 CHRISTMAS AT CASTLE HART 

WITH STUART TOWNSEND!

We're going to Castle Hart this Saturday

With BBC announcing today Jamie Dornan's The Tourist thriller series and David Tennant's 80 Days Around the World series as highlights of their Christmas programming this year, we continue our festive coverage with three new holiday movies, beginning with CHRISTMAS AT CASTLE HART which arrives to Hallmark November 27th, which is this Saturday! It stars Stuart Townsend whom we haven't seen in a long while. Lacey Chabert is Brooke Bennett who goes to Ireland for Christmas to search for her Irish roots. While there, she meets Aiden Hart (Townsend). Mistaken for an elite event planner, she's hired to host his castle's epic Christmas party.

 

 

  NINE KITTENS OF CHRISTMAS 

STARRING BRANDON ROUTH

Nine Kittens arrive this Thursday!

If you like to season your holiday season with cats, you will love the plot of NINE KITTENS OF CHRISTMAS which arrives to Hallmark two days earlier, this Friday, November 25th starring Superman Brandon Routh! Here is the plot of the holiday romantic comedy: Zachary (Brandon Routh) and Marilee (Kimberley Sustad) are thrown back together at Christmas when they're tasked with finding homes for a litter of adorable kittens. This is actually a sequel to Hallmark's 2014 movie The Nine Lives of Christmas which was based on a book by Sheila Roberts. Guess their cats got some kittens right around Holidays.

 

 AN UNEXPECTED CHRISTMAS 

ROMANCE BETWEEN EXES

Friday is for Unexpected Christmas

November 26th, also over at Hallmark, is when you will be able to watch AN UNEXPECTED CHRISTMAS a delightful festive romantic comedy starring Tyler Hynes as Jamie, who hasn't told his family that he and his now ex-girlfriend Emily (Bethany Joy Lenz) broke up. After an inopportune run-in with Emily at the train station in his hometown, Jamie convinces her to pretend they're still a couple to avoid ruining Christmas for his family. Jamie and Emily engage in a week long ruse of engaging in his family's holiday activities together. While they're stuck in his family's home together, the pair discovers their relationship might still have some potential, resulting in a very unexpected Christmas.
