It seems that the Hallmark Christmas event will only get bigger this year as the network tries something new with a holiday series! That’s right, Erin Cahill (“A Timeless Christmas”) and Ian Harding (“Ghosts of Christmas Always”) are reportedly starring in the upcoming show, Holidazed.

The series will follow five families living on the same Oak Bay, Oregon cul-de-sac as they celebrate the holiday season. “Holidazed,” which was filmed in British Colombia will also star Lillian Lim (“A Big Fat Family Christmas”), Barry Levy (“Christmas at Dollywood”), Tim Perez and Jacob Insley.

Stay tuned for the official air-date!

We may be heading into March, but Christmas movie magic is in the air thanks to this latest announcement from Lifetime.  The network revealed three upcoming titles that will premiere during the It’s A Wonderful Lifetime holiday programming slate later this year.

Keshia Knight Pulliam will return for her fourth holiday movie alongside real-life husband Brad James in “A New Orleans Noel”, which will co-star Tim Reid and legendary entertainer, Patti LaBelle.  Pulliam will also executive produce alongside Whoopi Goldberg.

Network favorites Jana Kramer and Mario Lopez will star in a currently untitled dance-centric movie with comedian Cheri Oteri and Lopez’s real-life wife, Courtney Lopez. Finally, Brooke Elliott — who previously led the critically acclaimed Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva, returns to star in and executive produce “A Country Christmas Harmony”. The movie also stars Brandon Quinn and Danny Pintauro. Read more about each film below!

It’s been a very busy day, but I couldn’t close out the evening without acknowledging that we hit 300 Days Until Christmas today! It’s such a good feeling because I’ve been missing the holiday season… then again, I already miss it the day after Christmas is over.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend — and I can’t wait to start celebrating the upcoming 2021 holiday season with you!

Stay merry!

Wishing you all a wonderful Valentine’s Day filled with love!  I took a small break after the holiday season, but I can’t wait to start sharing more festive posts and fun with you all soon.

In the meantime, let’s have a little jolly music to celebrate the holiday by listening to Ingrid Michaelson & Jason Mraz‘s single “Christmas Valentine” as the #LollySongOfTheDay! ❤️🎄

I hope you continue to have a very merry February!

Robbie Williams has thrown himself in the holiday music mix by releasing his first ever Christmas album, “The Christmas Present”. This new album will be a double disc album; the first disc is called ‘Christmas Past’ and focuses on classic holiday covers along with a few new tracks.

The second disc, dubbed ‘Christmas Future’, will include a merry mix of original songs and duets with Jamie Cullum, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and British professional boxer, Tyson Fury.

It’s February and ABC aired a Christmas episode of their hit drama, “How to Get Away with Murder” but, I’ll never complain about celebrating that holiday early…or late? Either way, it was fun to see a little bit of the festive season again, even if the episode wasn’t as jolly as the cast of characters would’ve like.  In this Season 5 episode (titled: 5×13 “Where Are Your Parents?”), Annalise (Viola Davis) gathered everyone together for the holidays…drama ensued but, there was some cute fashion, and that’s what I’m focusing on for this post!

First things first, the episode opens with Michaela (Aja Naomi King) decking the halls; we see a close up of her putting these adorable buffalo check “Jingle” pillows on the couch. The exact style is the THRO 14×18 Metallic Jingle Plaid Pillow, which are still available on clearance at T.J. Maxx!

It may be February, but it’s currently Christmas in Almonte, Ontario! According to Pembroke Today, Hallmark is taking advantage of the Canadian winter season to film an upcoming Christmas movie for their holiday lineup later this year.

While there’s no plot reveal just yet nor do we know which Hallmark network it will premiere on, “The Christmas Coach” is currently in production with “Christmas at Grand Valley” star Chad Connell and Erica Deutschman (“Shadowhunters”) in the starring roles.

— Updated 09/12/2019: This movie has officially been named “A Cheerful Christmas”! —

I know Christmas has been over for two months, but the fact that we’re already getting holiday movie news has me feeling like the season never left.

I’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available!

Stay merry!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! I wish you lots of love this holiday! 💝💕#StayMerry

You were probably just as sad as I was to see Hallmark’s holiday programming end this month…

But, did it really?

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas, and to celebrate the milestone, the network will air an original Christmas movie every single Friday at 8pm/7c until the countdown begins again this holiday season!

Our wishes for year-long Christmas have been granted!

This weekend, I noticed that it was Feb 25^th which means that in ten short months Christmas will be here again!  I celebrated by listening to Christmas music (more than usual).   This is the time when I begin to feel overwhelmed… wondering if I have all my planning done, but the truth is that I haven’t even finished packing away all the ornaments and other fragile décor.   All throughout January I was purchasing those nifty storage containers (in red and green of course) that were 75% off at Lowe’s.   Then I would print storage labels, reorganize my basement (this time adding craft tables around the entire basement so that I don’t have to freak out of we get any flooding), and then stack all the boxes strategically.
