The first 2024 premiere of Christmas in July is “Falling Like Snowflakes,” starring Rebecca Dalton and Marcus Rosner, on Saturday, June 29 at 8 p.m. Eastern time. According to Hallmark’s synopsis, Teagan (played by Dalton) begrudgingly accepts help from her ex (Rosner) as she’s “determined to capture a photograph of the elusive 12-sided snowflake in the local mountains. They soon find themselves seeking safety in the eye of an oncoming storm and making a new and unexpected connection.”

Multiple Hallmark Channel Stars Are Healing After Hospitalizations
Several Hallmark stars have revealed they’re healing after undergoing recent health crises. Benjamin Ayres is quietly recovering after a June surgery, and Janel Parrish is, too. Markian Tarasiuk revealed he’s physically recovered but emotionally still dealing with the aftermath of an incident that also left him hospitalized with head wounds earlier this year. On a positive note, real-life Hallmark couple Cory Lee and Ish Morris were at the hospital for a happier reason, having just welcomed their first baby!
Ryan Paevey to Release Latest Jewelry Collection
After longtime Hallmark star Ryan Paevey told Heavy last week that he’s officially taking a step back from acting, he’s ready to release his latest collection of handcrafted jewelry via his Fortunate Wanderer website. The items will all go live on Sunday, June 30, at noon Pacific time.
Pssst! Lots of Stars Are Busy Filming
There are lots of exciting projects in the works right now at Hallmark Channel. Cast members from 2023’s “Christmas on Cherry Lane,” including Erin Cahill and Catherine Bell, have been in Vancouver filming a sequel — and two more movies in the new franchise will be filmed later this summer! Also filming in Vancouver, Tarasiuk and Ian Collins are among the stars who just wrapped filming “Return to Sender,” and Brennan Elliott and Lacey Chabert are there, too, filming “His & Hers.” Tyler Hynes has been busy filming a new movie in Greece, before heading to Kansas City to start shooting the just-announced Kansas City Chiefs movie with Hunter King.
