Dust off those baubles and start stocking up on the cans of spray snow, because the festive season will be here in no time. In fact, it’s just a few months away… if you forget about the rest of the summer, all of Halloween, and everything in between.
OK, so Christmas isn’t quite here yet, but this hasn’t stopped Hallmark from teasing some of its forthcoming Christmas movies. Every year, Hallmark presents its ‘Countdown to Christmas’ programming block, which runs through November and December, and the 16th annual ‘Countdown’ is on the horizon.
Now, Hallmark hasn’t revealed the full details just yet, but the network has started to tease some of the movies heading this way this year. One of which is A Newport Christmas, which stars Ginna Claire Mason and Wes Brown.
Describing the forthcoming film, Hallmark, said: “Ella (Mason) is a charitable and spirited Newport socialite in 1905 who dreams of using her wealth to start a foundation to help others in town. After learning her father intends for her to become engaged to a man she’s never met at the upcoming Christmas Eve ball, Ella goes for a night-time sail in her schooner to clear her head.
“Upon seeing a comet shoot across the sky, she wistfully wishes for a different life. Ella is shocked to suddenly find Nick (Brown), a sailor and local Newport historian, aboard her schooner and accuses him of being a stowaway. But Nick insists he owns the boat and a standoff ensues.
“Once on dry land, Ella realizes that somehow, she’s traveled from 1905 to 2025. As she spends time there and gets a glimpse at what her future in 1905 appears to be, she becomes reluctant to return, especially since she and Nick have grown close and she now knows how true love feels.
“But the legacy Ella built in her time – and the course of Newport’s history – risks being erased the longer she stays in the present, so the two plot a course for her trip back through time. But what awaits her at home is even more surprising that what she found in the future.”
Joining A Newport Christmas, Hallmark will offer up Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas, starring Mae Whitman, as well as a new entry in the Three Wise Men movie series. Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes, and Andrew Walker will return for the as-yet-untitled new movie, which Hallmark teased by saying: “The dance continues with an all-new Three Wise Men movie coming to Countdown to Christmas this holiday season!”
As well as starring in the new Three Wise Men movie, Hallmark favourite, Andrew Walker will also be starring in She’s Making a List – a new holiday movie where the actor co-stars alongside Lacey Chabert. According to Hallmark, “The film marks a special milestone for Countdown to Christmas and Chabert, with her 16th holiday movie premiering during the network’s 16th annual Countdown to Christmas.”
And if all that wasn’t enough for now, Walker’s Three Wise Men co-star, Tyler Hynes will also be popping up in another holiday movie: Christmas Above the Clouds. The film is described as “a comedic, modern day reimagining of A Christmas Carol.“
Explaining the movie, Hallmark, said: “When a workaholic CEO (Krakow) tries to skip Christmas by flying to Australia, she’s in for the flight of her life. Haunted by her past, present, and future, she’s forced to confront the choices that led to her success yet left her flying solo.
“With the help of three quirky spirits and a surprise reunion with her ex (Hynes), she might just rediscover the magic of Christmas—and the love she thought she’d lost.”
With all this and much, much more yet to be announced, Hallmark is preparing for another big Christmas. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements soon.
