Hallmark Channel Announces First 2023 Christmas Movie, Bethany Joy Lenz and Kristoffer Polaha to Star

Hallmark Channel is planning ahead. Next month, the network will begin production on their first holiday movie of 2023.

“A Biltmore Christmas,” led by Bethany Joy Lenz and Kristoffer Polaha, will film entirely on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, a national historic landmark known for its classic holiday traditions. Dustin Rikert serves as executive producer with Andrew Gernhard producing. John Putch directs the script, written by Marcy Holland.

“Each year we look for ways to create exciting, new holiday viewing experiences for our audience,” says Samantha DiPippo, senior vice president of development and programming at Hallmark Media. “We know fans will love being transported back in time and the iconic, beautiful Biltmore Estate is the perfect setting to help fans get into the holiday spirit.”

The official description for “A Biltmore Christmas” is below:

Lucy Collins (Lenz) is a screenwriter who lands the job of a lifetime when she’s hired to write the script for a remake of the beloved holiday movie “His Merry Bride!” First filmed in 1947 at beautiful Biltmore House, it has long been considered a Christmas classic. As Christmas approaches, Lucy travels to Biltmore Estate for research. She joins a guided tour of the grounds where she gets insights into the history of the location and the filming of “His Merry Bride!,” and once inside the house, she’s drawn to a beautiful hourglass. When Lucy accidentally knocks it over, she finds herself transported back in time to 1946 – the Golden Age of Hollywood – as cast and crew prepare to film “His Merry Bride!” at Biltmore. Lucy does her best to navigate an unfamiliar place as a woman out of time, charming some and raising suspicions of others. It’s not long before Lucy catches the eye of the film’s dashing lead Jack Huston (Polaha) and although she initially rebuffs his advances, their connection soon becomes undeniable. Lucy’s sudden appearance sets off a chain of events that put the production in jeopardy. Before she can return to the present, she must make things right or threaten to alter the future forever. Lucy has one chance to go home but must say goodbye to the man who might be her soulmate unless some Christmas magic can keep the curtain from closing on their love story.

Ambush at Dark Canyon (2012)

My rating: 5/10

I suppose "Ambush at Well-Lit Outcrop" didn't have the same ring to it.

Apparently that Kix Brooks guy is a country singer and owns the production company that made this movie, making this a vanity project - which explains why he's the lead, even though he's by far the worst actor there. He also seems to have provided most of the soundtrack, which in turn explains why vast swathes of this movie are basically music videos for a bunch of mediocre dad country songs.

All that being said, it's not unwatchable - everybody else can act well enough, especially Ernie Hudson (who acts circles about Brooks at any opportunity), it's competently directed, and while the plot is mostly a loosely connected amalgamation of clichés, it serves its purpose. I have definitely seen worse westerns.

WATCH GINNA CLAIRE MASON, DEREK KLENA, ANN-MARGRET, EVE PLUMB AND THE RADIO CITY ROCKETTES IN ‘A HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR,’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING NOVEMBER 27 ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Part of the Network’s “Countdown to Christmas” Programming Event

STUDIO CITY, CA – November 1, 2022 – Broadway favorites Ginna Claire Mason (Wicked, “Preach”) and Derek Klena (Moulin Rouge!, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) star with Emmy- award winner and Academy-award nominee Ann-Margret (Bye Bye Birdie, Grumpy Old Men) in “A Holiday Spectacular,” a new, original movie premiering Sunday, November 27 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel, as part of the network’s “Countdown to Christmas” programming event. Eve Plumb (“Bull,” “A Very Brady Renovation”) also stars.

Shot on location in upstate New York and at Radio City Music Hall, “A Holiday Spectacular” features the Radio City Rockettes in speaking roles and performance numbers, choreographed by director and choreographer Julie Branam (Christmas Spectacular).

In 1958 Philadelphia heiress Maggie (Mason) puts her high-society wedding plans on hold in order to sneak up to New York City and make her secret dream come true: dancing live on stage in the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. While her family thinks she’s staying in New York City with an “approved” friend from boarding school, Maggie is living a completely different life than she’s ever known. She falls in love with New York and dancing with theRockettes. Maggie soon feels caught between two worlds, made even more complicated by her chance encounter with young U.S. Navy photographer John (Klena). Will Maggie find the courage to tell her family what she wants for her future instead of accepting the future that was decided for her?

