The Hallmark Channel is introducing four new original movies this week as part of the annual Countdown to Christmas programming event.
First is A Gift to Remember, starring Ali Liebert (Chesapeake Shores) and Peter Porte (The Young and the Restless). It's the story of Darcy who, while bicycling, crashes into Aidan, who is walking his dog. Knocked unconscious, he's taken to the hospital and Darcy takes the dog home until he can be reunited with his owner. The more she learns about Aidan, the more Darcy realizes that he could be the one she's waiting for. It airs at 7 p.m. today on Hallmark Channel.
With Love, Christmas airs at 7 p.m. Wednesday. It's the story of Melanie (Chesapeake Shores), who is teamed up with uptight and co-worker Donovan (The Haves and the Have Nots) to come up with the ultimate Christmas commercial for a new cellphone. As Donovan's Secret Santa, Melanie must find the perfect gift and work to show Donovan that she's the only Santa for him.
Alica Witt (A Very Merry Mix-Up) and David Alpay (The Vampire Diaries) star in The Mistletoe Inn, airing at 7 p.m. Thursday. Witt stars as aspiring novelist Kim Rossi who, when dumped by her boyfriend, takes off to a romance writing retreat at a quaint Vermont inn. There she meets Zeke (Alpay) and an attraction builds that promises to take her down a road she never imagined traveling.
And finally this week, Dermot Mulroney (Shameless), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Father of the Bride), Joan Cusak (Toy Story) and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon) star in the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation The Christmas Train, airing at 7 p.m. Saturday. Based on the David Balducci story, the movie tells the tale of a variety of characters on a train from Washington to Los Angeles right before Christmas.
