An Exciting Christmas Movie Reveal is Here!!!
In a previous post, I mentioned that actor Jesse Hutch filmed a Christmas movie earlier this year. At the time, the film had the working title In Starlight Point: A Christmas Card Mystery; however, it now has a new title: Our Starlight Christmas.
And even better news... we now know who Jesse Hutch's co-star is!
But first, before I reveal who this mystery woman is, let's take a quick look at the movie's plot...
Our Starlight Christmas storyline via IMDB:
"When a once-beloved Christmas novelist returns home to Starlight Point to save her career, she's pulled back into the traditions she shared with her late father - including writing the town pageant. As she reconnects with her family, her community, and the first love she left behind, she discovers that the story she's been struggling to write is the one bringing them all back together."

When I first shared this Christmas movie, we only had a few pictures from the set provided by The Hamilton Spectator, which only shared the back of Jesse Hutch's female co-star. Many of us tried to guess at the time who this mystery woman might be, and I'm so delighted that my initial guess was right!
Jesse's co-star in Our Starlight Christmas is... Ashley Newbrough (Operation Nutcracker, Flipping for Christmas). Was your guess right, too?
Jesse Hutch is very much involved with Great American Family these days, having recently starred in the 2025 Christmas movie Have We Met This Christmas? and, even more recently, in both the 2026 TV series Crossroad Springs and When Hope Calls: Brookfield.
According to the production notes, Our Starlight Christmas is supposed to be a Great American Family Christmas film, but please know the network has NOT confirmed this yet. Stay tuned for any developments there.

Our Starlight Christmas will not be Ashley and Jesse's first Christmas movie together. The two also starred in the cute Christmas comedy, Snowmance, which premiered on ION in 2017. It's a fun fantasy-type story in which Jesse Hutch portrays a snowman who comes to life!
Ashley Newbrough has also starred in a number of Christmas and romantic comedy movies over the years for the Hallmark Channel and Lifetime, including Unwrapping Christmas: Lily's Destiny, Heart's Around the Table: Jenna's First Love, Christmas Love Letter, and more! If this ends up being a film for Great American Family, this will be her first film for the network.
Our Starlight Christmas is a Vortex Media production. This company also has other Christmas movies coming this holiday season, including:
A Culinary Christmas - starring Laura Vandervoort and Olivier Renaud
A Miniature Christmas - starring Katherine Barrell and Stephen Huszar
Uphill for Christmas - starring Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner
I'm sure I'll be sharing more on these films at a later date. Stay tuned for more movie news!
May Your Day Be
Merry & Bright!

Awww I’m a little bummed about this. I love Jesse but Ashely, in recent years she has just fell so flat for me. I’ll still tune in with an open mind but wish they could have paired him with a fresh face.

This is great news! Don’t think I picked Ashley, but love her! Fantastic choice! I hope this ends up on GAF. Christie
ReplyDeleteI am glad to finally know who Jesse’s costar is and I know the production notes say this is supposed to be for Great American Family I hope we get announcement soon. Because I have my doubts. I looked into the writers, the producers, the director all have done hallmark movies before. Vortex has also has done hallmark movies before too, Yes I know they could do a movie and not know who the production company is making/selling the movie for. Until I see a announcement I will have doubts.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if Erin Krakow, Kayla Wallace & Julie, Chris McNally's wife had there babies yet and if yes what did each one have a boy or girl?
