However, it also reveals tempting scenes from a new Christmas movie, Winter Castle Royal Romance. A couple can be seen riding down an ice slide and the new movie will be the third in the Ice Hotel trilogy that includes Winter Castle and Baby, It’s Cold Inside.
According to Sleepy Kitty Paw, the film stars Stephen Huszar who has recently been seen in The Jane Mysteries, along with Katie Cassidy (Arrow) in her first Hallmark movie. According to the movie’s synopsis, “A prince ends up at the Hotel de Glace for Christmas.” Meanwhile, the movie was filmed in Ottawa and Valcartier, Quebec, Canada.
This is great news for those who love a good royal romance film and with it being set at Christmas, it doesn’t get better than that.

Also mentioned is A Biltmore Christmas, starring Bethany Joy Lenz, Kristoffer Polaha, Colton Little, Annabelle Borke, A.K. Benninghofen and Jonathan Frakes. As previously reported, the movie is about a screenwriter tasked with remaking a Christmas classic and heads to the original filming site to do research, only to be transported back in time to the making of the original movie. That film was filmed at the famed Biltmore, North Carolina estate.
While so far, more details about the holiday movies are lacking. However, having made an introductory tease, Hallmark is sure to release more information soon. Readers may recall that the network released three new movies during Christmas in July 2022. However, with the ongoing WGA writers’ strike, there could be delays and fewer new movies to watch.
