Hallmark News and Notes
- Lacey Chabert used this movie’s press run to first announce “The Wedding Veil” trilogy back in 2022. All three movies (and two sequels after that) have since aired, so if you’re a fan of this one, that’s your next watch. During the premiere, Hallmark Channel actually ran a teaser for that trilogy using early clips. Fun bit of behind the scenes timing if you go back and watch it now. This one aired during Hallmark’s Merry Thanksgiving Weekend lineup, which has become one of the network’s most reliable openers for Countdown to Christmas each year.
