🔎Actress Sarah Drew to Star in New Hallmark Christmas Mystery Series🔎

Hallmark Media announces a new Christmas-themed mystery series, Mistletoe Murders, starring Actress Sarah Drew, who will also serve as Executive Producer on this project.

According to Deadline, who made this announcement, "Drew has been cast as Emily Lane in Mistletoe Murders, which is based on the Audible global hit podcast of the same name. Emily is described as smart, tough, and observant, but also kind, empathetic, and charming with a great — albeit dry — sense of humor."

Hallmark Media also released this story synopsis: "When Emily isn’t busy running her charming small-town Christmas-themed store, “Under the Mistletoe,” she finds herself compelled to investigate local murders with the help of a handsome local police detective and his teen daughter. On the surface, Emily is a perfectly lovely, good-natured mystery lover – but she is hiding a secret past that, if exposed, threatens to destroy the new life she has built in Fletcher’s Grove."

Sarah Drew has a long resume of Hallmark movies that include Guiding Emily, Front of the Class, One Summer, Christmas in Vienna, and Branching Out, and a variety of films for other outlets, including the theater production, Mom's Night Out, Lifetime's Christmas Pen Pals, and more recently, Great American Pure Flix's Birthright Outlaw.

Sarah shared this movie news with her followers, using three smiling faces and clapping emojis and the caption, "SO excited!!!"

I'm also excited to hear this Christmas movie news and learn how Hallmark is incorporating the mystery genre into its upcoming holiday programming.

Stay tuned for more details,

This sounds like a wonderful place for Hallmark Christmas movie fans to visit, enjoy a yummy Christmas treat, and perhaps meet one of their favorite Hallmark actors and other fans who love these holiday movies just as much!

This event may be the next best thing to actually being in a Hallmark movie!

In fact, one follower on IG wrote this message, and it made me chuckle, so I just had to share:

jess_intheburgh: Don’t forget to break up with your city-dwelling boyfriend prior to returning to your Christmas themed town so you can bump into your ex and fall back in love 😂

Isn't that hilarious and cute!?!?! I couldn't help from laughing over the familiar Hallmark movie trope.

I've noticed other commenters are mostly excited, while others hope Hallmark will make this event happen a little closer to their home. Of course, as I mentioned above, Hallmark's headquarters are in Kansas City, Missouri, so that's the reason behind the chosen location.

Have a JOYful day!

Lacey Chabert To Film Christmas Movie NOT for Hallmark

While Hallmark previously announced that Actress Lacey Chabert will be starring alongside Actor Kristoffer Polaha in the film “The Christmas Quest” for its network this holiday season, there is another announcement today from Variety, announcing that Lacey Chabert will star in a streaming Christmas movie being made for Netflix’s 2024 holiday slate titled, Hot Frosty.

Details via Variety:
The film’s official logline reads, “Two years after losing her husband, Cathy magically brings a handsome snowman to life! Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Cathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays…and before he melts.”

Other cast members include: Dustin Milligan (“Schitt’s Creek,” “The People We Hate at the Wedding”), Joe Lo Truglio (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Craig Robinson (“The Office”), Katy Mixon (“American Housewife”), Lauren Holly (“Dumb and Dumber”) and Chrishell Stause (“Selling Sunset”). (according to Variety)

The story concept of a snowman coming to life reminds me of the 2017 Christmas movie, Snowmance, starring Ashley Newbrough, Adam Hurtig, and Jesse Hutch. The movie is silly but sweet, too, and I imagine Hot Frosty will also have its own mix of romance and comedy.

As for Lacey filming a Christmas movie for Netflix, I find this announcement to be rather interesting. Perhaps, if this movie were for any other time of year, it wouldn't be that shocking, but a CHRISTMAS movie... Wow! That is really surprising news!

I would love to know your thoughts on it. Please share in the comments below...

Have a Merry Day!
