I’m so delighted one of my favorite actresses, Jill Wagner, will star in “Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses,” the movie that launches Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas! What an incredible honor.

Plus, I’m really looking forward to Lifetime’s “Sweet Mountain Christmas” with Megan Hilty, from the fun holiday movie, “Santa’s Boots” and Marcus Rosner, who was great in “Poinsettias for Christmas” last year.

Then on Sunday, I can’t wait to see UPtv’s “A Christmas Movie Christmas” with Brant Daugherty, from last year’s hit Hallmark movie, “Mingle All the Way.” Did you know, he & his wife wrote and star in this film? I hear it’s a cheerful, laugh-out-loud kind of movie – so, I’m really looking forward to it!

In fact, each of these new movies look like a lot of fun… I can’t wait to watch every single one!

May the true spirit of the Christmas season fill your home with warmth and your heart with joy!

I can hardly believe – it’s HERE!!!

On Thursdays and Fridays - we look forward each week to Hallmark's Christmas movies! This week was no exception, as I shared this week's Christmas movies - "Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane" and "Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa"!

Since Jill Wagner starred in the latest "Christmas in Evergreen" movie and since she's currently filming "Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses" in Marietta, Georgia for this upcoming Christmas season on the Hallmark Channel... I thought I would share here some fun images - Jill recently posted to Instagram on set with her co-stars:

Jill Wagner to star in upcoming Hallmark Christmas Movie - "Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses"

ET has exclusively revealed: Jill Wagner (Mystery 101) and Matthew Davis (Legally Blonde) will star in Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses, which is slated to premiere during Hallmark's premiere programming event, Countdown to Christmas, this holiday season.

Storyline shared by ET: "In the movie, single mom Abbey (Wagner) takes a leap of faith to pursue her passion for interior design. When she gets hired to decorate the estate of local businessman Nick (Davis), Abbey must complete the job by Christmas Eve. With the holidays fast approaching, Abbey must figure out how to break down the wall between her and Nick, as this could be the opportunity that jump-starts her career."

This will be Matthew Davis first Hallmark movie. Jill Wagner, in contrast, has previously starred in three Hallmark Christmas movies: Christmas Cookies, Maggie's Christmas Miracle and Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa.

My Quick Take:

I think this sounds like another delightful Hallmark Christmas movie for Jill Wagner, who has been one of viewers favorites since her first film for the network, Autumn Dreams.

This movie is also based on the book by Jenny Hale, by the same name - Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses. I haven't personally read this one, but the synopsis sounds cute and reviews on Amazon say it is a clean Christmas romance... a touching, heartwarming story.

I'm so glad we have this movie to anticipate seeing - during Hallmark Channel's upcoming Countdown to Christmas 10th Anniversary!
