust him after so many years of hurt. Instead, Harris has to prove to them that his heart has changed. At the same time, he realizes that even grizzled cowboys need a family.
Harris’s reconciliation with his daughter, Skye, begins when she’s hired as his tour manager for his Christmas tour after getting fired from her previous job at a competing record label. Skye and Harris are both hesitant to have her join the tour, but Harris’s manager, Ryan, convinces them it’s a good idea. Ryan, who was serving as Harris’s interim tour manager, begins teaching Skye the ropes so she can take over the position in the new year.
Despite the history of hurt between Harris and Skye, the tour runs pretty smoothly until Skye confronts her dad about abandoning their family. When he doesn’t give her a response, she wants to quit her position and leave the tour. Ryan, however, comes to the rescue and serves as a peacemaker, keeping both Harris and Skye happy.
As the tour continues, Skye learns that her father has sold his house and is now living on the tour bus year-round, a decision makes her extremely angry. Skye is mad both at her dad for his decision and at Ryan for allowing her dad to make that decision. However, she invites them to Christmas at her mom, Meg’s, house so her father can have a real home for the holidays. Skye doesn’t expect her father to accept her offer, because he’s been skipping out on Christmas for years. However, he shows up for Christmas, showing that his heart toward his family has begun to change.
When he arrives at Meg’s house, Harris asks his daughter for forgiveness for all the times he abandoned her, explaining that he believed she would be better off without him. Skye accepts the apology, though her heart is still hardened toward her father. Later, Harris apologizes to his wife for the same reason and can’t believe she still loves him after all this time.
Shortly after Christmas, Harris returns to his tour, however, he and Meg go out on the bus, leaving Skye and Ryan stranded at Meg’s house. Skye has been angry with Ryan the whole time because she doesn’t believe he’s been taking good care of her father. Over time, however, her heart begins to soften as she hears just how much Ryan has done for her father Harris.
Even before hearing about Ryan’s kindness to her father, Skye had developed feelings for Ryan. Once she realized just how much he cares, Skye fully falls for him. Lucky for her, Ryan falls for Skye too and romance blossoms.
However, can Skye fully reconcile with her father. Also, will her parents get back together?
