Additional storyline via Super Channel: Haley Hanson puts her job as an advertising executive first, middle and last, with no time left over for her personal life, even during the holidays. So when she discovers that Tyler Toys, a huge prospective client, is looking for a new agency to represent them, she couldn't be more excited to put together the pitch. Haley's boss, however, worries that she won't understand how to meet the needs of a traditional toy company and threatens to take the account away unless Haley heads to Christmas Camp at Holly Peak Inn. Disconnected from her cell phone, Haley now must learn to take a breath, bond with her fellow campers, including the owner's handsome son Jeff, and give in to a picturesque retreat aimed at restoring Christmas cheer in all who attend. While the idea of completing the camp seems like just another job to her at first, Haley soon begins to discover that Christmas Camp is about so much more than what she originally thought, it's about remembering the importance of love, friendship and family, the things that make the holiday season truly special.

I hope there’s new poster for Christmas Camp!!!
ReplyDeleteI imagine the "Christmas Camp" poster Hallmark releases will look a lot like the landscape picture with the buildings and Lily Anne Harrison and Bobby Campo's faces. (see above^)
DeleteI love the poster for this movie! It looks like the movie could be very funny...and I am all for a good Hallmark Christmas comedy!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Mark 25... Christmas Camp does seem more like a cheerful, lighthearted Christmas comedy. I'm curious to see why they chose it for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, when they usually do more heartfelt dramas.
DeleteI sure wish it was airing on Sunday! If they put movies on Thursdays I am going to miss more movies!:(
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not sure why they moved it to Thursday night. I know a lot of people watch Christmas Thursdays on HMM, but a new premiere is typically expected there on Sunday nights. I hope you will be able to watch or record this one!
DeleteI'm looking forward to this movie. A Christmas Camp sounds like fun to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm delighted to hear that, Carol! I'm excited to see this one too! It sounds like we are all going to be Happy "Christmas" Campers!!! :)
DeleteHi! I’m the writer who wrote Hallmarks original movie Christmas Camp and the novels, Christmas Camp and sequel Christmas Camp Wedding. I wanted to correct one face in the article that I actually wrote the movie FIRST and fell in love with the story so much I decided to also write the novels. The novels just ended up being released first. I’m so excited for everyone to now also see the movie I wrote on July 11th! Celebrating Christmas in July I’m doing a fun giveaway copies of the book & 100 dollar Amazon gift card you can follow on social media #ChristmasCamp and enter. Merry Christmas in July!

HMM will make movie this year: Christmas Camp Wedding. Starring Anna Lynn Harrison & Bobby Campo
DeleteYes, it's possible there could be a sequel to this. Karen Schaler, who wrote Christmas Camp, has also written Christmas Camp Wedding. We'll have to keep a look out for sequel news!!! :)
DeleteLoved Christmas Camp! The spirit and the heart...can't wait for the sequel, Christmas Camp Wedding!! Please make it!!
ReplyDeleteThis movie is a heartwarming story of love, friendship and the magic of my favorite holiday, Christmas, which now I love even more. Actors were great and I loved Max, the wonder dog!!
