Countdown to Christmas viewers who fell in love with the movie, “Christmas in Evergreen” when it premiered last year on the Hallmark Channel will be happy to know that a sequel is in the works—and it’s premiering this year!

“Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa” is set to debut during the networks holiday programming this holiday season, and several of the stars of the first film will be back–including: Ashley Williams, Holly Robinson Peete, and Barbara Niven as well as new faces Jill Wagner and Mark Deklin.

Country Living reports that the sequel will take us back to the fictional small town of Evergreen as we follow Lisa (Jill Wagner), who is busy repairing the community’s abandoned General Store ahead of the holidays. With a little help from the rest of the townspeople, she’ll deliver a special, lost letter to the North Pole while trying to restore the Christmas spirit in her Vermont village. The inspiration of Evergreen, Vermont is based on Hallmark artist Geoff Greenleaf‘s Christmas illustrations.

Stay merry!
