''Chasing Christmas'' is a 2005 contemporary re-telling of the 1843 Charles Dickens classic novella ''A Christmas Carol''. This ABC Family film, written by Todd Berger and directed by Ron Oliver, stars Tom Arnold (actor), Tom Arnold as Jack Cameron, who is a man with a Ebenezer Scrooge, Scrooge-type personality. He is stuck with his wife, whom he caught with another man at their daughter's Christmas play. The sad events of his life, including his wife's infidelity, led him to hate Christmas. This prompted the Ghost of Christmas Past (Leslie Jordan) and Ghost of Christmas Present (Andrea Roth) to show Jack what Christmas is all about. However, Christmas Past wanted to stay in the past, and Jack and Christmas Present ended up on an adventure to put Christmas Past back on track.
Brittney Wilson, who played the daughter of Jack Cameron, was nominated for Best Performance in a TV Movie, Miniseries or Special - Supporting Young Actress at the 27th Young Artist Awards.
