Hallmark Channel stars are coming to Orlando for a meet-and-greet photo op on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at Ryan’s Hallmark Shop, a Hallmark Gold Crown Store at 4066 W. Town Center Blvd. in Hunter’s Creek. The store announced the date in a save-the-date post and said details are coming soon, so the stars, times and event rules have not been named yet. The date lines up with the Orlando stop on Hallmark’s Jingle Stop Tour, which we have been following on our Hallmark Countdown to Christmas 2026 hub.
Hallmark said in September that this year’s Jingle Stop Tour would bring meet-and-greets to Gold Crown Stores in Chicago, Orlando and Asheville, North Carolina. Ryan’s post does not use the tour name, but the details fit. It is a Gold Crown Store in Orlando, and November 19 falls nine days before Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True premieres Saturday, November 28, at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. Orlando is on the tour because of that movie, which filmed at Walt Disney World.
Chicago is the best guide to what Orlando might look like. The first stop was October 14 at Little Green Apple, a Gold Crown Store in Arlington Heights, where Jonathan Bennett, Erin Cahill, James Denton, Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney met fans from 2 to 4 p.m. None of the five starred in Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story, the movie that put Chicago on the tour. Fans hoping to meet Lacey Chabert at Ryan’s should wait for the lineup before building plans around her.
The week could hold more than photos. Hallmark’s announcement said the tour would bring movie premieres along with the meet-and-greets. In Chicago, Hallmark and the Bears held a red carpet premiere and screening at the Gorton Center in Lake Forest the night before the Arlington Heights stop. Hallmark has not announced a premiere event for Holiday Ever After. A screening in Orlando the same week as the Ryan’s meet-and-greet would follow the Chicago playbook, and we will be watching for it.
This one is close to home for us. Ryan’s is our hometown Hallmark store and the shop we buy from ourselves. We call it the Loop store because the drive takes us right through The Loop on John Young Parkway, but the store sits a few minutes north in Hunter’s Creek on Town Center Boulevard. Put that address in your map, not The Loop. Back in September we guessed this stop would land at Disney Springs, then moved our guess to a local Gold Crown Store after Chicago. We are glad the second guess was right, and even happier that it is our store.
Ryan’s says more details are coming soon, and you can watch for them on Ryan’s Hallmark Shop’s Instagram. Chicago’s stop ran two hours on a weekday afternoon, so if Orlando follows that model, expect a line and plan to arrive early once times are posted. We will add the stars, times and any premiere news to our Countdown to Christmas hub as soon as Ryan’s or Hallmark shares them.
