When Carly plans Snowden Peak’s Snow Ball with Jesse, their attraction is undeniable. But when Carly’s twin, Prince Gustav, arrives her royal identity is nearly exposed. As Jesse and Carly decide to hold the ball at Summit Lodge, they make the gala a fundraiser to turn the resort into a year-round destination. But without a celebrity draw, investors aren’t interested, and Snowden Peak is put up for sale. Too bad no one knows any royalty who could entice affluent socialites to the gala, which could raise enough money to make Snowden Peak a four-season resort for royalty and commoners alike.

When first-time author Cassie Winslett is paired with successful author Elliot Somersby on a road trip to promote their books, she learns to believe in herself and her talent.

‘SNOWCOMING’
A Hallmark Channel World Premiere

Samantha, once jilted by her high school sweetheart Jake during Snowcoming, returns home to honor her football coach father, who’s retiring, and runs into Jake, now a famous quarterback. Although it’s awkward, their obvious chemistry is still there. Later, after seeing the library needs updating, Samantha asks Jake to use his celebrity as a draw for a “Tailgate at the Library” fundraiser. At the successful event, a nosy reporter probes Samantha about Jake’s future in football, and lets it slip that Jake is leaving town. Stunned, Samantha wonders if Jake will allow his career to fumble their romance once again.

Come January, after the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season... may we all be able to relax a little, chill out, and enjoy these Winterfest-themed Hallmark movies!

I pray it's a peaceful time to reflect on the year past and look forward to all that is ahead for us in the new year!

God's Blessings to you all! Net

  1. I was very surprised to see the same actor in 2 movies of the same genre. I love Emilie Ullerup so happy to see her in more movies, and happy to see Trevor Donovan and Lindy Booth together. And yay to Casey Manderson :)

    1. I second your "Yay" to Casey Manderson, Sabrina! However, I would love to see him play the lead. He was awesome in the UPtv Christmas movie, "Season's Greetings." (I must, unfortunately, caution of language in that movie- 1 word used twice. Otherwise, it was a very cute movie.)

    2. My husband and I love that movie too, Net. If only they had left out the language so our girls could watch it with us.

      Merry Christmas!

  2. I'm really looking forward to One Winter Proposal, I really liked One Winter Weekend last year. I was very surprised to see the promo for Proposal last night.

    1. Jill, I'm looking forward to this sequel, too! It's always nice to see what happens next with our couples after the initial kiss!

      There was buzz recently that this was coming... so I'm happy to share this news now that Hallmark has officially announced it!

      And, there's already some talk (as you know!) about Countdown to Valentine's Day, but I'm waiting for Hallmark to announce this news officially.

      Winterfest is always nice to watch after Christmas. I love the Winter Wonderland feel!

      Thank you for sharing!!! :)

  3. Am I the only one who finds it a bit odd that Kevin is in two movies in one season?

    1. you're not the only one I find it odd as well.

    2. Yeah, it is rather unusual, but Kevin McGarry is one of my favorite Hallmark actors these days, so I'm pleasantly surprised we will get to see him in two!

  4. How interesting that Kevin McGarry is in TWO Winterfest movies come January! I think he will be a good match for both lovely leading ladies!

    1. I agree, LB! Kevin McGarry should be wonderful with both Emilie Ullerup & Jen Lilley! :)

  5. Winterfest is typically nice, but I'm not ready to see Christmas go.

  6. I hope there's 3rd movies: One Winter Wedding (2020)
    Taylor Cole, Jack Turner, Ruikya Bernard, Deshawne Williams

  7. I find it odd that Hallmark claims that Snow Coming is a premier when it’s a repeat it’s already been on. Very disappointed in Hallmark Channel!

    1. Hey there Lclovitt, I'm not quite sure what you mean? This was the first time (to my knowledge) that "SnowComing" has played on the Hallmark Channel. It first premiered Saturday, January 26th.

      Did you, perhaps, see it somewhere else?
