‘General Hospital’ Alum Ryan Paevey to Star With Janel Parrish in New Hallmark Christmas Movie

Ryan Paevey and Janel Parrish to star in ‘Coyote Creek Christmas’
Production is currently underway on Coyote Creek Christmas, according to a report from ET. In the movie, Pretty Little Liars star Parrish will play a woman named Paige who has offered to help plan the annual Christmas party at the Coyote Creek Inn, her parents’ hotel in the Rocky Mountains. Paige settles on a “Christmas Around the World” theme in order to highlight the diverse holiday traditions of the hotel’s guests. She’s also hoping that if she can pull off a successful party, it will help her score a promotion at the high-end event planning company where she works.
Paevey plays Dylan, a charming real estate developer and single dad. He’s spending the holidays at Coyote Creek Inn with his young son. He and Paige start to develop a connection, but what she doesn’t know is that her parents are thinking about selling their hotel, and that Dylan is the potential buyer.
Ryan Paevey has starred in three other Hallmark Christmas movies
Coyote Creek Christmas will be former soap star Paevey’s fourth holiday movie for the feel-good network. He’s also starred in Hope at Christmas, Christmas at the Plaza, and A Timeless Christmas. His non-Christmas movies for the channel include A Summer Romance, Marrying Mr. Darcy, and Don’t Go Breaking My Heart. He most recently appeared in A Little Daytime Drama opposite Jen Lilley.
Parrish has appeared in one other Hallmark Christmas movie, 2020’s Holly & Ivy.
