NEW YORK, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Lifetime Movie Network's Before They Were Stars December showcase features "Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere in a heart-warming holiday tale of a modern day Scrooge, "If You Believe," airing Friday, December 21, at 8PM (ET/PT).

Each month Before They Were Stars spotlights the early work of a popular actor in either a theatrical film or a made-for-television movie.

In "If You Believe," a once successful book editor (Ally Walker) has worked hard to squeeze all the magic out of her life until she is left lonely, disillusioned and on the verge of being fired. As the holidays near, her "younger self" (Panettiere) miraculously appears and helps reignite her passion for life and work.
