On a cold prairie Christmas Eve, a small family waits for something more than presents: the return of a brother who left home to seek his own way. Christmas at Red Butte is a gentle, reflective story about hope, forgiveness, and the way love can knit together what once felt lost. It’s the kind of tale that reminds us that even in the quiet corners of winter, miracles still find their way home.
