According to ET Online, Hallmark Channel fan-favorite Jill Wagner will return for an all-new movie that’s set to premiere during the 10th anniversary of the network’s beloved holiday programming, Countdown to Christmas.
Wagner will lead “Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses” alongside Matthew Davis, best known for his roles on The CW’s “The Vampire Diaries” and its spin-off “Legacies”, as well as television icon Donna Mills (“Knots Landing”, “General Hospital”).
The movie focuses on Wagner’s character, a single mom named Abbey who takes a leap of faith to pursue her passion for interior design. After landing a possible career-advancing job decorating the estate of a local businessman Nick Sinclair (played by Davis), Abbey learns that she must complete the job by Christmas Eve. How will she balance the fast approaching holiday and deadline while managing to break down the wall between her and Nick?
We’ll have to tune-in this holiday season to find out!
Mills, who previously starred in “12 Gifts of Christmas” (2015), will play the role of Nick’s mother.
While it will be a Hallmark debut for Davis, this film marks Wagner’s fourth Christmas movie for the network; she previously starred in “Christmas Cookies” (2016), “Maggie’s Christmas Miracle” (2017) and “Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa” (2018).
Stay merry!
