It was a weekend filled with Christmas cheer when Hallmark Channel aired the 2020 Countdown to Christmas Preview Special, hosted by Candace Cameron Bure, on Saturday before premiering the 2020 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special the next night on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

“USS Christmas” stars, Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan, took over hosting duties this time around and brought us several sneak peeks of festive and uplifting all-new original stories that are coming to the network this holiday season; they were even joined by Trevor’s three adorable dogs as the opened the envelopes that revealed the titles of each movie.

Check out the breakdown of the movies features in this year’s Miracles of Christmas special, and watch the show for yourself by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page, but hurry, the special won’t be running on the Hallmark website for too long.

Jen Lilley is hosting her first Hallmark Christmas special alongside her “USS Christmas” co-star Trevor Donovan! The two will give viewers a sneak preview of all-new movies coming to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this holiday season with the 2020 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special!

The special airs this weekend and some of the promotional photos have been released, so we get a great view of the festive fashion the two actors will be donning. They were both styled by Erin Noël and looked seasonally sensational; Trevor wore a burgundy dinner jacket and black slacks off-set by a white shirt and polished off with patent and velvet shoes (see below).

Jen wore a gorgeous peacock green A.L.C. ‘Isabella’ Mockneck Silk Dress with billowing sleeves and ruching at the hip. This dress is still available at ALCltd.com for $750.

Due to the unprecedented year we’ve been having, and the altered schedules, we didn’t have our usual Christmas: A First Look Preview Special on Hallmark back in July during Christmas Keepsake Week, so it’s certainly been a question of when we’d finally get that official first look. Hallmark movies have been in production for a few weeks now, so it was anticipated we’d get a preview special closer to the kickoff of the holiday programming on October 23rd, and if what I stumbled across on the Hallmark website is correct…we will be.

According to Hallmark’s website, Candace Cameron Bure will host the 2020 Countdown to Christmas Preview Special, a one-hour preview of Hallmark Channel’s upcoming Countdown to Christmas holiday movies on Saturday, October 17th at 11pm/10c.

2020 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special, a first look at the upcoming Miracles of Christmas original holiday movies on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, will air the following evening on Sunday, October 18th at 11pm/10c. The host is currently listed as TBA (To Be Announced).

(Update: 9/22/20) — The 2020 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special will be hosted by Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan as they have an upcoming Christmas movie together!

It could end up being like last year where Candace hosted both specials — time will tell — but it’s nice to see a little bit of our festive routine back. I’ll keep you posted on further details.

Stay merry!
