The More the Merrier
Paging all Hallmark fans: Brendan Penny and Rachel Boston are scrubbing in for a Christmas shift we’re actually looking forward to! In The More the Merrier, Alice, an ER doctor, volunteers to cover Christmas Eve at a small-town hospital where she teams up with Brian, a top-rated cardiologist. What starts as a snowy night on call turns into a heartwarming and slightly chaotic baby boom. We’re already hooked on the promise of medical mayhem, festive feelings, and the kind of chemistry only Hallmark can prescribe.
The More the Merrier will premiere on Friday, November 28th, on Hallmark Channel as part of MerryThanksgivingWeekend (and will be available to stream the following day on Hallmark+.)
