Hallmark Disney World Movie Coming This Year
This year will feature a first-time-ever collaboration with Walt Disney World and Hallmark Channel to debut an original holiday movie called Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True.
This new film will star Lacey Chabert, Travis Van Winkle, Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander, with Patrick Renna in a cameo role. These are among the celebrities who were spotted filming at Walt Disney World. Lacey Chabert is well known for her iconic holiday roles on the Hallmark Channel, so when fans first spotted her, it was easy to guess that a Disney-themed Hallmark Channel movie was on the way!

The trailer reveals some of the Disney World locations that will be featured in the film, including Main Street U.S.A., Cinderella Castle, the Snow White Wishing Well, the Jingle Cruise (the holiday version of the Jungle Cruise), EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. One glance also shows the couple from the film dancing at Biergarten restaurant in EPCOT!
It's also fun to see the stars decked out in full traditional Disney theme park apparel like Disney Loungefly bags, Minnie Ears, and Disney Parks holiday sweaters. This collaboration is a fun crossover for Disney and Hallmark fans, and there is often significant overlap between the two audiences, especially given the popular Disney Parks ornament collections Hallmark releases each year and the consistent lineup of Disney ornaments on Amazon.
