Have you ever wished you could step inside a Hallmark Christmas movie? Now, you have the chance.
Hallmark is bringing the world of its holiday movies to life in the first-ever Hallmark Christmas Experience.

Plus, attendees will get the chance to see some of their favorite Hallmark Channel stars, including Jonathan Bennett and Lacey Chabert, in person.
What is the Hallmark Christmas Experience?
The Hallmark Christmas Experience is an immersive experience designed by Hallmark’s creative team. It will “bring all the charm of a Hallmark movie town square to life, inviting guests to be merry, make memories, and find magic together.”
