Hallmark Channel‘s Countdown for Christmas programming block for 2025 has arrived and the network brought together 24 of their biggest stars to celebrate the launch during two days of fun in Nashville!
Lacey Chabert, Tyler Hynes, Nikki DeLoach, Ashley Williams, Jonathan Bennett, and so many more were in attendance at the launch parties.
The festivities kicked off on Wednesday (October 15) with a holiday takeover of the Opry Plaza, where Hallmark’s upcoming movie A Grand Ole Opry Christmas was filmed. After an afternoon filled with on-stage introductions, meet and greets with fans, radio interviews, and festive holiday treats like hot chocolate and cannolis, the stars attended a performance at the Grand Ole Opry.
The events continued on Thursday night (October 16) at the bar Category 10, where fans were treated to a sneak peek of this year’s holiday programming, plus Country Christmas line dancing and special musical guests like Mickey Guyton and Drew Baldridge.
JustJared.com will be bringing you so much more coverage from the events over the coming days, but take a peek at all of the photos in the meantime!
24/7 Christmas shows and movies are now airing on Hallmark Channel through the end of the year, with nearly 80 hours of all-new programming across the next 10 weeks. Tune in for original movie premieres every Saturday and Sunday night.
