Summer may be here, but the holidays are in full swing at Hallmark.
The weather is warming up with summer approaching, but don't pack away your winter clothes just yet.
Hallmark Channel will debut a new original holiday movie next month as part of its "Christmas in July" programming event, Crashing Through the Snow, starring Amy Acker and Warren Christie. It will premiere Saturday, July 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The original film follows Maggie (Acker) and her ex-husband, Jeff (Kristian Bruun), who have always been friends first. When Jeff’s new girlfriend, Kate (Brooke Nevin), spontaneously invites Maggie along to their Christmas getaway in Aspen, she jumps at the chance to spend a Yuletide holiday away with her two daughters. Although Maggie feels like a third wheel crashing their Christmas, she’s not alone as Kate’s hapless brother, Sam (Christie), shows up unannounced with a plan. Always seeming to live in Kate’s shadow, Sam, for once, wants to come out ahead, and he convinces Maggie that, together, they can compete with Kate and make this Christmas the best one ever. Neither of them is adequately prepared for the blended family challenges that lie ahead -- or the feelings they develop for one another.
Crashing Through the Snow is directed by Rich Newey and written by Tamar Laddy. Executive producers are Stan Spry, Eric Woods and Ryan M. Murphy, with Anthony Fankhauser co-executive producing and Devan Towers co-producing.
"Christmas in July" will run across Hallmark Channel and its sister network, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, starting Friday, June 25 and go through Saturday, July 31, with special theme nights. The lineup will include past holiday favorites featuring Candace Cameron Bure, Holly Robinson Peete, Lacey Chabert, Jonathan Bennett, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Cameron Mathison, Danica McKellar, Ryan Paevey, Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker.
