We’ve been hearing about a double Christmas movie starring real-life sisters (and Hallmark faves!) Ashley Williams (“Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater”) and Kimberly Williams-Paisley (“Darrow Mysteries,” Father of the Bride) since, at least 2018, and now it’s officially in the works with air-dates set for this holiday season!

Crown Media announced today that the sisters have teamed up to executive produce two all-new original holiday movies movies, “Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday” and “Sister Swap: Christmas in the City,“ premiering this year during the annual (and iconic) Countdown to Christmas programming event on Hallmark Channel.

In the movies, Jennifer (Williams-Paisley) and Meg Swift (Williams) are sisters who couldn’t be closer despite living hours apart. Jennifer is in Salt Lake City, running a successful restaurant she started with her late husband and raising her teenaged son Simon (Jacob Buster, “Christmas Wonderland,” “Ballers”). Meg stayed in their hometown of Hazelwood, helping their parents run the local bakery. This Christmas is the family’s first since the passing of Uncle Dave (Kevin Nealon, “Man with a Plan,” “Weeds”) who owned the town’s beloved theater, The Madison, where many memories were made over the years.

Kurt Russell has landed his jolliest role yet — Santa Claus!

The iconic actor is headed to Netflix this holiday season for “The Christmas Chronicles”, from director Clay Kaytis (“The Angry Birds Movie”) and produced by Chris Columbus (“Home Alone”, and the first two ‘Harry Potter’ films).

In ‘Chronicles’, siblings Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis) hatch a scheme to capture Santa Claus (Russell) on Christmas Eve. When the plan goes awry, the kids join forces with a somewhat jolly Saint Nick and his loyal elves to save the holiday before it’s too late.
