Chaley Rose and Rome Flynn star in the new Hallmark Channel movie, “A Christmas Duet”, as a former music group (and couple!) who are reunited at Christmas years after ending their relationship.

Averie Davis (Rose) wears a beautiful burgundy Burberry ‘Gibbsmoore’ Funnel Collar Trench Coat with cool grommet belt detail at the waist and wrists.  Unfortunately, this coat is sold out, but I found a cool lookalike with this Michael Kors look.

(Updated on 12/11/19) I caught up with the costume designer, Barbara Gregusova, who shared the scoop on some other items worn in the movie that I’ve worked into this post!

Nikki DeLoach returns to Hallmark this Christmas with “Two Turtle Doves”, opposite Michael Rady, a heart-warming tale set for the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network. In the film, Dr. Sharon Hayes (DeLoach) returns home to search for a beloved family heirloom. With the help of an adorable little girl and her dispirited father (Rady), together they rediscover the magic of Christmas.

I haven’t gotten an in-depth look at much of the fashion from this movie yet, but I couldn’t help but notice the pretty printed scarf Sharon wears in a decorating scene. It’s a very festive scarf because it can take to straight from Christmas through Valentine’s Day due to it’s fun heart pattern.

She’s wearing the V. Fraas Heart-Print Plaid Scarf — available for $32 at Macys.com!

“Two Turtle Doves” premieres November 1, 2019 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

Stay merry!

Like you, I’m eagerly awaiting all 40 of the new Christmas movies coming to Hallmark this year–and the first to air will be “A Merry Christmas Match” for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as part of the Miracles of Christmas lineup; it stars Ashley Newbrough and Kyle Dean Massey.

Pictures from the movies came out a few weeks ago and I just knew I had to share some festive fashion from the the movie–right away. I plan on updating this post after the movie airs but, in the meantime, check out this stylish sneak peek!

This first look feels like it it won’t be seen until the end of the movie but, it’s heavily shown in the promos so, I just knew it had to be the first dress to talk about! Newbrough’s character, Corey, looks seasonally stylish in a burgundy open back cocktail dress.

Jill Wagner and Matthew Davis will kick off the new movies coming to Hallmark Channel’s 10th Anniversary of Countdown to Christmas with the premiere of “Christmas Wishes & Mistletoe Kisses”. In the heart-warming romantic tale, Wagner plays Abbey, a single mom and interior designer who is hired by Nick (Davis) to decorate his estate by Christmas Eve.

When Hallmark went behind the scenes of the movie and Wagner talked about Abbey’s gorgeous gown in the movie, I knew I had to find it — and I did!  Abbey wears a striking off-the-shoulder deep green creation with ruffles traveling down the back making it the ultimate Christmas Eve gown!

Candace Cameron Bure, once again, filled our evening with holiday spirit as she hosted the 2019 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!  The network star stood before gorgeous Christmas decor, courtesy of Balsam Hill, and took us on a journey of Christmas magic with sneak peek of several original heart-warming movies that will be premiering this season.

Home & Family’s animal expert Larissa Wohl also stopped by with three pups (named Dasher, Prancer and Vixen!) as she explained Hallmark’s Adopt-a-Pet initiative, Adoption Ever After.

There’s nothing like new Christmas movie news to kick off your week, am I right? Do you enjoy renting, buying or watching movies through Vudu? If so, you’ll be happy to hear about “Christmas on the Range” starring Erin Cahill (“Last Vermont Christmas”), Nicholas Gonzalez (“The Good Doctor”), A Martinez (“Days of Our Lives”) and Lindsay Wagner (“The Bionic Woman”)!

Synopsis: After three years of hard work, Kendall Riley (Cahill) is finally about to succeed in turning her family ranch into a farm producing organic beef. But Kendall is opposed every step of the way by her neighboring rancher Brick McCree (Martinez), who deeply resents Kendall for reasons no one understands. When Brick’s estranged son Clint (Gonzalez) returns for the holidays, he and Kendall hit it off…which only enrages Brick more. What is the secret behind Brick’s hatred? And with the holidays approaching, is there a chance Clint and Kendall can get him to see the error of his ways?

Christmas in October is here!  It appears that Lifetime hasn’t been able to wait until their kick off date for It’s A Wonderful Lifetime holiday programming either. While it’s still the plan for the network to air 24-hour Christmas movies beginning on October 25, there have definitely been a lot of Christmas movies on nearly every day since the end of September.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been continuous festive programming but, it has been significant.

The lineup for Monday, October 21st has “A Snow Globe Christmas”, “All I Want for Christmas”, “A Very Nutty Christmas”, “A Nanny for Christmas”, “Snowed Inn Christmas”, and “Christmas Lost and Found” airing — they begin airing at 12pm/11c, by the way.

It might seem early–especially if you celebrate Halloween and are the type that likes Lifetime’s usual suspense thrillers in the month of October but, if you’re game to feel a little yuletide cheer then make sure you check out the schedule for festive programming across the board at Lolly’s 2019 Holiday TV Guide to see what’s playing and where you can see it–including Lifetime’s slate.

Stay merry!

Hallmark Channel aired the 10th Anniversary of Countdown to Christmas Preview Special last night, and it didn’t hold back on the holiday cheer! Candace Cameron Bure took on hosting duties to give us all an epic sneak peek at nearly every single movie coming to the network for the iconic holiday programming event — and she even threw in another look at Hallmark Drama‘s two special original premieres, Christmas Cookie Matchup and Project Christmas Joy.

I really enjoyed the ambiance filled with Christmas decor from Balsam Hill, which further helped me get into the spirit–not that I needed an actual boost. Home & Family‘s animal expert Larissa Wohl, once again, made an appearance to talk about Hallmark’s Adopt-a-Pet initiative, Adoption Ever After.

Check out the details of the movies that were shared throughout the special below. You can also watch the full show — details at the bottom of the post!

Tony Award-winner Kristin Chenoweth will star in her first Hallmark holiday movie this year with the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of “A Christmas Love Story,“ in which she leads alongside Scott Wolf. In the film, she plays a youth choir director who needs to write a song for the Christmas Eve show. You can expect a lot from this movie–Christmas spirit, a romantic love story, beautiful music, and if these early released production stills are any indication–a plethora of stylish holiday outfits!

It looks like Hallmark is decking the halls even earlier than originally planned!

The official Twitter pages for the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Hallmark Drama networks made a surprise announcement yesterday that holiday programming would be kicking off a week early, which means—Christmas movies begin TODAY!

You’ll be able to tune in at 7pm/6c on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries to begin watching the Miracles of Christmas 2019 slate. At 9pm/8c, HM&M will air an encore presentation of the 2017 film, “A Bramble House Christmas” starring Autumn Reeser and David Haydn-Jones.

The first premiere of the season will still be next week with “A Merry Christmas Match” starring Ashley Newbrough and Kyle Dean Massey, which debuts on Friday, October 25th at 9pm/8c.
