Production

The film went in production as A Rockport Christmas, and by April 1988, Hal Holbrook, Eva Marie Saint, Courteney Cox and Peter Gallagher were among the official cast members. Saint was appealed to her role by recognizing "the bit of selfless America I hope people don't lose sight of" in the Bundys, along with the film's emphasis on family.

The film's premiere took place in Rockport, Massachusetts, and was attended by Saint, in the weekend before its first television airing. Describing the premiere, Saint expressed her content in an interview: "It was beautiful, like the Winslow Homer woodcuts of Gloucester. They had a dinner at the high school and the showing in the gym. Girls in the sophomore class served dinner and the president of the class presented me with flowers.
