Girls Gone Hallmark is getting into the Christmas spirit this July with a special lineup of fan-favorite movies recommended by the Girls Gone Hallmark Facebook group. This week, Megan and Wendy review "A Bride for Christmas," featuring Andrew Walker in a refreshingly against-type role, made even better by his hilariously terrible best friend played by Peter Benson. The well-rounded cast also includes Arielle Kebbel and Kimberly Sustad. Tune in to hear what Girls Gone Hallmark thought! What is your favorite Christmas movie?

News and Notes About "A Bride for Christmas" * This movie originally premiered on December 12, 2012 as part of the 3rd annual Countdown to Christmas line up. * "A Bride for Christmas" was directed by Gary Yates. Yates currently has 43 directing credits and since this movie has gone on to direct many Hallmark movies including “Christmas By Starlight,” “On the 12th Date of Christmas” and “Merry and Bright” amongst others. * Barbara Kymlicka wrote the script for this movie. We just reviewed another movie written by Barbara Kymlicka called “A Very Merry Mix-Up” which came out a year after “A Bride for Christmas.” Kymlicka is a 2-time nominee and 1-time winner of the Canadian Screen Awards for best writing. * Arielle Kibbel plays runaway bride Jessie. This appears to have been Arielle’s first project for Hallmark Channel. She went on to co-star with Andrew Walker again in the 2015 movie “Bridal Wave.” We last saw her on Hallmark last year in “Love in the Great Smoky Mountains: A National Park Romance.” * Andrew Walker plays Aidan. Walker just starred in the June 2024 movie “For Love & Honey.” He will also co-star in the highly anticipated “The Wisemen and a Baby” premiering later this year. * Kimberley Sustad plays sister Vivian. This was Kimberley’s first project for Hallmark. * Peter Benson plays co-worker Matt Harper. Peter not only has a very extensive resume of movies he’s acted it, he is also a busy producer and director. We’ll see Benson appear in the forthcoming “The Cases of Mystery Lane: Death is Listening.” * Karen Kruper plays Jessie and Vivian’s mom Suzie. Karen recently co-starred with Kimberley Sustad in “To All a Good Night” as well as “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New” and “The Wedding Veil Expectations” - all in 2023. * Sage Brocklebank plays ex Mike.
