Hallmark+ is churning out original content this holiday season to set the streaming app apart from linear cable programming. They have announced their Very Merry Holiday Collection which include seven movies and four holiday series! Let’s dive into the Unwrapping Christmas four movie series coming to Hallmark+ this November.
Unwrapping Christmas: A Closer Look
Unwrapping Christmas is a series of movies about the lives of a group of friends who all work together at All Wrapped Up. We have Tina, the owner, Mia the accountant, Lily the head of marketing, and Olivia the gift wrapping expert.
Max McGuire directed Olivia and Tina’s movies Max has 34 directing credits including Noel Next Door and Romance with a Twist.
Amy Force directed Mia and Lily’s storylines. Amy has 14 directing credits including two installments of The Love Club.
Due to the nature of this ensemble cast, Max and Amy had some crossover directing scenes!

Our First Impression: We can’t help but be wary of any storyline that hints at royalty. But hey, we’re all in on romance novels come to life. We think.

Stars: Cindy Busby (A Whitewater Romance, Everything Christmas), Jake Epstein (Mistletoe Murders, Eight Gifts of Hanukkah)
