Which Hallmark Christmas Movie Starred Sarah Paulson

Over the years, the Hallmark Channel has become must-watch television, so it's unsurprising various A-list actors have popped up in their movies during that time. Among them was none other than Sarah Paulson. The "American Horror Story" star appeared in the 2010 film "November Christmas," which follows a father who helps his daughter experience all of the year's holidays early after she's diagnosed with cancer.

Bustle confirms Paulson plays the young girl's mother, noting the movie is "one of Hallmark's more tear-jerking holiday films." The movie was quite a star-studded affair, with the legendary Sam Elliott and "Sex and the City" alum John Corbett also featured. "November Christmas" is based on the short story of the same name by Greg Coppa, per Rhode Island's The Independent. There are no critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film has a 71% audience rating. 

"Refreshing movie, about hope, love, and faith!" wrote one user, who also noted it's "worth watching every Christmas." Seemingly damning the film with faint praise, another viewer described "November Christmas" as "a sweet and perfectly predictable movie."
