A Holiday Spectacular is a brand new 2022 Hallmark holiday movie premiering during their annual Countdown to Christmas lineup. It premieres on November 27, 2022 on Hallmark Channel. Details on the cast and plot are below, plus see some photos from the film.
In 1958, Philadelphia heiress Maggie (Ginna Claire Mason) puts her high-society wedding plans on hold in order to sneak up to New York City and make her secret dream come true. She wants to dance live on stage in the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. Although her family thinks she’s in NYC with a boarding school friend, Maggie’s living a whole different life. She falls in love with New York and dancing with the Rockettes. Maggie soon feels caught between two worlds, and things become more complicated after she meets a U.S. Navy photographer named John (Derek Klena). Will Maggie find the courage to tell her family what she wants for her future instead of accepting the future that was decided for her?
