Hallmark actress Heather Hemmens brought some serious star power to the Merry Masquerade party aboard this year’s Hallmark Christmas Cruise, delivering a powerful cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” on the cruise’s third day. Wearing a gorgeous, sparkling red gown with a dramatic leg slit, Hemmens lit up the evening’s event with a performance that gave fans something extra to celebrate this holiday season.
Although Hallmark has yet to produce a musical movie or announce plans for one, Hemmens’ time in the spotlight got fans thinking about what it might look like if the network ever ventured into the genre. With her stage presence and vocal talent on full display, the actress certainly made a compelling case. And if that day ever comes, something tells us fans would be more than happy to sing along!
