🔎 Nikki DeLoach & Andrew Walker Announce New "Curious Caterer Mystery"

Mystery fans, get ready for more sleuthing, suspicious clues, and puzzles to solve!

In case you missed it, during Hallmark’s four-night Christmas Cruise event this past weekend, Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker announced during a Q&A panel that a NEW "Curious Caterer" mystery movie is coming in 2027! Even better, filming is set to begin very soon on this sixth installment - from October 30th through November 18th! The working title is "Prime Cut: A Curious Caterer Mystery"!

Prime Cut is the 8th book in Diane Mott Davidson’s Goldy Culinary Mysteries series, which inspired Hallmark’s Curious Caterer movies! If the new movie follows the book, Goldy may find herself in quite a pickle! She’s facing serious financial troubles and career pressure, all while dealing with a kitchen remodel gone wrong and a cutthroat rival. Sounds like Goldy will have plenty to juggle as she tries to get to the bottom of another mystery!

Once again, Nikki DeLoach stars as Goldy Berry, a caterer with a knack for stumbling into mysteries, while Andrew Walker plays Detective Tom Schultz. Somehow, these two always find themselves working together, and while Goldy may be an amateur sleuth, she has excellent instincts and a way of noticing the little details that others might miss.

I’m so excited to see what new mystery awaits Goldy and Tom next!

The previous films in this series are:

Curious Caterer: Dying for Chocolate (2022)

Curious Caterer: Grilling Season (2023)

Curious Caterer: Fatal Vows (2023)

Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans (2024)

Curious Caterer: Forbidden Fruit (2024)

You can watch these movies by streaming on Hallmark+ (click here), or the first three "Curious Caterer" movies are available on DVD (click here).

Happy Sleuthing!

Audrey agrees to stay for one last festive season at Wonderlanes and decides to revive its iconic Winter Wonderlanes youth bowling tournament. To drum up publicity for the event, she reluctantly partners with Jason Miller (Lo Presti), a local news reporter and her high school boyfriend. While the two work side by side, the embers of their past start flickering, rekindling feelings they thought they left behind. As the tournament draws near, Audrey questions her next move that will take her away from the people and places she loves… and decides if she’s ready to walk away from Wonderlanes – or finally put down roots where her heart truly belongs.

Storyline: Kathryn Liu (Parrish) is an antiques buyer for her father’s store and has been happily dating Rob Ashford (Lissing) for nearly a year. When he surprises her with a pre-Christmas proposal, her fear of a failed relationship sends her dashing away without giving him an answer. Heartbroken, Rob drives to his sister’s house and has a car accident that leaves him without memories of the past year, including his relationship with Kathryn and his once-infectious love of Christmas. Following the unconventional orders from his doctor, Kathryn agrees to help trigger Rob’s memory by retracing their romance and reintroducing him to the holidays. But as his memories inch closer to returning, Kathryn must face the painful truth that bringing Rob back to himself may mean losing him forever, unless she can finally find the courage to fight for the love she was too afraid to claim.

What If Christmas

Storyline: Erin (Loughlin) has always supported her husband Adam (Cavanagh), a heart surgeon, by organizing the hospitals’ Christmas charity galas. However, when he moves to a new hospital, her help is no longer needed. Feeling lost and without a purpose back in New York City, her long-suppressed regrets over giving up her dream of pursuing fashion design start bubbling up. When Erin is given a peculiar heart-shaped Christmas ornament, she wakes up in an alternate reality where she’s a world-famous fashion designer. As she “meets” and attends Christmas events with alternate-universe Adam, she realizes that while her fashion dreams came true, it’s lonely at the top. While working on a way to bring more charity and heart to her fashion empire, she learns that her dream life and love were always right in front of her – if only she finds the heart and courage to ask.

🌟 SHINING HIS LIGHT: 🌟

With "A Christmas Prayer Tradition" premiering this weekend, I thought this would be a meaningful time to share The Lord's Prayer...

"After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done in earth,

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

and the glory, for ever. Amen."

~Matthew 6:9-13
