But that's not even the best news. The best news is, along with the usual array of our yuletide favorites from years past, we are getting a brand-new original holiday movie in July! That's right, the premiere of Crashing Through the Snow will be Saturday night, July 10. This new festive flick stars Amy Acker, Kristian Bruun, Brooke Nevin, Warren Christie and promises spirited sibling rivalry, holiday themed antics, and a modern love story. In addition to a premiere, this July we can expect theme nights, marathons, and even a brand-new collection of products to liven up your home and usher in the spirit of the season. The Christmas in July collection will be available mid-July online and in Hallmark Crown stores by mid-July and will include drinkware, t-shirts, socks and more.
