A Royal Christmas Crush
As we reported, A Royal Christmas Crush premieres on Saturday, July 8, at 8 pm ET/PT on Hallmark Channel. The movie stars Stephen Huszar and Katie Cassidy, who started dating after spending so much time on set.
According to the synopsis, Ava Jensen (Cassidy) is a talented architect who joins her Uncle Karl (Charlie Ebbs, Six Degrees of Santa) in the enchanting frozen kingdom of Fríðrland to build an elaborate ice castle for the Royal Family – a tradition that goes back almost 200 years.
While there, Ava meets the handsome Prince Henry (Huszar), the heir to the throne and one of the world’s most eligible bachelors. While they are both from different worlds, they fall in love. However, behind the scenes, the palace’s Director of Logistics, Brigitta (Angela Besharah, Circuit Breakers) is determined to win over the charming Prince for her own daughter, Sigrid (Kathryn Kohut, Fly Away With Me).

Take Me Back For Christmas on Hallmark
The second all-new, original movie premieres on July 15 as part of Christmas in July. Titled Take Me Back For Christmas, the movie stars Vanessa Lengies and Corey Sevier. Meanwhile, the plot of the movie tells the story of Renée (Lengies) who always dreamed of starting her own business. However, when her mom got sick, she and her husband Aaron (Sevier) moved back to the suburbs to care for her and were forced to put their dreams on hold.
Now 10 years later, she is officially stuck in a rut with mounting bills and a dead-end job putting pressure on her normally happy marriage. After a particularly disheartening day working at a local gift shop, an elf running the Santa display offers to grant Renée a Christmas wish. Although skeptical, her exasperation gets the best of her, and she wishes for a different life… only to wake up in a New York City high rise as CEO of one of the most successful meal kit delivery companies in the world. To top it all off, her mom is still alive.
While it looks like her wish did come true, there is one problem – she is no longer married to Aaron. In a desperate attempt to win him back, Renée hires Aaron, now a successful chef, to develop a Christmas dinner meal kit to benefit local food banks. While working together, she and Aaron start to fall in love all over again, bringing Renée one step closer to having everything she wants. However, as complications arrive and it gets closer to the holidays. Renée asks herself if going back was the key to moving forward in life and love.
