Since Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is playing their weekly Christmas movie on the 25th and because I happen to love this Christmas movie, I am choosing my pick to *Mark the 25th"...

THE ANGEL TREE

Starring: Jill Wagner and Lucas Bryant

Storyline via Hallmark: A writer (Jill Wagner) seeks the identity of the person who helps grant wishes that are placed upon the angel tree, and in the process, reconnects with her childhood friend (Lucas Bryant).

My Review of "The Angel Tree":
There is something so pure and inspiring about this delightful story of giving. Immediately you find yourself caught up in the mystery of who the unidentified "angel" could be - who delivers gifts and grants wishes to their community each Christmas, based on the wishes placed at the town's outdoor Angel Tree. I personally loved the connection Jill Wagner and Lucas Bryant shared, they easily flowed together on screen and appeared to be friends from long ago, just like their characters - Rebecca McBride and Matthew Anderson. I loved Matthew's coffee shop, and the fact that his nephew, Owen, helped him out there. It was also sweet that Owen was staying with his Uncle as his mother was serving in the military. Throughout the movie, it was clever how Matthew and Owen kept coming up with cute names for various coffee flavors, but best of all... it was most fun to watch Rebecca (Jill Wagner) try to figure out who Angel is - so she can write an important article. I loved the magic, mystery, and wonder of it all!

🎅🌟🎄 Hallmark Christmas Movie News with Kevin McGarry and Erin Krakow of "When Calls the Heart," Cameron Mathison of "Home & Family" and a Star from "The Santa Clause!" 🎅🌟🎄

images: Hallmark Crown Media

What better announcement during Christmas in July, than MORE Hallmark Christmas movie news!

It had already been revealed to us, recently, that Erin Krakow and Cameron Mathison would be making Hallmark Christmas movies! In fact, Erin shared the news on social media, you may recall, with Hallmark CEO Bill Abbott, Hallmark's head of Programming & Network Publicity, Michelle Vicary and author Melissa de la Cruz, who wrote the book, Erin's new Christmas movie is based upon.

Cameron Mathison told his Home & Family viewers on Friday, July 5th. But now, ET online, has provided even more specifics, plus... they have released details on a new Hallmark Christmas movie starring Kevin McGarry (you know, the handsome new Mountie on When Calls the Heart)!

And, to top it all off, like a cherry on top of an ice cream cone, one of their co-stars has already been to the North Pole! That's Elizabeth Mitchell, Cameron Mathison's co-star, who portrayed the teacher/Mrs. Claus in The Santa Clause 2 & 3!

Here's the full scoop... (3 scoops!)


Sense, Sensibility & Snowmen

Starring: Erin Krakow (When Calls the Heart) and Luke Macfarlane (A Shoe Addict's Christmas)

Storyline via ET online: "The film centers on Christmas enthusiast party planners Ella (Krakow) and her sister, Marianne, who clash with their client, Edward (MacFarlane), who is a not-so-jolly toy company CEO."


Christmas Scavenger Hunt

Starring: Kevin McGarry (When Calls the Heart) and Kim Shaw (Rent an Elf)

Storyline via ET online: "When Belinda (Shaw) heads back to her hometown for the holidays, things get complicated when she is forced to team up with her ex, Dustin (McGarry), at the town's annual Christmas scavenger hunt."


The Christmas Club

Starring: Cameron Mathison (Home & Family, Love, of Course, Murder, She Baked) and Elizabeth Mitchell (The Santa Clause 2 & 3)

Storyline via ET online: "In The Christmas Club, based on the novel by Barbara Hinske, two busy strangers, Olivia Bennett (Mitchell) and Edward Taylor (Mathison), meet when they help an elderly woman find her lost Christmas savings. Thanks to fate and Christmas magic, they also find something they were both missing: true love.

Mitchell's Olivia is filled with Christmas spirit, whether she's with her dance students or her spirited 8-year-old daughter, Maeryn, and especially when she and Maeryn are dancing together. As a single mom and dance instructor, Olivia has no time for love and little interest to settle down. Things get even more stressful when Olivia learns the owner of the dance studio is selling it right before the annual Christmas recital.

Mathison's Edward doesn't have the fondest memories of Christmas, not since his parents split up when he was a child. After moving to the Big Apple, he's returned home for a business deal and to spend the holidays with his sister, Beth, and her family. All business all the time, a fateful encounter with Olivia spurs him to regain his childhood love of Christmas."


I don't know about you, but with Christmas in July and all of this Christmas movie news - I'm really getting into the holiday spirit! Every day, my heart rejoices that my Savior was born in Bethlehem, but to hear those well known Christmas carols like, "Hark! the herald angels sing - Glory to the new-born King..." playing in the background on any given Hallmark Christmas movie, fills my heart with overwhelming joy!

I'm so glad I left up one of my smaller Christmas trees to fully appreciate it's beauty throughout the year! Plus, I have some Christmassy pillows, too, which are perfect for cuddling up with as I watch my Hallmark Christmas movies! And... I know our dear "It's a Wonderful Movie" friend, Jim, loves having his Christmas tree and decorations up, too... as well as our precious IAWM friend, Linda, who enjoys her lighted Christmas wreath! There's nothing like the light of Christmas - to out-shine all the darkness!

Did YOU put anything Christmassy out in honor of Christmas in July - or do you have something special you've left out, since Christmas? Please share in comments below!

I sure hope you've enjoyed this recent movie update!

Joyous Blessings to ALL of my IAMW friends -

who love Christmas all year round,
as much as I do! Net
