Sophia is laid back to the point of paralysis and cannot seem to assemble the basics of life, including a healthy work/life balance and evolved relationships. When Sophia tells her twin she’s had to cancel her Christmas vacation to stay in San Diego to work, Kaelynn jumps at the chance to flee the frost of Ohio to take her sister’s place. With her sister’s kids with their dad for Christmas, Sophia believes her only job will be to watch holiday movies by the fire. Kaelynn feels confident her demanding day-to-day has prepared her for Sophia’s grinchy boss and flaky friends. Then, reality sets in! With the familiar turned upside down, it will take a Christmas miracle to make it all right again.

ROYALLY WRAPPED FOR CHRISTMAS

Starring Jen Lilley and Brendan Fehr

Premieres: Saturday, November 27, 2021 at 8pm ET/PT

In “Royally Wrapped for Christmas,” Lindsay Peterson (Lilley) of Brooklyn, NY, heads up one of the most successful chapters of the Festive Heart Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to underserved children and founded by the Royal Family of Veronia. The foundation will commemorate its centennial this holiday and Lindsay is summoned to the kingdom to plan the celebratory gala. Before she embarks to Veronia, Lindsay meets the charity’s President, Willard, and a pleasant man, Aiden (Fehr), who Lindsay mistakenly believes is the organization’s accountant. Willard persuades Lindsay to join him and two other organizers from the global charity in Veronia. It is there Lindsay discovers the “accountant” is really Crown Prince Aiden who is to ascend the throne after his mother, Queen Rayna. Committed to the mission of the charity, Lindsay proposes a new idea based on a tradition she learned from her grandmother: each Christmas, two gifts must be given. One to keep, one to give. Veronia’s Parliament enthusiastically accepts Lindsay’s proposal for the charity, vowing to change the world in the kindest way. Now Prince Aiden must decide if the commoner from New York who has helped so many may have just stolen his heart.

Producer is David Anselmo. Supervising Producers are David Lowe, W. Michael Beard, Allan Fung. Associate Producers are Bonnie Adams and Katilyn Greenough. Director is T.W.

Tyler is going home for Christmas for the first time in years after abruptly quitting his label. First, Emma and Tyler have a friendship to repair. Emma broke Tyler’s heart on Christmas Eve several years ago when she turned down his marriage proposal. When Emma and Tyler arrive in their hometown, they are immediately immersed in an all-hands-on-deck effort to save the annual Christmas Carol Celebration, where they first sang together as kids in the choir. Turns out, a trip down Memory Lane may hit all the right notes for Emma and Tyler.

Co-Executive Producer is Mark Amato. Supervising Producers are Kay Metchie and Johnathan Shore. Producer is Donald Munro. Associate Producer is Jaden Babcock.

  1. Who is the actress with dark hair? She looks familiar.

    1. That is actress Sarah Lind, who you may recognize from the "Martha's Vineyard Mysteries" with Jesse Metcalfe. Sarah had blonde hair, of course, in that series, so she looks quite different with dark hair. However, I think she looks lovely with this style, too!

    1. Misty, I don't like any swapping movies; especially where one person plays two different characters. Just me, I'm sure. I do like Sarah Lind.

    2. I like Sarah Lind too but I have to admit I don't really think she and Jesse Metcalfe are a great match in thr Martha's Vineyard Mysteries - Florence

  6. I hope to get here more often to comment on the upcoming movies. I so appreciate the general thoughts here from other viewers.

    Oh,my! I just discovered that we have GAC already! I am really looking forward to another channel with decent programing.

    I am really thrilled to see that Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison are hosting the GAC Christmas Special. I miss Home & Family and the general positivity the show provided.

  9. Net, I am so happy to read this! These movies all appear to be great. Nice to see Becca Tobin has a Christmas movie this year.

  10. It is almost like the old Hallmark, where you could always count on decent viewing, has moved to GAC. GAC is an answer to prayer! I will never forget how heart broken I felt when Hallmark became diversified; announced anti-God programming. I pray GAC does not let us down.

  12. As of now I don't have GAC on either FrndlyTV or YouTube TV. I'm really hoping FrndlyTV adds it, as it would be a perfect channel for their lineup. ~ Jennifer R.

  13. I am just dreaming and wishing out loud here, but if Hallmark didnt want to do anymore Postable movies after this movie coming up, that GAC pick it up. I would love if they brought back the show, and kept coming up with more letters to deliver and such heartwarming stories.

    I cant wait for these movies and more that GAC will have for us.

  14. Let's hope GAC have a big enough reach to get good ratings although they seem to be adding more and more outlets.

    I think we sadly have to accept that the Hallmark we loved is no more -it's not just the PC isuue but even the endings don't seem to have that warm feeling of permanence anymore.

    I think the Pascalle Hutton/ Sam Page movie My One And Only was a tester and now more and more there seems to be a question over the endings as to whether something lasting will come of it.

    We just watched The 27-Hour Day last night and yet again the ending really only hinted that the relationhip might be long term and lead to marriage whereas before you would never have questioned it - Florence
