Van Winkle Returns to Hallmark for 2026 Holiday Movie
Hallmark Channel and Disney World are collaborating on an exciting new project. It was announced December 2025 during the network’s Christmas special that their collaboration would be in the form of a new Christmas film, “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True.” The film stars the “Queen of Hallmark” herself, Lacey Chabert, and Van Winkle. This marks the first time that Chabert and Van Winkle will star together in a film.
The cast also includes Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander.
The official synopsis of the film reads, “Lindsey (Lacey Chabert) and her extended family head to Walt Disney World to spend a magical Christmas together. But the dream of a jolly holiday gets quickly dashed when Lindsey discovers her room is next door to Philip (Travis Van Winkle), a disastrous first date she recently had, who’s also there on a family trip. As Lindsey and Philip’s paths cross throughout their stay, the frost starts to thaw as they learn they’re not so different from each other after all. Thanks to some Walt Disney World magic, the holiday wish Lindsey made in Cinderella Fountain just might turn their rivalry into romance,” per Hallmark Channel.
It is set to premiere during 2026’s annual “Countdown to Christmas” programming lineup.
In April 2026, Chabert shared the poster for the film on her Instagram.
“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!” the actress wrote in her April 7 post.
