To celebrate the Christmas in July event on Hallmark Channel, the network has been doing things a little differently this year and giving us a more in-depth peek at the original holiday movies coming to the Countdown to Christmas lineup later this year! We don’t usually get a first look at the movies while they’re in production, so this is exciting.

On their official YouTube channel, Hallmark went on set of “A Christmas Disconnect” with its stars Marisol Nichols and Kristoffer Polaha as they shared a bit about the storyline behind their film.

Directed by Paul Ziller from a screenplay by Nicole Baxter, “A Christmas Disconnect” tells the story of a married couple (Nichols, Polaha) having a hard time connecting, so they check into a cozy inn a small town called Gracious, Vermont during the holiday season to try and reconnect.

We could not be more excited to share the latest Hallmark Channel holiday movie news with you!

The network has revealed that a Christmas movie featuring the Radio City Rockettes will be premiering later this year, as part of the 2022 Countdown to Chritsmas programming event!  Actors of the stage and screen are set to star “A Holiday Spectacular”, which will be filmed partially on the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City, including Ginna Claire Mason (Wicked), Tony Award-nominated Derek Klena (Jagged Little Pill), Academy Award-nominated entertainer Ann-Margret (Carnal Knowledge), and Eve Plumb (The Brady Bunch).

The story is set in 1958 when a Philadelphia heiress named Maggie (Mason) puts her high-society wedding plans, to a man she doesn’t love, on hold in order to sneak up to New York City and make her secret dream come true: dancing live on stage in the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. While her family thinks she’s staying in New York City with an “approved” friend from boarding school, Maggie is living a completely different life than she’s ever known. She falls in love with New York and dancing with the Rockettes. Maggie soon feels caught between two worlds, made even more complicated by her chance encounter with young U.S. Navy photographer John (Klena). Will Maggie find the courage to tell her family what she wants for her future instead of accepting the future that was decided for her?

The Rockettes were choreographed by their director and choreographer, Julie Branam, who works with them for the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, and the dancers will also appear throughout the film in various performance numbers and speaking roles.
