That’s 4 Entertainment

Wow, this has to be one of the most exciting posts to do yet. If you’ve been following along with me on Twitter, you may have seen me posting about Christmas Con, which is coming to New Jersey for three days in early November with some of your favorite holiday movie stars!

This jolly convention, presented by That’s 4 Entertainment, has been described as Comic-Con-meets-Small-Town-Holiday-Festival. You’ll be able to buy one of a kind holiday gifts from the “Christmas Market”, visit with Santa Claus himself, and visit various celebrity booths to meet your favorite stars!

Each celebrity guest will offer professional photo ops and take place in a Q&A panel to engage with the audience. Christmas Con will also support Toys for Tots by donating gifts; feel free to participate by bringing a toy to donate.

The convention will also host special events: Alicia Witt in Concert, an Ugly Sweater Contest and a Gingerbread Wars competition — all hosted by Jonathan Bennett! Additionally, there will be a “Creating Christmas” writers panel and “Podcasting Christmas” podcaster panel.

Christmas Con will take place this November 8, 9 & 10th at the NJ Convention and Expo Center in Edison, NJ. Show hours are: Friday 5-8pm, Saturday: 10am-7pm and Sunday: 10am-5pm.

In the need of something to keep those Monday Blues away?

ET reports Nikki DeLoach and Michael Rady are both starring in their fourth Hallmark holiday movie this Christmas! The two will co-lead Hallmark Channel‘s “Two Turtle Doves”, but this isn’t the first time they’ve worked together; they recently starred in the network’s “Love to the Rescue”.

In this new holiday feature, DeLoach will play Dr. Sharon Hayes as she searches for a beloved family heirloom in a small Christmas town. When she unexpectedly discovers an adorable little girl and her disheartened father (Rady), she realizes that Christmas miracles really do happen.

This Thursday marks 12 days until Christmas Day — wow, the month flies by so fast!

It wouldn’t truly be the Countdown to Christmas on the Hallmark Channel if they didn’t celebrate it, now would it? Of course not, and that’s why this Thursday, December 13th the network will begin airing “12 Days ‘Til Christmas”, which will included special segments that air periodically between the airings of all the scheduled holiday programming.

In “Reunited at Christmas”, one of the latest Hallmark Channel movies, Samantha (played by Nikki Deloach) is facing her first Christmas without be loved Nana as her family reunites for the holidays. What should be the happiest season brings her doubt in her love life as she regrets accepting a marriage proposal and pretends to be happy about it around her family.

It was a good movie, and the style was pretty nice as well. I’m still in the midst of tracking down a few items I loved, but I thought I’d share two tops I was able to identify pretty easily.

We’re only seven weeks away from the kick off to Hallmark’s Christmas programming so, naturally, I have more movie news for you!

Network favorites Nikki DeLoach and Jen Lilley are returning this holiday season to star in in a few festive movies and, according to this exclusive scoop from ET, I think ‘yule’ love what’s in store.

Title: “Christmas Reunited”
Network: Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
Cast: Nikki Deloach and Mike Faiola

Synopsis: Samantha (DeLoach), a frazzled novelist struggling with writer’s block, heads home to her late grandmother’s home — alongside her boyfriend — to spend Christmas there. While at home with family, her grandmother’s wise words reveal the true meaning of Christmas to Samantha at a time when she most needs encouragement.

DeLoach, who previously starred in “Christmas Land” (2015) and “A Dream of Christmas” (2016), will also serve as an executive producer on the film.

Title: “Mingle All the Way”
Network: Hallmark Channel
Cast: Jen Lilley, Brant Daugherty and Lindsay Wagner

Synopsis: Molly (Lilley) is determined to prove to her family that it is a success. Therefore, she joins the ‘Mingle All the Way’ networking app, and meets another busy professional, Jeff (Daugherty). When Molly and Jeff are matched, they are both horrified to realize they’ve already had not one, but two, disastrous previous encounters. Nevertheless, they agree to stay matched for all their respective upcoming holiday engagements. As the pair gets closer, perhaps their business arrangement might turn into something more this holiday season.

Stay merry!
