YATR’s Victoria Rowell and Kristoff St. John Pay It Forward in UPtv’s A BABY FOR CHRISTMAS

Now in its fifth season, the series’ action-packed finale saw Adalind relinquish her Hexenbiest powers – however temporarily – to test a formula that might help Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) become fully “human” again.

This season, he has taken over as
