We finally got some more information on the upcoming Blake Shelton-produced movie for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries — the sequel to last year’s “Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas”.

Entertainment Tonight revealed that Alison Sweeney (Days of Our Lives, Murder, She Baked, The Chronicle Mysteries) and Lucas Bryant (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will take on the leading roles in “Time for You to Come Home for Christmas”!

Sweeney will star as recent widow Katherine who, along with her son, Will, returns to her hometown to spend Christmas with family. On the train to Virginia, Katherine meets Jack (Bryant), a veteran on his own holiday journey. Katherine and Jack part ways, only to discover they had the same destination. While volunteering for the local Christmas dance, a fundraiser for military families, the two grow closer. But Katherine struggles to move on from her late husband and Jack is focused on a mysterious mission that brought him to town. As Christmas nears, the two learn of a hidden connection that may be the Christmas miracle they were looking for.

As you can see, the plot is very similar to its predecessor; the 2018 film starred Josh Henderson and Megan Park and was based on Shelton’s 2012 holiday song, “Time for Me to Come Home,” which was turned into a festive novel by Shelton’s mother, Dorothy Shackleford, and published in 2013.

“Time for You to Come Home for Christmas” is slated for a December 6th premiere on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries at 9pm/8c for its Miracles of Christmas 2019 holiday programming event.

Sweeney has previously starred in the Hallmark holiday movies: “Christmas at Holly Lodge” (2017) and “Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery” (2015), and while this will be Bryant’s first Christmas movie for the network, he has previously starred in “Country at Heart” (2019), “Tulips in Spring” (2016) and “Summer Love” (2016).

Stay merry!
