Williams wrote about the movie on Instagram: “I HAVE SOMETHING EXCITING!! Yeee!! Tomorrow night! A whole Christmas Hallmark movie we MADE with our whole hearts for YOU to cuddle up and enjoy. It’s called a Holiday Hearts and you guys, this is a cute one. @paulcampbellofficial and I laughed so hard all through the making of this movie. Snow fell. We danced. We made a snow man doing a headstand. We decorated ALL the cookies and MAYBE our characters also kinda fell in love. Maybe! Come watch the #Christmas magic. It’s just cute. You will love it, I promise. Tell your friends and aunts and grandmas and watch with your kids and have them tell all their friends too. Kay? Saturday night. 9pm. @hallmarkmovie #moviesandmysteries if you watch it, tag #holidayhearts I’ll be live tweeting along with you. THANK YOU!!”

Campbell also shared some behind-the-scenes photos.
From one of his tweets, it appears the movie was originally called The Christmas Wish.
Here is another behind-the-scenes video.
Paul Campbell shared plethora of video via Insta stories of his final day on THE CHRISTMAS WISH, which might now be known as HOLIDAY HEARTS. We’ll see if new title sticks, but Lifetime has A CHRISTMAS WISH on their schedule, so title change makes sense
The movie is based on a book by Barbara Ankum.
Paul Campbell sharing lots of photos from THE CHRISTMAS WISH set, filming now near Vancouver, via Instagram (t.co/Av3NRMBhl8), including one with author Barbara Ankum, whose book the movie is based on.
