There’s never a bad time to get into the holiday spirit, which is precisely the attitude that Hallmark has been putting forward lately. Despite Christmas being nine months away, the network has announced that yet another festive production is in the works. Titled The Twelve Dates of Christmas, the project has set a trio of familiar faces as its stars, signing on Mae Whitman (Arrested Development), Mary McDonnell (Battlestar Galactica) and Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). The three actresses will appear in the six-episode miniseries, which will pull its story from Jenni Bayliss’ novel of the same name.

Joining the leading ladies is an ensemble that includes Julian Morris (The Morning Show), Toby Sandeman (Running Point) and Nathaniel Parker (Merlin). As one could expect, The Twelve Dates of Christmas won’t be making it onto our screens in the immediate future, as the title is set for an arrival on Hallmark during the network’s annual Countdown to Christmas. Streaming on Hallmark+ will be set for the following day. But already the cast and crew are busy at work in and around Dublin, Ireland — which leads us to believe there will be some beautiful scenery to feast our eyes on.

What Will Hallmark’s Latest Christmas Series Be About?

In typical Hallmark fashion, The Twelve Dates of Christmas will take place in a quiet and small town where a Saville Row textile pattern designer named Kate (Whitman) lives next door to her father, Mac (Parker). The proximity allows Kate to keep an eye on her dad, who is recovering from a motorcycle accident and prefers to spend much of his time away from other people in the comfort of his recliner (relatable!).

Without Kate’s permission, her best friend, Laura (Lucy Eaton), adds her name to the participant list for an event known as The 12 Dates of Christmas. The matchmaking program tears singles out of their comfort zones and throws them into holiday-themed dates. While Kate is exploring things with one of the bachelors, her father finds himself quite taken by a local widow, Evelyn (Seymour). But, both Mac and Kate will have their lives flipped upside down when Kate’s mother and Mac’s long-divorced wife, Delilah (McDonnell), comes back to town.

As of right now, no specific release date has been set for The Twelve Dates of Christmas, but keep your eyes peeled as we draw closer to the holiday season.
