A Big Fat Family Christmas on Hallmark – Cast, Photos & How To Watch

A Big Fat Family Christmas is a 2022 original Hallmark Channel movie airing on December 2, 2022 as part of the network’s annual Countdown to Christmas lineup. Starring Shannon Chan-Kent and Shannon Kook, the film features a celebration of Chinese American culture. Get details on the plot, cast, see photos and more now.


What is A Big Fat Family Christmas About?

Liv Chang (Shannon Chan-Kent) is a photographer at the San Francisco Chronicle and lives a low-key life. As a social media influencer, she goes by the name Liv Rose. Her family, on the other hand, represents something a bit more loud, proud and Chinese. They are the infamous Chang family, responsible for throwing the biggest, annual holiday block party in the neighborhood. Their party is a celebration of Chinese American culture, which Liv thinks is over the top.

She has managed to keep her family a secret until she is forced to partner with Henry (Shannon Kook), a new coworker, to cover the annual celebration. Liv and Henry work closely together to capture the story behind party and, in a moment of fun, almost ruin it by losing all the donations from the community. Liv’s resolve to make things right for her family and the community forces her to overcome her resistance to her heritage and open up to her followers for help. Ultimately this helps her find herself and true love in the process.
