Rocky Mountain Christmas (aka Unbridled Love) (TV Movie)

Following the death of an aunt, Sarah returns home to her Uncle’s farm for the holidays. Although she was hoping to find comfort in her family’s Christmas traditions, her uncle’s plan is to avoid them altogether. In the midst of their tension, a handsome hollywood star named Graham comes knocking, looking to use the farm as research for his next movie. It takes some wooing for Graham to convince Sarah to let him use the property, but as he begins his work, Sarah finds herself in love with Graham. Between her family struggles and her new romance with Graham, Sarah winds up with a Christmas she’ll never forget.

Rocky Mountain Christmas stars Oakville, Ontario native Lindy Booth (Dawn of the Dead, The Librarians), Kristoffer Polaha (Where Hope Grows, Get Shorty) and Treat Williams (Chesapeake Shores, Chicago Fire).

Rocky Mountain Christmas will continue filming in Vancouver and British Columbia until November 22nd and will premiere less than a month later; December 16th on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in the US.

Royal New Year’s Eve (TV Movie)

Caitlyn is a struggling fashion designer who’s recently met a handsome man named Jeff. Under the impression that Jeff is a likewise struggling model, Caitlyn begins to grow fond of him. She’s then given a once in a lifetime opportunity to design a New Year’s Eve ballgown for Lady Isabelle. The problem is, she soon realizes that Lady Isabelle’s boyfriend, Prince Jeffrey, is actually the not-so-struggling Jeff. In a very royal manner, Jeff must wed Lady Isabelle in order to secure his spot on the iron throne.

If things weren’t awkward enough, Caitlyn and Jeff being forced to work together to plan the ball. The romance between the pair begins to grow as Caitlyn shows Jeff some of the things he’s missed out on by being brought up as a royal. Along the way, Jeff reveals that he’s only getting engaged out of respect for his country, but it’s not what or who he really wants.

An early visit from King Richard, and a rival fashion designer’s efforts to sabotage the event nearly send Caitlyn spiralling out of control. Their only hope is to let true love prevail.

Royal New Year’s Eve stars Jessy Schram (Nashville) and Sam Page (Self/less). Jessy is a veteran when it comes to filming in Vancouver. She’s spent a lot of time in the area for Falling Skies and Once Upon a Time where she portrayed Ashley Boyd/Cinderella as recently as last year. Hallmark fans will recognize Sam from All Things Valentine, which also filmed in Vancouver and area.

Royal New Year’s Eve will continue filming in Vancouver and British Columbia until November 18th and will premiere December 30th at 8pm on the Hallmark Channel in the US as part of its Countdown to Christmas series.
