Sisters Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams' Hallmark Christmas Movies Revealed! SEE HERE:

It's official! People has revealed exclusively- actresses and real-life sisters, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams, will portray sisters in two original Hallmark Channel Christmas movies later this year: "Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday" and "Sister Swap: Christmas in the City."

I first reported this movie news with the Williams sisters here at It's a Wonderful Movie back in 2018! At that time, the working title was: "Lights, Camera, Christmas" Part 1 and Part 2. Over time it became "Christmas at the Madison" Part 1 and Part 2 and now, finally, we have the two new official titles above!

Both actresses have had their share of Hallmark movies, but this is the first time they are working together, which they say is a dream come true! Ashley Williams has starred in the "Christmas in Evergreen" series of films, plus "Northern Lights of Christmas," "Holiday Hearts," etc... Kimberly has also starred in several Hallmark movies with "Hallmark Hall of Fame's The Christmas Train," "A Nashville Christmas Carol," plus, the mystery series "Darrow and Darrow."

People is reporting... "In the two Sister Swap films, Williams-Paisley and Williams play Jennifer and Meg Swift, two sisters "who couldn't be closer despite living hours apart," according to the release from the network. "Jennifer is in Salt Lake City, running a successful restaurant she started with her late husband and raising her teenaged son Simon (Jacob Buster, Ballers), Meg stayed in their hometown of Hazelwood, helping their parents run the local bakery." The two films will be connected, with one movie focused on the story of Jennifer returning to her hometown, while the other tells Meg's tale of traveling to Salt Lake to help Jennifer's restaurant staff prepare for a Christmas competition among local restaurants."

I think it will be fun to see these two Sisters, who have bubbly personalities, in this 2 part Christmas movies series! Also starring with the Williams sisters, are Mark Deklin ("Meet Me at Christmas") and Keith D. Robinson ("Redemption in Cherry Springs").

Be sure to look for these Christmas movies - when Hallmark begins their holiday programming on October 22nd!

Joyous Blessings! Net

TWO DAYS until CHRISTMAS Movies begin on Hallmark… Come on Ride "The Christmas Train"!

- Hallmark Crown Media -

See the Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie The Christmas Train during Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Gold Crown Christmas Movie Event from June 29th through July 15th!

The Christmas Train storyline via Hallmark: From Hallmark Hall of Fame, a journalist embarks on a cross-country train ride at Christmas having no idea this journey will take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart.

In “The Christmas Train,” disillusioned, globetrotting journalist Tom Langdon (Dermot Mulroney) must get from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles in time for Christmas. Forced to take the intercontinental trip by train, and determined to chronicle his adventure, Tom finds himself westbound with a variety of characters. On the train is renowned movie producer Max (Danny Glover), Max’s script doctor and protégé Eleanor (Kimberly Williams-Paisley), and Agnes (Joan Cusack) who occupies the cabin opposite Tom’s and seems to know his business better than he does. While all passengers on the Christmas train appear to be headed for the same destination, Tom has no idea that the rugged locomotives taking him across America will instead detour straight into his heart – into rude awakenings, his wildest hopes and dreams, and toward the opportunity for love Tom thought was lost forever.

*Based on the book: The Christmas Train by David Baldacci.

Christmas TV Schedule!

Christmas Movies begin in TWO DAYS!!!

Make sure you get your ticket now!

Has ACTION been called on Hallmark Christmas Movies starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams?

Ashley Williams and Kimberly Williams-Paisley images: Hallmark Crown Media

"Lights, Camera, Christmas" Part 1 and Part 2 (wt) are a pair of Hallmark Christmas movies that will star sisters Kimberly Williams-Paisley ("Father of the Bride") and Ashley Williams ("October Kiss")!

We first learned these movies were potentially "in the making" in early 2017! However, during the 2017 Christmas season sisters Kimberly and Ashley created separate Hallmark Christmas movies, Hallmark Hall of Fame's "The Christmas Train" and "Christmas in Evergreen".

When I interviewed Ashley Williams in the Fall of 2016, she expressed a great desire to have the opportunity to work with her sister. Plans then were only in their infancy... very early, beginning stages, but even still, Ashley was quite enthusiastic over the prospect!

IMDB summarizes these upcoming movies, with the working title: "Lights, Camera, Christmas," as "Two sisters and a holiday to remember."

According to ibtimes.com:

“My sister and I are developing a pair of Christmas movies,” Williams-Paisley told International Business Times. While she’s not sure exactly when the movies will debut, she does know that the movies have a really “interesting concept.”

There will be two films, both starring Williams-Paisley and Williams, with each featuring a different sister as the lead “and then we’re each other’s supporting,” the “Darrow & Darrow” star revealed to IBT. She’s excited about this concept, which Hallmark hasn’t really done before, and hopes fans will get to (see) them “at some point in the next couple of years.”

So... since Kimberly said we may "get to (see) them at some point in the next couple of years,” it sounds like these two Christmas movies are still in the development phase, which is unfortunate because I know many have been looking forward to seeing these movies since that first hint was given! Until they do come, I know we'll be sure to keep a look-out for them and the Williams sisters in hopefully more Hallmark movie projects, including Kimberly Williams-Paisley in a new Darrow & Darrow mystery movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

Joyful Blessings to you all, Net

Storyline via INSP: County Line stars Tom Wopat (The Dukes of Hazzard, Longmire, Django Unchained) as Alden Rockwell, a former sheriff who is left with many questions and no answers when his best friend and neighboring county sheriff, Clint Thorne, played by Jeff Fahey (Texas Rising, Justified, Lost, Under the Dome), is brutally gunned down. After the investigation stalls and Alden’s replacement, Sheriff Preston (Grant Goodeve - Eight is Enough, Dynasty, Twin Peaks) turns a blind eye, Alden takes the case into his own hands.

In the Key of Murder

Storyline via Hallmark: A simple offer of legal advice turns into the biggest challenge of Claire Darrow's (Kimberly Williams-Paisley, "Father of the Bride" and "The Christmas Train") legal career when her new beau, District Attorney Miles Strasberg (Tom Cavanagh, "Ed" and "Trading Christmas"), introduces her to his younger half-sister, Phoebe (MacKenzie Porter, "Guess Who's Coming to Christmas"). A singer who has just completed her first album, Phoebe fears that she may have signed away her rights to... click here to read more...

*This all new Darrow & Darrow mystery also stars Geoff Gustafson, who portrays Norman Dorman in Hallmark's beloved mystery series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." (By the way, in case you haven't heard, the next all new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie is coming in July to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!)

In the meantime...
See the premiere of
Darrow & Darrow: In the Key of Murder

Sunday MAY 6, 2018

at 7pm/6c. on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
EARLIER TIME!

*Please Note: I have not previewed these movies above. I do expect there to be some violence included in "County Line" and "Darrow & Darrow: In the Key of Murder." Please check ratings before viewing.

It's amazing how many stars featured in these movies above - came from so many popular television series from yesteryear and today, too. Did you ever watch shows like "Dukes of Hazzard," "Eight is Enough," or "Home Improvement?" I know I've personally watched plenty of these in reruns through the years... the classics always stand the test of time! In fact, there's even been talk of a "Home Improvement" re-boot, (Is that Tim Taylor's grunt I hear?) but we shall see.... there are also rumors of Tim Allen's "Last Man Sanding" coming back, too, so... who knows which TV shows will return again!

Hope you all enjoy these three new movies from these three various channels - this weekend!

Blessings to you all, Net
