Today marks #4MonthsUntilChristmas, and we’re very excited about it in this household… and super overwhelmed because we moved this year and have a lot of our Christmas decorations in storage. We need to make a game plan of what will be taken out and what we will need for our new place!

We kinda feel like that one scene from “Home Alone” where Kevin is running around his house screaming. 😂 Wish us some merry luck!

We need a little Christmas, and Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown are back to haul out the holly to get us ready for the season with a sequel to last year’s hit movie, Haul Out the Holly, which premiered during Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas lineup.

In honor of Christmas in July, Hallmark Channel shared a first look clip from Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up that is set to premiere during this year’s festive programming slate. In the clip, we see Emily (Chabert) and Jared (Brown) surrounded by their neighbors, played by Ellen Travolta, Stephen Tobolowsky, Melissa Peterman and Laura Wardle, as they react to a neighbor moving out during their annual Christmas festivities.

Hunter King, who led her first Hallmark Channel Christmas movie with last year’s “A Royal Christmas Corgi,” is returning this season with an all-new film called The Santa Summit!

King is co-starring alongside Benjamin Hollingsworth (“A Godwink Christmas”) in the movie, which tells the story of their characters returning back to their small town and reconnecting with friends to celebrate their town’s annual holiday festivities.

Filming, which took place in Winnipeg, Canada, wrapped back in April. We can look forward to it being part of Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas event later this year!

Hallmark wants you to set sail with Christmas next year by launching a first-of-its-kind opportunity for some of the most devoted fans of the network who want to spend the holiday season …at sea!

Dubbed a “floating winter wonderland,” guests can indulge in a 4-day vacation on the Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise! The partnership between the network and Sixthman, the leader in fully immersive festivals at sea for more than two decades, will bring viewers closer to the spirit of the season as they enjoy holiday festivities on the shop, see top network stars and surround themselves with yuletide cheer.

The Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise is expected to set sail on November 5th-9th, 2024 from Miami, FL to Nassau, Bahamas on the beautiful Norwegian Gem.

Everybody wants to be closer to Christmas… including former “Party Of Five” co-stars Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf, who are reuniting for an all-new Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas movie!

It has been 23 years since the two played the Salinger siblings, Claudia and Bailey, on the iconic FOX series, so it’s sure to be exciting for fans to see the two back on the screen together and, once again, playing sister and brother! Lacey and Scott will lead the original movie, “A Merry Scottish Christmas” (w/t), written by NBC Correspondent Andrea Canning and author Audrey Schulman.

In the holiday movie, which will premiere later this year, estranged siblings Lindsay (Chabert) and Brad (Wolf) travel to Scotland at Christmas to reunite with their mother Jo (Fiona Bell, “The Nest”), and a big family secret is revealed.

“Scott and I have talked for years about doing another project together. When we first read this story about these siblings at a crossroads, we both knew it was the perfect opportunity,” said Chabert.

“Working with Lacey on ‘Party of Five’ was one of my favorite experiences ever,” said Wolf. “Reuniting after all of these years to tell such a beautiful story together is a dream that I’m so glad is coming true.”  We can’t wait to watch these two ringing in the holiday season together!

This will be Lacey’s thirteenth Christmas movie for the network—her most recent being 2022’s “Haul Out the Holly,” and Scott’s second following “A Christmas Love Story” in 2019.
