Hallmark Christmas 2025 Preview Show #1

The gang is all here to help us break down the first batch of 2025 Hallmark Christmas movies! This week, we cover...

Saturday, October 18: A Royal Montana Christmas
Stars: Fiona Gubelmann (The Good Doctor), Warren Christie (Happy Town)

Overwhelmed by her royal duties during the Christmas season, Princess Victoria of Zelarnia
(Gubelmann) is ready for a change of pace. Looking to decompress in the days leading up to
Christmas, she decides to take a vacation to Peaceful Pines Ranch in Montana where she celebrated
Christmas as a child with her late father. Upon arrival, she meets her dashing guide Huntley Blaylock
(Christie) who presents her and the other guests at the ranch with a rustic experience that is far from
the royal treatment. This Christmas, Huntley must decide if he wants to step into a leadership role
and carry on the family ranch’s legacy as his parents, the owners, approach retirement. Unaware of
her status as a princess, Huntley puts Victoria through the rigors of a Montana ranch experience.
Victoria also plans to help Huntley revive the ranch’s Christmas Holly-Day Dance. Victoria finds
herself charmed by both Huntley and this different pace of life. As the two start to fall for each other,
things get complicated when Huntley discovers Victoria is a princess. As Christmas approaches and
her time at the ranch comes to an end, Victoria must decide if she should return to her royal life or
stay in Montana with Huntley and the ranch she has grown so fond of.

Sunday, October 19: A Christmas Angel Match
Stars: Meghan Ory (Chesapeake Shores), Benjamin Ayres (Saving Hope)

Monica (Ory) and Michael (Ayres) are Christmas Angels tasked with bringing destined soulmates
together during the most magical season of all. Typically, Angels work alone, but when the Christmas
Connection Department faces the threat of downsizing, Monica and Michael are unexpectedly
paired to ensure Daisy and Patrick fall in love before Christmas. The partnership isn’t without its
challenges: Monica is a by-the-book traditionalist who follows every heavenly rule, while Michael
embraces spontaneity and delights in earthly joys like hot chocolate, snowball fights, and holiday
dancing. Their clashing styles – and the undeniable spark growing between them – complicate their
mission. As Christmas Eve draws near, Monica and Michael worry that their differences will keep
them from completing their mission in time. But just when it seems all hope is lost, a surprising turn
of events changes everything – leading to a Christmas connection no one saw coming.

Saturday, October 25: Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper!
Stars: Robert Buckley (Chesapeake Shores), Kimberley Sustad (The Santa Class)

Weatherman Ted Cooper (Buckley) loves Christmas, but the past three have been terrible. This year,
Ted has made up his mind that things will be different – this will be the Christmas things turn around
for him. But Ted’s relentless optimism is about to be put to the test as he is faced with a litany of
injuries and obstacles when he travels back to his hometown of Lackawanna, NY for the holidays.
Within hours of arriving at his sister Kate’s house, he finds himself making a trip to Urgent Care after
falling off a ladder while hanging decorations. While there, he runs into Ruth Mittens, his former high
school science teacher who was always his cheerleader. He also reconnects with the charming
Hope Miller (Sustad), except now she’s Dr. Hope Miller, with whom he went to high school and quietly
crushed on from afar. Ted is optimistic that this budding romance is the beginning of his Christmas
comeback, but his looming holiday bad luck still has a few curveballs in store for him. Luckily for
Ted, he won’t have to face them alone – he’ll have the support of Kate, Ruth, and Hope to help him
overcome the challenges thrown his way and finally enjoy a well-earned merry Christmas.

Saturday, November 1: Christmas On Duty
Stars: Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars), Parker Young (Enlisted)

Blair (Parrish) and Josh (Young) have been bitter rivals ever since they trained together at The Basic
School in Quantico, where they were both at the top of the class, competing to be number one. After
graduation, Blair got Josh’s dream job, and they haven’t spoken since. Three years later, their paths
cross unexpectedly at the base holiday party, where the two get into an argument and cause a scene.
As punishment, Blair and Josh are both assigned to Christmas Duty, where they’ll work through the
Yuletide together...for 24 hours straight. They plan to stay away from each other, but when a
snowstorm prevents all the Christmas presents from being deliv
