Hallmark Channel has become synonymous with romantic comedies, feel good dramas, and movies that hit you right in the feels. Now, Hallmark is trying something a little different with a romcom series rather than a feature-length film. Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas has dropped its first trailer. The series features Mae Whitman (Parenthood), Jane Seymour (Harry Wild), and Mary McDonnell. The cozy romcom series consists of six episodes adapted from the Jenni Bayliss novel of the same name. The logline for the upcoming series is as follows:
“Talented Saville Row textile pattern designer Kate (Whitman) lives in the quaint village of Blexford, England, next door to her father Mac (Parker), who is long-divorced from Kate’s mother Delilah (McDonnell), a globe-trotting American always on an adventure. When not at work, Kate looks after Mac, who’s recovering from a motorbike accident and is inclined to spend his days sitting in his recliner. Unbeknownst to Kate, her best friend Laura (Lucy Eaton, Murder Maps, Staged) signs her up for The 12 Dates of Christmas – a holiday-themed matchmaking program in the days leading up to the holiday featuring carefully curated, yuletide dating experiences, in an attempt to get Kate out of her rut. Lovingly coerced by Laura and longtime best friend Callum (Morris), a reluctant Kate ultimately gets into the spirit of the program and is caught off guard when she meets someone (Sandeman) who reinvigorates her zest for life.”
