Hallmark Channel has released new images from Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, the Hallmark and Disney Christmas movie premiering Saturday, November 28, at 8 p.m. ET/PT as part of Countdown to Christmas 2026. The photos show Lacey Chabert, Travis Van Winkle, Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee and Taegen Burns celebrating the holidays across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs. The movie streams the next day on Hallmark+.
In the film, Lindsey, played by Chabert, takes her extended family to Walt Disney World for Christmas, only to find out her room is next door to Philip, played by Van Winkle, a disastrous first date she recently had who is there on his own family trip. As their paths keep crossing, the two start to realize they aren’t so different after all, and a wish Lindsey makes at Cinderella Fountain just might turn their rivalry into romance.
The new photos cover a lot of ground. Chabert and Van Winkle pose under a glowing Spaceship Earth at night, the whole cast gathers in Toy Story Land beside a Woody wearing a holiday scarf, and Mickey and Minnie greet the family in their Christmas outfits in front of Cinderella Castle. Scenes include Sword in the Stone, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Main Street decked out in wreaths, and a Disney Springs shopping trip with light-up Pluto hats. Two photos show Christmas morning at the Polynesian resort room, where the family’s white Disney pajamas look a lot like the Holiday Ever After family pajama set.
The cast has plenty of Disney ties, too. Christy Carlson Romano grew up on Disney Channel as the star of Even Stevens and the voice of Kim Possible, and Richard Kind voiced Bing Bong in Pixar’s Inside Out.
Judging by how readers have responded to every piece of our coverage, Disney fans and Hallmark fans are both counting down to this one, and that doesn’t happen often. The fun starts before the premiere, too. The Hallmark Holiday Pop-Up at Disney Springs is expected to open October 8 with the full Holiday Ever After collection, and we’ll be there with photos from inside. As for the movie, we can’t wait ourselves, and November 28 is already circled on our calendar.
