New York Times bestselling author and filmmaker Karen Kingsbury is bringing an adaptation of her new book The Christmas Ring (due out Oct. 21) to the screen on Nov. 6 in a brand new feature film.
The Fathom Entertainment/Karen Kingsbury Production will star Jana Kramer and Kristoffer Polaha. The film’s creative team will include rising director Tyler Russell and Nashville producer Natalie Ruffino Wilson (both of Someone Like You).
The Christmas Ring tells the story of a widow (Kramer) who, while looking for her missing family Christmas ring meets an antiques dealer (Polaha), whose father has the lost heirloom. The story spans from the French countryside of World War II to current day military town Columbus, GA.
“The Christmas Ring is going to be a sentimental and long-lasting experience for theater-goers this holiday season,” says Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment. “We hope to work with Karen Kingsbury Productions for the release of her heartfelt movies for many years to come.”
Kingsbury has more than 25 million copies of her books in print. Many movies and TV series have been based on her books (Like Dandelion Dust, The Bridge, The Baxters, A Thousand Tomorrows), and in 2022 she formed Karen Kingsbury Production. With the help of family members including her husband, Kingsbury’s team filmed the self-funded and successful Someone Like You, and The Christmas Ring is also self-funded.
