Christmas in Canaan is a nice story for a family to sit down and enjoy together. Based on a book co-written by Kenny Rogers, Christmas in Canaan stars Billy Ray Cyrus and deals with the unlikely friendship formed when two young boys who have nothing in common come together when trying to help an injured dog. As the years go by, the friendship is challenged by the changing world and the two boys find they need a strong faith and family spirit to keep the friendship alive. Christmas in Canaan has been described as "a touching drama that shows that the most important gifts in life are the ones money cannot buy". Also featured in Christmas in Canaan is an original song by Billy Ray Cyrus. The struggle of the two boys to preserve their relationship reinforces the idea that there is no greater gift than friendship and this idea is presented beautifully in this inspired family movie. Christmas in Canaan has a running time of 90 minutes and would be a treat for a family to enjoy together during the holiday season.
