Hallmark Projects
Here are some updates on Hallmark production projects from this month. Like always, all the information/speculation I put in this is based off social media posts from different Hallmark actors/actresses, general social media info and a production website I look at often. Things such air dates, airing networks, co-stars, movie titles, etc, are always subject to change.
Cindy Busby and Chad Michael Murray - The Holiday Train - Filming - Only news I’ve been able to find so far is that apparently the child actor who voices Rocky on Paw Patrol will also be in this film based on a social media post by Chad, himself.
Torrey DeVitto - The Christmas Promise - Filming- Giles Panton tagged her in a selfie of himself on set of the film. Now apparently he confirmed he is not the lead in this movie but will be a supporting character. So if that truly is the case, no word on Torrey’s co-lead.
Janel Parrish and Ryan Pavey - Coyote Creek Christmas - Filming - Not much word on this film other than the basics already listed so far. But they should be about halfway or so through filming.
Lyndsy Fonseca, Chandler Massey, Eric Freeman and Lea Thompson - Next Stop Christmas - Filming - Known actress Lea, actor from Katy Keene and 2 past/present soap stars all wrapped up in one Hallmark film! All that is know about this film is that it is filming in Connecticut.
Merritt Patterson and Jon Ecker - Gingerbread Miracle - Filming - They both posted set selfie photos and Merritt posted a photo of just Jon on her social media. Pretty sure it’s safe to say the movie will deal with Gingerbread in some way.
Kristoffer Polaha - Christmas Sail - Filming - While it’s not confirmed, it’s a safe bet to assume he’s one of the leads in this film. He commented on the directors post jokingly asking for details about the movie, director Stacey Harding teasingly responded saying it’s top secret.
Erin Cahill and Wes Brown - The Search for Christmas - Upcoming - All that is known about the film is that it will be filled in Mississippi. Erin shared that info herself on social media. I’m guessing production should be starting with the next few weeks.
Tamera Mowry-Housley - I Spy Christmas turned The Santa Stakeout - Wrapped - No word on co-star but from a twitter source I use, Devon Alexander, who appeared as a supporting character in a handful of Hallmark films has a role in the film. So there is a potential of him being the lead.
Ashleigh Murray and Luke James - Christmas in Harmony - Wrapped - Also starring, Tia Streaty and Loretta Devine. From my twitter source, it seems like this film with be music themed. According to a very vague plot description it’s about a women returning home to find her herself and finds love along the way...shocking right? But both leads are new to the network as this will be their first film.
Luke Mcfarlane and Heather Hemmens - Christmas in my Heart - Wrapped - Based on film description he’ll play a country artist with Hemmens playing a concert violinist. According to the article I saw he will playing a father in this film. It is said to air on HMM channel.
Current Hallmark Filming/Pairing Rumors:
Danica McKeller and Benjamin Ayres or Paul Campbell - You, Me and the Christmas Trees - Wrapped - Directed by David Winning, a well known Hallmark director. There are 2 possible male leads I’ve been hearing. Based on social media both men were filming something Christmas themed around the same time fame as Danica. It seems more likely to be Benjamin but either way it could very well seem that we will be getting a holiday movie from both guys this year!
Rukiya Bernard and Dewshane Williams - Christmas Time is Here - Filming/Wrapped - While I have yet to hear confirmation that she will starring opposite Dewshane again, according to some on set photos, cast and crew confirmed Rukiya would be the leading lady.
Andrew Walker and Aimee Teegarden - My Christmas Family Tree - Filming - Currently under the rumor mill as both are are apparently in Vancouver and filming around the same locations according to my twitter source of mine. While it can be safe to assume, there has not been any confirmation yet.
Bethany Joy Lenz and Tyler Hynes - An Unexpected Christmas - Upcoming - Tyler is currently in Vancouver, he mentioned recently that he was gearing up for a Christmas movie, and Bethany posted on social media about heading to Vancouver for a Hallmark Christmas film. While it could be nothing, this is a another possible and current pairing rumor going around.
Eloise Mumford - According to my twitter source there is a rumor of Eloise returning for another Hallmark Christmas film this year. Her last was in 2018 and apparently it is suppose to start sometime filming next month sometime.
Possible Hallmark Projects:
Susie Abromeit - Much ADO About Christmas - Wrapped - Directed by Michael Damian. Susie starred in A Perfect Christmas with the network along with a supporting character in Snow Bride. Apparently Torrance Coombs also stars in the film, not sure if he is lead or not.
Dillion Casey and Sarah Lind - The Great Christmas Switch - Wrapped - Directed by Ernie Barbarash. He’s directed 3 Hallmark moves in the past, recently Christmas in Rome. Lind is currently starring in the Martha’s Vineyard HMM Series and Casey has only been in 1 pervious Hallmark movie which was A Perfect Christmas where he was the lead guy.
**Given that it’s Christmas filming season on the network, I know lots of holiday movie titles and stars have been confirmed for Hallmark Christmas 2021 (Lacey, Candance, Alison, etc.) that will probably be starting production in Sept. Like always I plan on digging up what I can find for next months production post, unless the network beats me to it and releases everything first.**
So what are your thoughts on this first big round of holiday news!? See any pairings you’re already excited for?
