Ernest Borgnine stars as Bert, a retired song and dance man looking forward to retiring. Jamie Farr and Katherine Helmond also star in this story about a man long estranged from his daughter, Marie (Tracey Nelson, "The Father Dowling Mysteries"), and granddaughter, Becca, (Juliette Golgia, "Cheaper By the Dozen 2"), and the new family he's developed with a group of friends.
When Marie is hospitalized, it's up to Bert to care for Becca and it's clear the two generations are worlds apart. Through a love of music and dance, Bert and Becca bond and become a family. When Marie is healthy enough to come home, she and Bert reconcile past wounds and for the first time ever, celebrate Christmas as a family. "A Grandpa for Christmas" premieres in Saturday, December 1 (9 p.m., ET/PT) as a Hallmark original holiday movie.
