On Thursday, Hallmark announced two new Christmas series set to premiere this holiday season,Project Christmas Joy: AlabamaandChristmas Cookie Countdown.
Project Christmas Joy: Alabamawill give one town seriously lacking festive spirit a much-needed dose of holiday cheer. The show will transform the town into a picturesque Hallmark movie scene, complete with extravagant tree lights and plenty of mistletoe.
“This show aligns perfectly with Hallmark Drama’s exclusive offering of original content,” said Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Crown Media Family Networks. “We look forward to bringing Hallmark holiday joy to a special town in Alabama for the 2019 Christmas season.”
