Will Hallmark’s Alleged Christmas Series Holidazed Finally Premiere?
Nearly two years ago, there was a lot of talk about Hallmark filming a Christmas series called Holidazed. Surprisingly, it did not premiere for Countdown To Christmas 2023. Could it premiere in 2024? A 15th anniversary would be a fantastic reason for the network to launch something special like this. What is it about?
According to IMDb, “Follows five families in Oak Bay, Oregon, who live on the same cul de sac, as they deal with the joys and stress of coming home for the holidays.” Some of the names attached are Nazneen Contractor, Ian Harding, Lucie Guest, and Ser’Darius Blain.

What Could Be Next Fun Surprise This Hallmark Christmas?
Although Hallmark has not revealed their next big Countdown To Christmas surprise, it is guaranteed they want to do some exciting projects to delight their fans. One idea that seems possible is a Wedding Veil Christmas Movie or a trilogy of Christmas movies.
This idea was casually mentioned by a journalist from Vulture who interviewed Hallmark Media EVP of Programming, Lisa Hamilton Daly at the end of last year. After being asked whether they considered a holiday movie about Avery, Tracy, and Emma, Daly admitted that they had not thought of this idea. But, she seemed to like it. She did reveal that they wanted to do another movie with the trio, or a third trilogy. Therefore, this seems possible.
Another idea that the many fans of Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott’s series of All Of My Heart movies is the idea of a holiday movie.
While these are just a few ideas, Hallmark likely has some different fantastic ideas that should delight Christmas movie fans during the holiday season. What movies would you like to see the network make for the holidays?
