"Holiday in Your Heart" is a 1997 drama, based on a story written by LeAnn Rimes, who stars as herself. This made-for-television movie co-stars Bernadette Peters as a country singer.

Plot summary

The story is told as part realistic, part fable. A young country singer, LeAnn Rimes, playing herself, prepares to make her debut at the Grand Ole Opry. However, her beloved grandmother is hospitalized and LeAnn is faced with a difficult decision. While trying to reconcile her new-found stardom with her family obligations she meets Faith Shawn (Bernadette Peters), a once-famous country singer. Faith decides to mentor LeAnn, showing her the history of country music and telling her a poignant family story. The two sing a duet, "Crazy", and Rimes also sings "One Way Ticket", and "Blue." "On the Side of Angels" is sung by Peters and others during a harrowing flash-back.
