How did the Hallmark Countdown To Christmas When Calls The Heart reunion of Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing movie happen? Erin explains who was behind this and why this highly-anticipated reunion took so long to happen.
Here are the details.
Erin Krakow Calls Working With Daniel Lissing On Hallmark Movie ‘Magical’
Hearties have been waiting for years for Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing to work together again. Now, the former on-screen When Calls The Heart couple is reunited in the Christmas movie Santa Tell Me. Recently, Erin Krakow spoke to Swoon about why it took so long for this reunion and how this was “magical.”
We had talked about it years ago, trying to find a project or create an opportunity that would bring us together again.
I think that I just became very focused on When Calls The Heart, and Dan has other projects that he’s been working on, so it kind of took a backseat for a while, and then this was just a really fun surprise when the opportunity to reunite came about.
What was the opportunity? Erin shared that Hallmark came up with the idea for the two former costars to play Olivia and Chris. “They thought that it would be really fun for us to reunite on a more contemporary project.”
Most of all, Erin shared that the story in the script “jumped off the page.” She added, “It had so much humor, tenderness, magic, and fun.”
What Is Santa Tell Me About?
The new Hallmark Countdown To Christmas movie Santa Tell Me is about Interior designer Olivia, and Chris, a television producer of reality shows. Olivia is tasked with working on her childhood home. There, she finds a letter from Santa who tells her who is her soulmate. His name is Nick, and she will meet him before Christmas.
Despite her busy work schedule, Olivia winds up meeting three different guys named Nick, and all are in contention. Meanwhile, things with Chris are not going so great. However, there is definitely some sparks there. Now, Olivia must navigate this situation. Moreover, she may get some help from the big man, Santa Claus. There could be some Christmas magic at work here.
Will Hallmark Stars Reunite In The Future?
Now that Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing have reunited, Hearties may want to know if the pair will star in another Hallmark movie. She shared that her focus is on finishing up When Calls The Heart Season 12. However, she is open to another reunion with Dan.
Santa Tell Me premieres on Saturday, November 9, at 8 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel.
