NHPTV Connections Very British Holiday Cheer Call The Midwife ’Tis the season for NHPTV to bring cheer with an exciting December schedule, including a special holiday episode from the acclaimed British drama Call the Midwife! Join the revelry as the nurses, nuns and mothers-to-be of Poplar get ready for Christmas 1960. A trip to see the Regent Street lights and a visit from a BBC film crew promise to make this Christmas one to remember. As the community pulls together to prepare for a televised carol concert, Nonnatus House is rocked when one of its own goes missing, causing a full-scale manhunt. Meanwhile, an unexpected surprise for a grieving mother may help bring the Christmas magic home. This year’s holiday special is filled with good cheer, snow and, of course, newborn babies!
