I was just wondering if the TV movie Mom for Christmas is ever going to be available for purchase????? It is my sister's favorite christmas movie and she has wanted to get it for years but it still isn't available for some reason. I would love to be able to get it for her for this christmas. Or does anyone know if it will be on tv anytime soon???

oh man! I think I remember that movie... is that the one where its three kids I think, and theyre given these golden coins or something and they try buying like 3 different moms or something like that? wow! if thats it, then I definitely wouldnt mind watching it again. I only saw it once when I was little.

It's a shame you don't live in Canada because its going to air here on TV next weekend

no thats "trading mom" or something along those line...

Mom for Christmas if i remember correctly was a movie starring Olivia Newton John, as a mannequin in a department store, that comes to life at christmastime to fall in love with the kid's father...

that movie was great...had it recorded on vhs...years ago...

i wish "the night they saved christmas" was on dvd...Christmas classic.

just found this on the "A mom for christmas" imdb boards...

Set your VCRs! As part of their annual "25 Days of Christmas" holiday marathon, ABC Family will be showing A Mom for Christmas twice next month:

checked out the ABC fam site and it's true!

SET YOUR VCR's indeed!

VCR's........what plantet do you live on.......set your DVR's, TiVO, or what have you, but get it recorded. If you have a DVD Recorder, record it directly from TV and edit the commercials as you go, or let your DVR or TiVO do it.

VHS is okay, but now is the time to get with the times, and record it to DVD.

exactly what ill be doing...just said get vcr's ready for the hell of it.

I still use my VCR for recording onto VHS. In fact, last night I just taped "The Ultimate Christmas Present" onto VHS. I guess I have so many blank VHSs and so many that I can just tape over that I continuosly use my VCR to record stuff (and watch the DACs that I don't yet own on DVD, of course!)

Thanks for letting me know when Mom for Christmas will be on TV. Now i can record it for her for Christmas.
Thanks again

I have the movie on DVD when it was originally taped off of Disney Channel back in 1997 on a VHS tape.

I still use the VHS recorder because i don't have Tivo or anything else.

I have A mom for Christmas.

I got it a couple years ago from my brother in law and sister.

I treasure it SO much.[its a dvd]

They got it off ebay.

I'm still waiting foir this and In the NIck of Time to come to DVD. I had both but the tape got eaten years ago

Lucky you! I rewatched an old Disney Channel taping of this movie around the holidays and it sure is a good one. We can only dream of the day when we can hear Olivia's enchanting "What If?" in full, legal Dolby 5.1.

Yeaaa.


I love that song.

It really is amazing.
But its sad that it is not on any cd or anything..since she made it especially for the movie.
