We wait all year for this very special time yet once December hits, it feels like it just flies by — it may be hard to believe, but this Friday, December 13th marks 12 Days ‘Til Christmas!

The Hallmark Channel is celebrating this real ‘countdown to Christmas’ by bringing some network favorite stars to share their cherished holiday memories, traditions and stories with viewers during intimate vignettes that will air during the daily Christmas programming.

Elizabeth Mitchell leads her first Hallmark holiday movie this year, alongside Cameron Mathison, in “The Christmas Club”. This heart-warming film tells the story of two strangers who are brought together during the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ after helping a woman who lost her Christmas savings. Maybe a little bit of Christmas magic is all they need.

Nola Chaters was the costume designer and shared the details of what Mitchell wore in the movie as her character, Olivia. During the most pivotal part of the movie we see Olivia wearing a cute short double-breasted grey coat by Club Monaco.

Aimee Teegardn stars in Hallmark’s only New Year’s Eve movie this year, “A New Year’s Resolution”! In this festive feature, Teegarden plays Kelly, a morning show producer who makes a resolution for the upcoming year to say ‘Yes’ more. As she crossed paths with a confirmed ‘Yes’ man (Michael Rady), Kelly finds that he might just hold the key to the biggest story of her career, and to her heart.

In the newly released sneak peek photos, I was able to identify two things that Kelly will wear in the movie, so I figured I’d get a head start and share the scoop!

Rachel Boston and Wes Brown star in Hallmark Channel’s “Check Inn to Christmas” as a new couple that must unite their rival families during Crestridge’s Centennial Christmas celebration to save their family inns from a chain resort.

In the promotional photos, Rachel wears the Rachel Parcell Bell Sleeve Sheath Dress, which is still available for $135 at RachelParcell.com! I absolutely love the bell sleeves and scarlet red shade.

(Update on 12/5/19) – Nancy Cannon worked as the costume designer on the film, and kindly shared the scoop on some other items worn in the movie that I’ve worked into this post!

Last night the third installment in the Christmas in Evergreen series  “Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy” premiered on the Hallmark Channel.  In this new story, starring Maggie Lawson and Paul Greene, Katie (Lawson) is a skeptical writer who arrives during the holiday season as the the people of our favorite holiday town searches for a rumored Christmas Time Capsule.

I did my own searching for some of the fashion from the movie–check out the results below!

If you’ve been watching the Hallmark Channel this holiday season, and I’m sure you have, then you must have seen the network advertisements hosted by Candace Cameron Bure and Jill Wagner that encourage you to countdown to Christmas with the Hallmark family as they premiere all of their new original Christmas movies. You’ve seen them, right? Good.  Okay, so, let’s talk fashion.

Candace looks super chic in a black Acler ‘Soto’ Dress ($420 at ShopAcler.com). I love the flared wrist detail and draped gathering throughout the design.

You may think it’s too simple for the holidays, but look at how it balances with the tights!

If you’re an avid watcher of Hallmark movies, especially the ones at Christmas, you might be thrilled to know that the network listened to our musical pleas and released the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas Album, a venture between Hallmark Channel and Warner Music Nashville. The festive soundtrack contains both previously released tracks and original Christmas songs, many of which were written and composed for Hallmark Channel, the undisputed leader in holiday programming.

Hallmark Channel’s Christmas Album is available now wherever music is streamed!

Check out the tracklisting below!

Guess what this week is? I’ll tell you — it’s premiere week for Hallmark Channel’s The Christmas Club starring Cameron Mathison and Elizabeth Mitchell. This heart-warming story about a random act of kindness and the irresistible pull of love was based off the novella by best-selling author Barbara Hinske, and this month has been a treat in getting an in-depth look behind the writing of the story thanks to an exclusive Q&A with Hinske and a guest blog where she explained how a homily lead her on this journey.

In her second guest blog, Hinske shares some tidbits about what it was like when she went to the set of the Hallmark Channel original movie and watched her novella come to life on the small screen!

The Christmas Club: Behind the Scenes

The Christmas Club, my Christmas novella, was purchased by Crown Media and made into a 2019 Hallmark Channel Christmas movie. I’ve written about what a dream come true that was here. As if having my story made into a Hallmark Christmas movie wasn’t enough, my husband and I got to spend a week on location during filming. That was an experience I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. In addition to every single cast and crew member being extremely professional, warm, welcoming, and downright kind, here are my “best of” moments:

We’re in the merry midst of Christmas movie premieres but, we can still talk about what’s coming next holiday season, right? I can’t tell you how many emails I received from fans wanting Brennan Elliott in a new Hallmark Christmas movie, and I’m thrilled to share that he will be… in 2020!

The network favorite shared on Instagram over the weekend that he would soon head to Vienna, Austria to begin filming Christmas in Vienna with Sarah Drew (Lifetime’s “Twinkle All the Way”).

The Christmas Club, starring Cameron Mathison and Elizabeth Mitchell, is one of the 40 original holiday movies premiering during Hallmark’s iconic Christmas programming event during ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ and it’s based off of a novella by author Barbara Hinske.

This touching story tells the tale of two strangers who show a random act of kindness to a woman who loses her Christmas savings, and as fate would have it, find the love they were both missing.

Earlier this week, I featured a Q&A I conducted with Hinske to celebrate The Christmas Club [read it here!], which premieres on November 27th on the Hallmark Channel, and Hinske has also stepped in to share a couple of guest blogs that I will feature now and next week.  Check out the first post below!
