STUDIO CITY, CA – Tuesday, October 8 – Crown Media Family Networks, whose media portfolio includes Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Hallmark Drama, and Hallmark Movies Now, announces an expansion of the company’s already massive cultural ownership of “Hallmark-worthy” holiday moments through a new initiative, Hallmark Channel’s HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS, an annual event to honor towns where the Christmas spirit knows no bounds. Hallmark Channel is the #1 television network in all of Q4.
Some 2019 Hallmark Channel HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS events include:
Hallmark Channel will sponsor the first-ever “Christmas Con,” a three-day Christmas extravaganza to be held at the Expo Center in Edison, New Jersey, November 8-10. Stars set to appear at “Christmas Con” include: Lacey Chabert, Jonathan Bennett, Cameron Mathison, Nikki DeLoach, Alicia Witt, Jackee Harry, Erin Krakow, Paul Greene, Jack Wagner, Ryan Paevey, Andrew Walker, Chad Michael Murray, Rachel Boston, Holly Robinson Peete, and Melissa Claire Egan, with panels moderated by Hallmark Channels’ “Bubbly Sesh” podcast hosts, Jacks & Shawl.
“Christmas Comes Early to David City, Nebraska,” a town square event and tree-lighting to honor the birthplace of Joyce C. Hall, founder of Hallmark Cards, October 30. Through a partnership with David City’s Chamber of Commerce and local business district, Hallmark Channel will decorate the town square as Candy Cane Lane and usher in the official start to the Christmas season as Santa Claus arrives on Main Street in a 1910 Model T Ford, the most popular car in America when Joyce Hall founded Hallmark Cards, to surprise and delight young and old.
Crown Media’s newest linear channel, Hallmark Drama, travels to Beauregard, Alabama, a town ravaged by EF3 tornadoes in March, as part of a team that will build 15 new homes to replace those devastated by the powerful storm in a new special, “Project Christmas Joy,” premiering on the network, Tuesday, December 10 (9 p.m. ET/PT, 8c).
“From North Pole, Alaska to Santa Claus, Indiana, and everywhere in between, America’s small towns and cities at Christmastime remind us of what it’s truly like to live in a holiday-haven worthy of a Hallmark movie,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Crown Media Family Networks.
“Our goal is to highlight cities and towns that reflect the true meaning of the holiday spirit and show the goodness in our country and our communities that is sometimes overlooked,” Abbott concluded.
