The first official movie poster for Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True is here, giving fans a preview of the upcoming Hallmark Channel film shot entirely at Walt Disney World.

Star Lacey Chabert shared the poster on Instagram, writing: "That first time you see the movie poster for Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True. We can't wait to share our movie with you during Countdown to Christmas!"

Filming wrapped at Walt Disney World in late February, completing production on the first on-location collaboration between Hallmark Channel and Disney.

The film stars Chabert alongside Travis Van Winkle, with a cast that also includes Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander. Patrick Renna appears in a cameo role.

Chabert plays Lindsey, who brings her extended family to Walt Disney World for Christmas. Her plans run into trouble when she discovers she's staying next door to Philip - played by Van Winkle - a first date that went poorly. As their families keep crossing paths around the resort, the tension between them starts to soften. A holiday wish made at Cinderella Fountain hints that their early rivalry may be heading somewhere else entirely.

Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True will premiere during Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas lineup in 2026 - the 17th annual edition of the franchise event. Ryan Landels wrote the script and directs.

Hallmark and Disney will also release a merchandise line tied to the film, including greeting cards, ornaments, gifts, and wrapping items. Those will be available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores, Hallmark.com, and additional retailers to be announced.

Agreed! I mean - don’t you work for a corporation - I know I do?. Hallmark wil be leading the charge if the AI is good enough. It will start with script-writing.

I imagine they did some of both. There were several photos of them filming in the parks during regular operating hours - they were spotted in Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and the Polynesian ... maybe more. Believe they also filmed in two different blocks of time -- one before Christmas and one in January. Their filming is said to be why the decorations on Main Street stayed up longer than usual this year.

So how exactly did they film this thing? Was all filming done with the parks were closed? Or did they keep guests out of areas where they were shooting?

the funniest part about this is that lacey chabert posted a screenshot of the poster (see that icon covering up the hallmark+ logo in the lower right corner?) and now all of the fan sites are sharing that screenshot because there was no official release of the high-quality source image

I think this is absolutely hysterical (need to play next movie I watch) and also very spot-on. That said, it's the formulaic nature I'm seeking - I WANT over-the-top Christmas decor and vibes, a guaranteed happy ending, and a somewhat mindless watch.

I'm surprised they didn't ask Erin Cahill former Pink time force power ranger and she was the host of 04-06 WDW vacation planning dvd But, she does have quite a plethora of Hallmark movies under her so this would have been a win win if they did have her instead of Lacey.
