In an exclusive announcement from Deadline back in October, Freeform has greenlit “Ghosting” — an upcoming holiday movie slated for the 2019 season.

Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky will serve as executive producers, along with Joan Rater and Tony Phelan, for the film that stars Aisha Dee (“The Bold Type”), Kimiko Glenn (“The Guest Book”), Kendrick Sampson (“How to Get Away with Murder”) and Missi Pyle (“Mom”).

As reported by Deadline, the quirky and heart-warming story follows Jess (Dee), who goes on the greatest first date of her life, but inadvertently ‘ghosts’ Ben (Sampson) when she tragically dies in a car accident on the way home. Stuck on Earth, with no idea how to ascend, Jess will need the help of her best friend Kara (Glenn), the only person who can still see and hear her.

To be honest, the plot sounds a bit too sad for Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas jolly programming but, considering it’s slated for their holiday season, we might see its premiere during the Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas lineup that begins late November.

Stay merry!

Merry Christmas …again!

Today is Little Christmas, also known as the Feast of the Epiphany! I hope the last 12 days of your season have been joyful, and I wish you and your loved ones a blessed holiday celebrating the journey to honor the birth of our Savior. 🌟

Stay merry!

Here you will find a comprehensive list of all the holiday movies, specials and episodes that will be airing on US television during the Christmas season (and throughout the year!). Air dates are listed where possible, but if you see TBD (To Be Determined) then keep checking back to see when an air-date and time become available.

Please Note: This list will continue to be updated throughout the season, so please keep checking back!  Some networks (i.e. Hallmark, Lifetime & UPtv) will air their own original Christmas movies 24-hours a day with air-times that can change sporadically so, for those networks, I will include a link to their daily programming schedule to avoid making this post 3 miles long!

• If you’re a Canadian resident: W Network will air several of Hallmark’s new Christmas movies — click here for the daily schedule.  If you’re in the UK: Sony Movie Christmas Channel will air holiday movies 24/7, click here for more info.

FYI: Christmas original movies from streaming services like Netflix are available 365 days a year, so keep in mind the films that premiered last year are still streaming!

✨ Happy New Year! ✨ It’s still 2018 where I live, but I’m off to celebrate the rest of New Year’s Eve with my loved ones, so I wanted to send you all happy wishes for a spectacular 2019!

It’s also still the Christmas season for me,because I celebrate the Epiphany on January 6th, and I just LOVE carrying the holiday celebration in the new year. I wish you all a jolly 2019! 🍾🥂

Stay merry!

I was watching “Last Vermont Christmas” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries recently when I noticed that Rachel Rhodes-Devey was wearing a very familiar blouse.  The actress, who plays the role of Bethany in the original holiday movie, wore the green H&M Polka Dot Ruffle Blouse.

If you’ve been following my fashion recaps, or watching a lot of Christmas TV movies this lately, you might recall that both Emily Osment and Tatyana Ali wore this top in their holiday films this year.

This top is still available at HM.com — on sale for under $20, but they’re selling out fast!

Stay merry!

Jerrika Hinton made her Hallmark Channel movie debut this season in “A Majestic Christmas”, where she plays an architect named Nell who returns to her hometown to turn a historic, and beloved, playhouse into a modern multiplex, and let’s just say the town — and the new playhouse owner, Connor (Christian Vincent), are not pleased.

For her wintry outwear, Nell wears a MICHAEL Michael Kors Short Packable Puffer Hooded Down Jacket with a metallic finish.  I haven’t been able to track down this exact color, but I did find it in red, white, black and navy at Zalando.co.uk for £149.99 (190.43 USD).

I recently saw “Small Town Christmas”, one of the new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries holiday movies. The film stars Ashley Newbrough as Nell, an author who visits the town of Springdale during the holidays while on her book tour, and is reunited with Emmett (Kristoffer Polaha), a man she met years ago while they were both junior copy editors in New York City.

I really liked this blue coat that Nell wears pretty early in the film, so I had to track it down.

Tia Mowry-Hardrict lead her first Hallmark Christmas movie this year called “A Gingerbread Romance”, and it was really sweet – pun intended! She plays the role of an architect, Taylor, who enters a life-size gingerbread house contest and enlists the help of a local baker (Duane Henry).

I noticed right away that Taylor was wearing the beautiful olive green coat that I saw on Jill Wagner‘s character from “Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa”. The exact coat is the ZARA Masculine Double-Breasted Coat, and it’s still available in both green and cream at Zara.com for $150.

Jodie Sweetin returned to the Hallmark Channel this holiday season for “Entertaining Christmas” where she stars as Candace Livingstone, the child of an iconic cookbook author, crafting expert and television personality extraordinaire, who is contemplating retirement and has Candace in mind to take over her brand. The downside? Candace can’t do the things her mother is famous for. The movie is funny, cute, and there’s definitely budding romance… it is Hallmark, after all.

In the movie we see Candace wearing a plethora of pretty holiday looks, including a few dresses and one stellar coat that I’ve included below.

Greetings!

Tonight is the first day of Kwanzaa, so I want to wish those who celebrate a very JOYOUS KWANZAA! May your seven nights of celebration be filled with love and umoja (unity). ❤️🖤💚 #StayMerry

Stay merry!
