CONFIRMED: Disney Teamed Up With Hallmark For a NEW Holiday Movie

Hallmark holiday movies have  become a sort of holiday tradition, and let’s face it…they’re the ultimate guilty pleasure. However, the perfect Hallmark holiday movie hasn’t existed…at least until now.

Disney just revealed that filming for a new Hallmark holiday movie will be shot in The Most Magical Place on Earth. Yes, you’ll be able to watch a new Hallmark holiday movie set in Disney World in 2026.

Hallmark Channel and Disney World are teaming up for a new movie called Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True. The movie will star Lacey Chabert, Travis Van Winkle, Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Dufee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander, with Patrick Renna in a cameo role. You’ll be able to watch it during Hallmark Channel’s 17th annual Countdown to Christmas programming next year.

Believe it or not, this is the first time a Hallmark holiday movie will be filming in a Disney park for an original movie like this.

“The partnership between Hallmark and Disney dates back decades, when a shared Kansas City connection and friendship between Hallmark’s founder, J.C. Hall, and Walt Disney himself led to our first-ever licensed products, including the very first greeting card featuring Mickey Mouse,” said Darren Abbott, Chief Brand Officer, Hallmark. “We’re thrilled to expand our relationship beyond the products we create together and onto the screen with this heartwarming and joyful Christmas movie that embodies the very best of both brands.”

The movie follows Lindsey (Chabert) and her family as they visit Disney World to spend Christmas together. But Lindsey’s hotel room is next door to Philip (Van Winkle), who she recently had a disastrous first date with. It turns out that he’s there on a family holiday trip, too. The two keep bumping into each other, and in Hallmark holiday movie fashion, their rivalry becomes romance.

You’ll also be able to get some sweet Hallmark merchandise next year inspired by the movie, including greeting cards, ornaments, gifts, gift wrap, and more.
