The Trouble with Christmas Mistletoe

Storyline: Set in the charming town of Brookhollow, The Trouble with Mistletoe follows an ambitious acquisitions executive (Murray) who returns home for Christmas and unexpectedly reconnects with the former fiancé (Varvel) she left behind. As the traditions of her hometown rekindle old memories – and unfinished feelings – she begins to wonder if the life she walked away from may be the one she was always meant to embrace.

O Little Christmas Market

Storyline: Olivia (Barrell) is a gifted miniature artist who has devoted her heart to the town’s Christmas market, a tradition started by her late father. When a corporate developer plans to tear it down, she risks losing the legacy she holds dear. A chance meeting at a train station with Grayson (Huszar), a talented yet unfulfilled architect, sparks an unexpected connection. Their bond is tested when Olivia learns his firm is behind the buyout. As Christmas draws near Olivia rallies the community to save the market after securing a delay to the final decision. Amid the holiday magic, Grayson and Olivia’s romance blossoms despite being on seemingly opposite sides of the deal. Together, they must find a way to merge their dreams and save the market, discovering that in order to endure love – like art – requires taking a leap of faith.

Travel Through Time - Hallmark Releases "A Grand Biltmore Christmas" Trailer

The Biltmore Estate once again opened its doors for another enchanting Christmas movie adventure!

Hallmark has unveiled the first trailer (see below) for A Grand Biltmore Christmas, the highly anticipated follow-up to the beloved 2023 holiday favorite, A Biltmore Christmas. This new premiere stars Holland Roden, Niall Matter, Andie MacDowell, and Jonathan Frakes, and it looks like it will carry us all away on another magical journey through time.

While the original film, starring Bethany Joy Lenz and Kristoffer Polaha, transported us more often into the past, this new chapter will send us back to the future!

Filmed at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, the story follows Elizabeth (Holland Roden) and Michael (Niall Matter), who first meet as teenagers in 1895. Twenty years later, fate reunites them, but an enchanted hourglass hidden within Biltmore's library suddenly sweeps them into the modern day. As they marvel at an unfamiliar century, they'll have to unravel the mystery of the magical hourglass and discover a way to return Elizabeth to her own time before history and her future is changed forever.

Also, be sure to look for a sneak peek scene from A Grand Biltmore Christmas this weekend during the premiere of O Little Christmas Market!

May Your Day Be Grand
and Spectacular!
