"A Carol Christmas" is a 2003 TV movie starring Tori Spelling. It premiered on the Hallmark Channel. The film is an adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.

Tori Spelling plays Carol Cartman a conceited Ricki Lake-like talk show host. She is cynical, selfish and treats her employees with cold contempt. She has been molded this way by her late Aunt Marla (Dinah Manoff). On Christmas Eve, she is haunted by her Aunt who warns her of the mistake she made and the terrible fate awaiting Carol if she doesn't change. In the tradition of the original story, she is visited by the Ghosts of past, present and future. She is shown how she will die alone and unloved if she doesn't change. At the end, she becomes a warm, caring person vowing to make amends. She goes on live and makes a touching speech to her audience about the importance of Christmas and giving.
