If you’ve been watching the Hallmark Channel this holiday season, and I’m sure you have, then you must have seen the network advertisements hosted by Candace Cameron Bure and Jill Wagner that encourage you to countdown to Christmas with the Hallmark family as they premiere all of their new original Christmas movies. You’ve seen them, right? Good.  Okay, so, let’s talk fashion.

Candace looks super chic in a black Acler ‘Soto’ Dress ($420 at ShopAcler.com). I love the flared wrist detail and draped gathering throughout the design.

You may think it’s too simple for the holidays, but look at how it balances with the tights!

If you’re an avid watcher of Hallmark movies, especially the ones at Christmas, you might be thrilled to know that the network listened to our musical pleas and released the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas Album, a venture between Hallmark Channel and Warner Music Nashville. The festive soundtrack contains both previously released tracks and original Christmas songs, many of which were written and composed for Hallmark Channel, the undisputed leader in holiday programming.

Hallmark Channel’s Christmas Album is available now wherever music is streamed!

There’s a new Christmas movie streaming on Netflix called “Holiday Rush” about a fired radio DJ who moves in with his aunt, bringing along his four spoiled children.

La La Anthony plays the role of his deceased wife in flashback scenes, and for one Christmas memory we get a look at her wearing a fun and festive cardigan. She wore the Christmas Graphic Knitted Tunic Draped Cardigan, which is currently available at Amazon.com.

Stay merry!

Check out the lineup of the movies coming to the network this Christmas.

Christmas Belles – November 30
Starring: Raven Goodwin, DomiNque Perry, Omar Gooding, Mark Taylor, Janet Hubert and John Amos

Despite being successful in their careers, two 30-something BFFs never stop hearing that they both need a man before it’s too late. When a handsome pastor arrives just in time to kick off the Christmas season, both ladies try to make a move-but as their hilarious attempts to one up each other keep growing, it will be up to their family to remind them what the holiday season is truly about.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! To all of my fellow holiday lovers celebrating, I wish you a wonderful day with loved ones filled with joy, love and lots of pie!

Time for me to go watch the 2019 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and then I’ll be with my family for the rest of the day before ending my evening with some Hallmark & Lifetime Christmas movies.

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving?

 Stay merry (and Gobble Gobble)!

There’s a new Christmas move coming to the Showtime Women’s Network called “My Best Friend’s Christmas”, previously titled: “Crashing Christmas”, starring Breanne Hill, Colton Little, Tanner Novlan, Masiela Lusha, Beth Broderick and Autumn Federici.

The movie is aout a woman who returns home to find her ex in a relationship, so she enlists her best friend to act as her fake boyfriend.

A few weeks ago when I was browsing Instagram, I saw some behind-the-scenes photos and noticed the sweater Federici’s character, Gwen, was wearing and thought I’d share with all of you!

She’s wearing the Nordstrom 1901 Fair Isle Shrunken Turtleneck Sweater in Green, which is currently on sale at Nordstrom.com. Sizes are going fast, so get yours before it’s gone!

“My Best Friend’s Christmas” airs on Showtime on December 3, 2019!

Stay merry!

Guess what this week is? I’ll tell you — it’s premiere week for Hallmark Channel’s The Christmas Club starring Cameron Mathison and Elizabeth Mitchell. This heart-warming story about a random act of kindness and the irresistible pull of love was based off the novella by best-selling author Barbara Hinske, and this month has been a treat in getting an in-depth look behind the writing of the story thanks to an exclusive Q&A with Hinske and a guest blog where she explained how a homily lead her on this journey.

In her second guest blog, Hinske shares some tidbits about what it was like when she went to the set of the Hallmark Channel original movie and watched her novella come to life on the small screen!

The Christmas Club: Behind the Scenes

The Christmas Club, my Christmas novella, was purchased by Crown Media and made into a 2019 Hallmark Channel Christmas movie. I’ve written about what a dream come true that was here. As if having my story made into a Hallmark Christmas movie wasn’t enough, my husband and I got to spend a week on location during filming. That was an experience I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. In addition to every single cast and crew member being extremely professional, warm, welcoming, and downright kind, here are my “best of” moments:

We’re in the merry midst of Christmas movie premieres but, we can still talk about what’s coming next holiday season, right? I can’t tell you how many emails I received from fans wanting Brennan Elliott in a new Hallmark Christmas movie, and I’m thrilled to share that he will be… in 2020!

The network favorite shared on Instagram over the weekend that he would soon head to Vienna, Austria to begin filming Christmas in Vienna with Sarah Drew (Lifetime’s “Twinkle All the Way”).
