Silver Bells is a 2005 Christmas movie that follows a heartwarming story about a businessman named Bruce who is disconnected from his family and suffers from the grief of losing his wife. One day, he loses his temper and becomes involved in an altercation with a Salvation Army Santa Claus named Bob. Bob is a widower and is struggling to accept the loss of his wife. He tells Bruce that he wants to spend his time helping others during the holiday season to keep his mind off his own problems.

In an unusual turn of events, the judge who was supposed to sentence Bob to community service for the altercation, orders both Bruce and Bob to be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. Bruce is reluctant at first, but as he spends time with Bob and other volunteers, he begins to understand the true meaning of Christmas.

As the story unfolds, Bruce starts to realize that he has been neglecting his son, and his relationship with him becomes a priority. He also meets Terry, a waitress at the local diner, and they start to develop feelings for each other.

Anne Heche portrays Terry, the waitress who catches Bruce's eye. Her characterization is relatable and charming, making her character easy to root for. Tate Donovan delivers an emotional performance as Bruce, showcasing his character's transformation from a bitter and self-centered businessman to a caring and compassionate individual.
