Mrs. Miracle

Mrs. Miracle (2009) is a cozy Christmas family comedy with a touch of magic, and you can watch online on iFILM. Widower Seth Webster can't keep a housekeeper: his six-year-old twin boys chase every new hire out the door within days.

Then Emily Merkle shows up unannounced. She cooks, she tidies, she settles the brothers' fights, and she quietly nudges Seth toward a kind neighbor. Where she came from and how she knows so much stays a gentle mystery the film never quite explains.

James Van Der Beek plays the dad; Doris Roberts, of Everybody Loves Raymond, is the unflappable nanny. Director Michael M. Scott adapts Debbie Macomber's novel into easy holiday comfort viewing — no big twists, just warmth for a family night in. Stream Mrs. Miracle online on iFILM.
