A Christmas Visitor is a 2002 American made-for-television drama film starring William Devane, Meredith Baxter and Dean McDermott.

It was written by George Samerjan and David Saperstein, and directed by Christopher Leitch.

With their daughter Jeanie potentially facing a life-threatening illness,[1] George decides they should once again celebrate Christmas; however, Carol adamantly refuses.

George invites Matthew to spend Christmas with his family, asking him to tell his wife and daughter that he knew John while they served together.

But as Matthew makes up stories about himself and John, George begins to wonder about Matthew's true identity when his stories include details that only John would have known (including a notable surgical scar from an athletic injury).