“A Holiday Spectacular” is from Hallmark Media & Madison Square Garden Entertainment. Dustin Rikert and Jessica Tuttle are executive producers. Tony Glazer and Summer Crockett Moore are producers. John Putch directed from a script by Julie Sherman Wolfe.

Ghost Rock (2003)

My rating: 5/10

Kung fu fighting gunslinger fights black hats with the help of his ghost girlfriend and several prostitutes. It's about as silly as it sounds, but I did appreciate the surprisingly sympathetic and nuanced portrayal of sex workers as, y'know, people.

One Royal Holiday – Dustin Rikert, 2020

Once Thanksgiving passed, it was time to begin watching all of the Christmas movies. This one was recorded on November first, showing that Hallmark has no shame and indeed starting broadcasting these films right after Halloween. And yes, this is a Hallmark film. Usually I would not stoop so low, but in my defense, Aaron Tveit is in this, and I love him. For those of you who are sadly unaware of who this man is, he played Enjolras in the 2012 Les Mis, and also originated the role of Christian in Moulin Rouge! on Broadway. I was lucky enough to see him in that production, and his swoopy hair is just as glorious in person. Anyway, that is the only reason I was willing to watch this otherwise terrible Hallmark movie.

Okay, as Christmas movies go, this is pretty standard schlock. It’s paint-by-numbers with the main characters meeting, then having to spend time together, and then falling in love. And all during Christmas! This one even features a ball with fancy gowns. It’s a proper Cinderella moment. Like most Christmas movies, the wardrobe is to die for. I love a good sweater-skirt combo, and I’m a gal who has winter coloring. So I do enjoy watching wintry movies to get that cute outfit inspiration. I did hope there would be more singing in this movie, seeing as how the two leads are Broadway stars. And the movie did open with the two of them doing a cover of “Let It Snow”, which was something. But other than a brief moment of carol-singing, there was nothing. I was very disappointed.

等到海枯石爛！影史上十部最姍姍來遲的續集電影

我們曾為《猜火車》的續集電影足足等了二十一年，而在丹尼鮑伊的《猜火車2》中，瑞登、屎霸、變態男和卑鄙如今終於回來了。但比起某些令人等到天荒地老的續集電影，二十一年還只算是小兒科呢。

一、《101忠狗》～《101忠狗2：倫敦大冒險》：【相隔41年】又一部直接發行影碟的迪士尼續集電影。接續了1961年首集電影的故事發展，雷德克里夫一家人在片中搬到了鄉下，卻不小心遺忘了其中一隻小狗「小斑」（圖：Disney）

二、《逍遙騎士》～《逍遙騎士續集》：【相隔43年】不知道是中了什麼邪，導演達斯汀瑞克特（Dustin Rikert）才會在2012年拍出這部被影評批為「糟得無以復加」的續集電影。續集中所大力鼓吹的保守派觀點，則完全與丹尼斯霍柏的這部1969年反文化經典之作背道而馳。（圖：Columbia/Pan American Pictures）

三、《小姐與流氓》～《小姐與流氓2：狗兒逃家記》：【相隔45年】又一部苦等多年的迪士尼續集電影。在2001年的《小姐與流氓2：狗兒逃家記》中，小姐與流氓的獨子史坎普決定離家出走，好重新回歸野性。而迥異於1955年的首集電影，本片始終不得觀眾的青睞。（圖：Disney）

四、《綠野仙蹤》～《天魔歷險》：【相隔45年】1985年的《天魔歷險》風格極為黑暗，也十分忠於李曼法蘭克鮑姆筆下的原著小說，卻遠遠沒有茱蒂嘉蘭的1939年經典之作來得那麼輕鬆愉快。（圖：MGM/Buena Vista）

六、《仙履奇緣》～《仙履奇緣2：美夢成真》：【相隔51年】迪士尼最愛推出姍姍來遲的續集電影了。《仙履奇緣2：美夢成真》是一部直接發行影碟的作品，片中總共講述了三段短篇故事。電影當時雖然慘遭觀眾和影評狠狠修理（爛蕃茄指數只有區區11%），但還是幫米老鼠之家大賺了一筆，收進逾一億兩千萬美金。（圖：Disney）
