Starring: Mario Lopez, AnnaLynne McCord, Paulina Chavez and Marycarmen Lopez With a threequel already greenlit (will there be four Vanessa Hudgens?!), the time is now to invest in this wacky Christmastime jaunt. But the adventure is oh so worth it in the end. Why we’re excited: If you thought two Vanessa Hudgens were enough, what about three? The premise for The Princess Switch is so ridiculous and out there that you just have to suspend your disbelief when you dive in. Throw in the unexpected arrival of Margaret's outrageous party girl cousin, Fiona (yup, Hudgens again), a third look-alike who has ambitions of her own, and you have the recipe for Christmas triple trouble! but the course of true love is complicated by the appearance of a handsome royal who's intent on stealing Margaret's heart. Plot: When Duchess Margaret (Hudgens) unexpectedly inherits the throne to Montenaro and hits a rough patch with boyfriend Kevin, it's up to her double, Princess Stacy of Belgravia (also Hudgens), to get these star-crossed lovers back together. Starring: Vanessa Hudgens, Sam Palladio and Nick Sagar We all know how this story ends, but it’s all about the journey to love for these two scrooges that will have us pressing play at midnight. Why we’re excited: While the plot isn’t exactly original (strangers agreeing to be each other’s go-to dates is a tried-and-true movie formula), the stellar cast is the selling point here. However, as a year of absurd celebrations come to an end, Sloane and Jackson find that sharing everything they hate may just prove to be something they unexpectedly love. With a mutual disdain for the holidays, and assuring themselves that they have no romantic interest in the other, they make the perfect team. But when these two strangers meet one particularly bad Christmas, they make a pact to be each other’s “holidate” for every festive occasion throughout the next year. They constantly find themselves single, sitting at the kids table, or stuck with awkward dates. Plot: Sloane (Roberts) and Jackson (Bracey) hate the holidays. Starring: Emma Roberts, Kristin Chenoweth, Luke Bracey, Andrew Bachelor, Jessica Capshaw, Manish Dayal, Alex Moffat, Jake Manley, Cynthy Wu and Frances Fisher (It's location blasphemy.)īut considering that Hallmark pulled out 40 new holiday films in a year where the coronavirus pandemic delayed production for months - we're just lucky we got snowy cozy Christmas tales at all, nevermind if their settings matched their real locations.Premieres: Wednesday, Oct. This year, North Carolina offered some filming incentives as well, and a couple of the Hallmark productions took advantage - including one called A Nashville Christmas Carol. In the past, eligible film productions could get a fully refundable tax credit of 25 percent when the movie shoots took place in the country. There's a reason that so many shows and movies film in Atlanta - it's just relatively inexpensive. Movie productions usually film where it's cheapest, and that's where towns will give good tax incentives. Although don't get us started on where A Christmas Tree Grows in Colorado actually shot its scenes. For example, the cast and crew for Christmas In Vienna really did travel to Austria shortly before the pandemic shuttered world travel. However, there are some movies that take place where they actually filmed. The Hallmark Christmas movie filming locations are overwhelmingly in Canada - even when the movie takes place in Vermont, Colorado, or even Boise, Idaho. You're definitely watching Hallmark movies for the realism. They're also not often filmed where they say they are. I hate to break it to you but Hallmark's Christmas movies usually go into production in the summer and fall, which means some of them are filmed when it's actually really warm out.
