Lifetime Channel’s ‘Christmas on Ice’ is a made-for-TV movie about a former figure skater who pulls out all the stops to save her beloved skating rink after being told that it might get shut down due to budget cuts. In Worcester, the mayor informs Courtney that the city’s outdoor skating rink (the Oval) she is in charge of must be closed by Christmas because the government can no longer fund it.
Courtney then rallies her young skating class to try and save the Oval, the recreational center of their small community. Along the way, Courtney falls in love with Noah, an ice hockey player who trains at the Canal District ice center and offers to help Courtney in her mission.
