Why wasn’t there a makeover in this fashion-centric holiday romance? It’s little tweaks like these that could make a formulaic Hallmark romance stand out just a bit more. Unfortunately, Christmas by Design blends in with all the other holiday movies. MCLEAN, Va. – When you want to be surrounded by the magic of the holidays in a home away from home, it matters where you stay.

There are MANY more books Hallmark has transformed into holly jolly romance movies, and Robyn Neeley's work, Jingle Jammies, is the latest. The reworked title, Christmas by Design, premiered on Hallmark Channel on October 27, 2023, and proved to be as delightful as a peppermint mocha latte. How does a luxury designer find the right inspo to design looks for a family store like Warwick’s, especially when the water’s been shut off in their studio? They go back home to Connecticut and face not only the end of her beloved Elfcapades, but also her mom’s new partner Rick (Tim Progosh), a family that isn’t too happy about her moving to the big city, and an ex-fiancĂ© who is now the mayor. Fortunately for her, she bumps into the town’s mechanic and most eligible bachelor Spencer (Reign‘s Jonathan Keltz).

Christmas by Design: release date, cast and everything we know about the Hallmark Channel movie

Hallmark announced their 40-movie holiday slate on Tuesday — 31 to air on Hallmark Channel‘s Countdown to Christmas and nine to air on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ Miracles of Christmas. The Hallmark Channel’s newest Countdown to Christmas movie, “Christmas By Design,” premieres on Friday, October 27, at 8 p.m. Read on to see behind-the-scenes stories and learn all about where the movie was filmed. The Christmas Quest is set to premiere later this year as part of Hallmark Channel’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event.

A high-flying New York event planner is sent to a quaint small town to organize their Christmas festival. A magazine journalist who no longer celebrates Christmas visits the quaint town of Mistletoe to blog about an inspirational - albeit questionably delusional - man who parades around pretending to be the real Santa Claus. An archival historian is hired to create a Christmas display at the Plaza Hotel and is paired with a handsome Christmas decorator to bring it to life.

Each guest room will include a custom-decorated Christmas tree and complimentary hot cocoa station. To keep the holiday cheer going all season long, each guest suite will also include Hallmark Channel branded takeaways guests can enjoy with their loved ones during or after their holiday stay. Items include Hallmark Channel Wine, Bissinger’s cocoa mix and hot cocoa bombs, Republic of Tea products, wine glasses, mugs, and more. Like — what if Charlotte took her assistant back home with her? Or what if Spencer actually used Charlotte as more of a buffer against the town’s thirsty ladies? What if we got a scene with Charlotte’s super cranky brother-in-law where she found out what his deal is?

Hilton and Hallmark Channel are teaming up to give travelers, fans, and viewers the chance to immerse themselves in a festive dreamscape inspired by Hallmark’s beloved “Countdown to Christmas” movies, at select Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties in New York, Houston and Chicago. Hallmark is scheduled to release 40 new holiday movies this year, some of which started rolling out beginning Oct. 21, over two months before the Christmas holiday. It’s true, fans went wild for this first of its kind Hallmark movie that gave them not one, not two, but three Hallmark Hunks in one flick.

The room will also feature a curated Christmas Tree with candy garland and DIY candy ornaments to create with friends and family. Those traveling to New York this holiday season can indulge their sweet tooth and truly immerse themselves in all the sights, smells, and sweet treats a Hallmark Channel Christmas can bring. A fashion designer joins a Christmas challenge to create a new holiday-themed collection. There’s also the annual Warwick Christmas Design Challenge, which I think is like if Macy’s held its own mini Project Runway challenge that culminated with a Christmas Eve runway show. I love how even though every holiday movie is so family-focused, every single one of them expects families to be out of the house on Christmas Eve attending a dance, fundraiser, tree lighting, concert, festival, live TV show taping, or holiday-themed runway show.

The festive cocktail will be served alongside a zero-proof cocktail for all cheerful travelers to enjoy throughout the season. A fashion designer gets accepted into a Christmas challenge to create a new holiday-themed collection and not only finds the inspiration for her next line but decides to redesign her approach to what's most important in life. There’s nothing sweeter than treating yourself to a Hallmark Channel Christmas in New York City! The suite at Hilton New York Times Square is designed to bring the sweetness of this year’s “Countdown to Christmas” season to life.

We are excited to deliver and then some with a story that is filled with more humor and, most importantly, more heart,” Jennifer Kramer, Vice President Development of Hallmark Media said. He produced the limited series Nine Films, and he recently appeared in Wilderness on Prime Video. Hallmark fans will remember Keltz from his roles in Fit for a Prince, Once Upon a Prince and Love at Look Lodge. As of this writing, there's no word on when the movie will be available for UK viewers, but as soon as we have that information we'll pass it along. The 2023 lineup welcomes many new faces to the Hallmark family, including Chris Carmack, Erica Cerra, Jonathan Frakes, Mark GhanimĂ©, Humberly Gonzalez, Bryan Greenberg, Rick Hoffman, Grace Leer, Vic Michaelis, Mishael Morgan, William Moseley and Phylicia Rashad, among others.

Hallmark has finally given us all the news we have been waiting for since 2022. Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell, and Tyler Hynes will reprise their roles as three brothers, the Brenner boys, in the sequel to the most watched original movie of 2022, Three Wise Men and a Baby. The next installment, Three Wiser Men and a Boy, will also see the return of Margaret Colin as the boys’ mother Barbara. Colin's casting is, of course, a nod to the movie’s inspiration, Three Men and a Baby, where she played Rebecca alongside Ted Danson, Steve Guttenberg, Tom Selleck.
