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.

Lacey Chabert brought the spirit of Christmas into the summer season by celebrating Christmas in July and hosting Hallmark Channel’s “Christmas: A First Look” Preview Special. The annual sneak peek show gave us a look at some of the original movies coming to the network during the 10th Anniversary of Countdown to Christmas, which officially kicks off on Friday, October 25th!

During the special, Chabert was joined by network pet ambassador, Happy the Dog, and “Home & Family” pet rescue expert Larissa Wohl — who brought along some kittens and puppies as she explained Hallmark Channel’s pet rescue initiative, “Adoption Ever After”. Learn more here!
