Hallmark Channel has been rolling out its 2024 \u201cCountdown to Christmas\u201d lineup since April \u2014 and they\u2019re not done yet.<\/p>\n

Lacey Chabert<\/strong><\/a> and Kristoffer Polaha<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s The Christmas Quest<\/em> was announced in April.

The network also revealed in April that Paul Campbell<\/strong><\/a>, Tyler Hynes<\/strong><\/a> and Andrew Walker<\/strong><\/a> would be reprising their roles as the Brenner brothers in Three Wiser Men and a Boy<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHallmark Media kicked off 2024 with four fresh Hallmark Channel features \u2014 and there\u2019s plenty more where that came from. January\u2019s lineup began with Love on the Right Course, starring Ashley Newbrough. \u201cLearned how to say, \u2018cheers\u2019 in Hungarian but definitely didn\u2019t learn how to spell it \ud83c\udded\ud83c\uddfa\u2763\ufe0f,\u201d Newbrough captioned a series of Instagram snaps [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hynes, who worked with the actors in 2022\u2019s Three Wise Men and a Baby<\/em>, said he envisioned, \u201cSomething where you could find a group of us just getting into different situations. Being put behind very different characters and just watching that stew [and] come together in the different ways it can with the same ingredients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans will also get a When Calls the Heart<\/em> reunion this holiday season as Erin Krakow<\/strong><\/a> and Daniel Lissing <\/strong>are teaming up for Santa Tell Me<\/em><\/a>. (The pair played married couple Elizabeth and Jack on the Hallmark Channel series for five seasons before Jack was killed off.)<\/p>\n
