Hallmark Media Announces Holiday Film, "Christmas on Call"




Hallmark Media announces via People.com a new Christmas movie titled "Christmas on Call," starring Sara Canning (Holiday Road) and Ser'Darius Blain (Caribbean Summer), and a special appearance by Donna Kelce (mother of NFL players Jason and Travis, who also makes an appearance in the Hallmark Channel Christmas movie, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story).

According to Hallmark, the story centers around "the lives of first responders in Philadelphia" who "intersect over the holiday season while juggling work, personal lives, and their dedication to protect and serve their city."

This movie will premiere part of Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas. Premiere date to be announced.

People.com further shares, "Ser'Darius Blain plays Wes, an EMT and devout Eagles fan who helps a new ER doctor named Hannah (Sara Canning) find her way around the city. Of course, no tour of Philly is complete without a cheesesteak, and their stop at a popular Philly cheesesteak spot leads them to meet Donna."

πŸ”Ž Whodunnit? πŸ”Ž Where to See "Mistletoe Murders" Starring Sarah Drew - SEE HERE:




Hallmark+ and Hallmark Mystery posted this news to their social media:

"The holiday season takes a dark turn as secrets unravel in a thrilling all new holiday #whodunnit series, #MistletoeMurders starring @thesarahdrew #PeterMooney, and @siemarilyn premiering Oct 31 on #HallmarkPlus!"

The "Mistletoe Murders" series, starring Sarah Drew, will consist of 6 episodes. Other cast members, according to Deadline, include: Sierra Marilyn Riley (Violet), Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience), Lara Amersey (Operation Nutcracker), Good Witch alum Kylee Evans and David Hewlett (The Shape of Water). Guest stars this season include Tom Cavanagh (The Flash), Jake Epstein (Suits) and Steven Lund (Schitt’s Creek).

Story details via Hallmark Media: "Emily Lane is an optimistic shop owner of a charming year-round Christmas-themed store. However, her inner voice reveals a sardonic sense of humor, cunning intellect, and keen eye for details most people would miss…because Emily has a big secret. Residing in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, Emily finds herself compelled to investigate not-so-quaint local murders. And when Emily begins her personal investigations, Detective Sam Wilner (Peter Mooney), a smart local cop – with a crush on Emily that is not completely unrequited – begins to wonder if there’s more to Emily than meets the eye."

I know many are wondering if this series will also air on Hallmark Mystery. I personally think that "Mistletoe Murders" will likely have a later premiere date on the network, but we will have to wait and see. Since both Hallmark+ and Hallmark Mystery shared the news, perhaps that is a clue!


Happy Sleuthing!

"When Calls the Heart" Cast To Welcome "Little House on the Prairie" Star To Season 12




While the Hearties Family Reunion fan event is taking place in Vancouver, Canada, Michael Landon Jr. (one of the producers of "When Calls the Heart" and son of Michael Landon) revealed some exciting news to the fans assembled there. "Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert (who famously portrayed Laura Ingalls as a young girl and teacher on the prairie series) will join the cast of "When Calls the Heart" for two episodes in Season 12!

According to Hallmark, Melissa Gilbert will play Georgie McGill, “who shares a surprising past with one special Hope Valley resident.”

Announcement video:





This is not, however, Melissa Gilbert's first time on Hallmark; she previously starred in these movies for the network: Thicker than Water, Sacrifices of the Heart, and The Christmas Pageant.



Returning for season 12 of "When Calls the Heart" are: Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, Chris McNally, Jack Wagner, Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith, Andrea Brooks, and lots more of the regular cast members...


My Quick Take:

Oh my goodness... this news makes me so happy! I'm so thrilled to learn and share with you all that Melissa Gilbert will be visiting Hope Valley. I think this will be a wonderful addition to the show. Who will her character, Georgie, have a connection with in the town? There are so many possibilities. I'm guessing it might be Jack Wagner's character, Bill Avery, but we shall see.

Due to the prairie time period and small community centered around the church and one-room schoolhouse, "When Calls the Heart" is often compared to "Little House on the Prairie," so to have them connected in this way is extra special.

I hope many of you enjoyed this news, as well.


Blessings to you all,
Net


πŸŽ„ Great American Family Announces TWO Premiere Dates For Their 2024 Christmas Movie Season πŸŽ„ SEE HERE:




During the premiere of "Love's Second Act" on Great American Family, the network aired two separate promos for their first two Christmas Movie Premieres for the 2024 Christmas movie season!



"CHRISTMAS IN SCOTLAND," starring Jill Winternitz and Dominic Watters, is set to premiere Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 8pm/7c. as the first of 17 original Christmas premieres for Great American Family.

Storyline: A New York installation designer helps a small Scottish community create a dazzling light display to win “Best Christmas Village” festival. The designer is forced to work with a wealthy heir who doesn’t like Christmas, though feelings may change if the pair succeeds in creating joy for the community.

"Christmas in Scotland" has previously aired on streaming sources. Jane, who is a great friend and terrific contributor to It's a Wonderful Movie shared this review:

πŸŽ„ Christmas in Scotland. Cute movie. (Watched on Xumo Play app, free on Roku but you just have to endure commercials.) I’ll give pretty much any movie based in Scotland a watch and I loved that this one was filmed locally and we could see authentic scenery and set locations instead of it being somewhere in Canada. The script and the premise are rather lacking and the movie had some typical “eye roll” moments but it also had its share of sweet and warm moments (the hot chocolate game was a cute and unique twist on a Christmas-movie staple) and I appreciated hearing some genuine UK accents instead of Americans faking it. The lead actor was kind of different than the usual leading man but I thought he felt pretty genuine in his role. The lead actress was okay but I didn’t really think she was a perfect fit for a warm fuzzy Christmas role (she has the look of Autumn Reeser but her mannerisms and tone of voice comes off as much less lighthearted than Autumn, in my opinion). I could better see her in a role that is more serious or serious with a side of quirky or light sarcasm; maybe in a mystery movie as the serious detective or the coroner along with a male lead who can provide the touch of lightness and humor and also just a hint of romance. And the two leads didn’t have the greatest of romantic chemistry, it was okay but could have been better with different casting. (Also, I was not crazy that she had a loser boyfriend throughout the movie so it felt weird for her to be falling for another guy, even though the boyfriend was an ocean away.) One cringeworthy element to the movie was the actor that played her father - he was way over-acting to the point of being ridiculous (I’ve seen him in other roles years ago and he wasn’t nearly as horrible as this one; I was actually wondering if he’s had a stroke or something that affected the way he acts?). I’m not a huge fan of Reel One movies, I feel they tend to be a bit low-budget and the sound is usually rather bad, but I’m happy to say this one was good and fun for a one-time watch, for me. Family friendly (except there is a weird, awkward scene at the beginning of the movie where the loser boyfriend briefly says he’s rented them a suite at The Plaza hotel so they could spend Christmas there, implying they’d be sharing the room???). ~~Jane

The second movie announced was "A CHRISTMAS CASTLE PROPOSAL," starring Rhiannon Fish and Mitchell Bourke.

This Christmas movie will premiere on Sunday, October 20, 2024, at 8 p.m./7c.
