About Christmas in Conway

Duncan Mayor(Andy Garcia) plans the perfect Christmas present for his wife, Suzy (Mary-Louise Parker). Deciding on a real Ferris Wheet set up in their back yard, he will do anything to make this fantasy come to life.

Mandy Moore stars as Natalie Stringer, a home-care nurse that moves in with Suzy and Duncan to care for Suzy.

Romantic sparks also fly between Natalie and Tommy Harris (Riley Smith), a landscape designer who’s working on a project with the Mayor’s next-door neighbor, played by Cheri Oteri.

“It’s probably an exaggeration to say its love at first sight,” says Mandy Moore in an on-set interview. “But, that said, there’s certainly an attraction at first sight. We’re about the same age, we’re both sensitive, caring people, and we’re both unattached.” (ABC CHRISTMAS IN CONWAY)

Mandy Moore is best known for her role in Disney’s Tangled & A Walk to Remember.
