This is the first time Hallmark Channel and Walt Disney World have partnered on an original movie.
Darren Abbott, Chief Brand Officer, Hallmark, shared, “The partnership between Hallmark and Disney dates back decades, when a shared Kansas City connection and friendship between Hallmark’s founder, J.C. Hall, and Walt Disney himself led to our first-ever licensed products, including the very first greeting card featuring Mickey Mouse. We’re thrilled to expand our relationship beyond the products we create together and onto the screen with this heartwarming and joyful Christmas movie that embodies the very best of both brands.”

The story follows Lindsey, played by Chabert, as she heads to Walt Disney World with her family for Christmas. She soon discovers her room is next door to Philip, and a disastrous first date is also visiting with his family.
As the two cross paths throughout their trip, their frosty start begins to warm, and a wish made in the Cinderella fountain may lead to romance.
Stay Tuned!
We are so excited and even caught some of the filming yesterday at Hollywood Studios. Check out the photos below:
Plenty of guests gathered around to see what was happening, and the ropes and cast members kept the filming private.
Ropes and crew blocked most of the view.
Next year will also bring co-branded Hallmark and Disney products inspired by the film. Think greeting cards, ornaments, gift wrap, and more at Hallmark Gold Crown stores and online.
More details coming soon!
