LaughingPlace.com, reporting from the Television Critics Association press day, the film will air on Saturday, November 28th on Hallmark Channel.
The date puts it right in the heart of the Countdown to Christmas season — the day after Thanksgiving — when Hallmark's holiday viewership is at its peak. The film will be available the next day on Hallmark+.
Filmed at Walt Disney World last Christmas, Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True is the first on-location collaboration between Hallmark Channel and Disney. Lacey Chabert stars as Lindsey, who brings her extended family to Walt Disney World for the holidays, only to find herself staying next door to Philip — played by Travis Van Winkle — a first date that went badly.
As their families keep crossing paths around the resort, the tension between them begins to soften. A wish made at Cinderella Fountain suggests the story isn't heading where either of them expected.
The cast also includes Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander, with Patrick Renna in a cameo. Ryan Landels wrote the script and directs.
A merchandise line tied to the film is planned for the 2026 holiday season, including greeting cards, ornaments, gifts, and wrapping items, available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores, Hallmark.com, and additional retailers to be confirmed.
Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True airs Saturday, November 28th on Hallmark Channel, with next-day streaming on Hallmark+.
