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!

Kellie Pickler returned to the Hallmark Channel this holiday season with Tyler Hynes in “The Mistletoe Secret”, a sweet festive story set in a small town and wrapped in a little mystery. In the movie, Kellie plays Aria Eubank whose hometown is selected for feature story by travel writer, Sterling Masters (Christopher Russell), but little does she know that the voice behind her favorite adventurer is not quite who she thinks.

Aria sticks to cute and cozy winter wear in this film, but that didn’t stop her from having quite the show-stopping moment for a holiday party or two! Check out some of the fashion highlights below.

It looks like production is underway for the third installment of Hallmark’s Graceland film series! Last year, Kellie Pickler and Wes Brown starred in “Christmas at Graceland” as exes who reunite during the holiday season at Elvis Presley’s former home, Graceland. The success of the film paved the way for a sequel, “Wedding at Graceland”, which Pickler and Brown returned for; it premiere last month during Hallmark Channel’s June Weddings programming.

While it was previously speculated that the third film would reunite Pickler and Brown once again, it appears that Adrian Grenier (HBO’s “Entourage”) and Kaitlin Doubleday (FOX’s “Empire”) will lead “Christmas at Graceland 2”, which will have an original story and not be a continuance of the previous installments.

Commercial Appeal has announced that filming will begin on July 18 and wrap in August, according to Ryan Westheimer, the film’s co-producer who served in the same role for the previous films.

The plot of this new movie will find Doubleday’s character as a Graceland tour guide who meets Griener’s character, who asks her to nanny his three children. She accepts and stays at his guesthouse and, as you can imagine, the pair develop romantic feelings for one another.

It is Hallmark, after all.

“Christmas at Graceland 2” will premiere on Hallmark Channel during the annual Countdown to Christmas, which is set to kick off the last week of October.

Stay merry!

Following the success of last year’s original movie “Christmas at Graceland”, starring Kellie Pickler and Wes Brown as Laurel and Clay — former Memphis sweethearts who rekindled their romance during the most wonderful time of the year at Elvis Presley‘s mansion — Crown Media Family Networks have ordered two more sequels set to air this year.

“Wedding at Graceland” finds Laurel (Pickler) accepting Clay’s (Brown) marriage proposal only to discover they can get married at the Graceland Chapel in three weeks or wait 18 months for the next opening. In addition when Laurel and Clay’s family meet the two families discover they are more different than alike.

As Christmas music and a crackling fire set the mood, Kellie Pickler took on hosting duties once more as she hosted Hallmark Channel’s “2018 Countdown to Christmas Preview Special” over the weekend.

Both Kellie and Lacey Chabert gave us sneak peeks over the past few months as they hosted separate preview specials for the network, but with the slate of highly-anticipated holiday programming kicking off THIS FRIDAY, I think it’s safe to say this hour-long special was the final step in our journey on the Countdown to Christmas! I’m so excited–is it Friday yet?!

As with my previous recaps, I’ve included the scoop on the movies spotlighted during the special.

With 37 original Christmas movies on the way, it’s no wonder Hallmark is airing so many preview specials to increase our excitement! You won’t hear me complaining–I can’t get enough!

After hosting the Christmas: A Second Look Preview Special last month, Kellie Pickler (“Christmas at Graceland”) is returning to bring viewers the 2018 Countdown to Christmas Preview Special.

This special sneak peek with give us one last first-look at the upcoming movies that are part of Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas”, the award-winning #1 holiday programming event, which kicks off on October 26th and runs through the end of the year.

Kellie Pickler is making her Hallmark Channel debut during Countdown to Christmas 2018 starring as Laurel in “Christmas at Graceland” (premieres November 17th!), which was filmed on location at Elvis Presley‘s former home -aka- Memphis, Tennessee’s most popular attraction.

For a performance scene, Laurel hits the stage wearing a beautiful tea-length red dress with a bateau neckline and an a-line silhouette that’s quintessential holiday cocktail attire. I imagine many will be looking for a dress just like this for an upcoming festive event, and guess what? I found it!

She wore the Adrianna Papell Sleeveless V-Back Tea Length Dress, which is sold out in many places already, but I saw it still in stock at NewYorkersApparel.com. (FYI: It has pockets!!)
