It's the 25th Day of the Month again! August 25th marks 4 months until Christmas day and less than 2 months until Christmas movies begin to play on TV! (Hallmark begins their holiday season on October 22nd!) Along with watching Christmas movies, I say it's never too early to get out our Christmas storage containers (like Wes Brown and Rachel Boston above) and get decorating or gift giving!

While we are still awaiting a big drop of official Christmas movie news (could come at any time!), we've been given a few hints, here and there! I'll share some highlights today! It appears there will be a sequel to "The Nine Lives of Christmas" titled: "The Nine Kittens of Christmas," as well as a new "Mrs. Miracle" movie, which is currently filming. I always wonder if they can possibly top the original, but hopefully we will love these just as much! "A Mrs. Miracle Christmas" will be bittersweet without the incredible Doris Roberts, but I hope they pay tribute to her - with perhaps a flashback or two. That would be nice.



As for other Hallmark Christmas movie news, unofficially speaking...

We know sisters, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams have finally filmed "Christmas at the Madison," part 1 & 2, (UPDATE 8/26: People is reporting the official titles of these movies are Sister Swap: A Hometown Christmas and Sister Swap: Christmas in the City!)

Janel Parrish and Ryan Paevey filmed "Coyote Creek Christmas,"

Danica McKellar and Benjamin Ayres filmed "You, Me and the Christmas Trees"

and Erin Cahill and Wes Brown are currently filming "The Search for Christmas" in Natchez, Mississippi. (Both have previously made Christmas movies down south - Wes Brown previously starred in "Christmas in Mississippi" and Erin Cahill co-starred in "Hometown Christmas.")



If you are wondering about the two most popular ladies of Christmas, whose movies typically dominate Thanksgiving weekend, well... Lacey Chabert once again will have a royal movie with "Christmas at Castle Hart," which is being filmed in Ireland and will include a fancy ballroom scene - details to come! And Candace Cameron Bure recently shared in an interview with US Weekly - "I’m not going to tell you who it is, but I’m getting [my dream Hallmark costar] for my Christmas movie this year." Lots of guesses are swirling around from Niall Matter, Brennan Elliott, Jesse Hutch, Peter Benson and others! Do you have a guess or someone you are hoping? Please share in comments below...

So... that's just some of the Christmas movies we've heard about, so far. I am waiting to share even more news as soon as Hallmark officially releases it. I feel like I'm peeking in the boxes before Christmas morning, and I don't want to spoil all the gifts. It's nice to have a few surprises!

Now... how will you *Mark the 25th* of August as we Countdown to Christmas? Do you plan to watch a Christmas movie today or wait to watch one of the Christmas movies airing this week? Please share your pick in comments below.

I plan to watch... Christmas Waltz starring Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp. All that talk about her latest movie and ballroom dancing has me in the mood for this one. By the way, if you didn't save Christmas Waltz on your DVR, it is available on DVD - see here!
