  • Madison 

A Magical Christmas Village is an original Christmas movie that will air on the Hallmark Channel during the Countdown to Christmas 2022 on Friday November 4th. It will star Alison Sweeney, Luke Macfarlane and Marlo Thomas. It joins other originals like A Cozy Christmas Inn and We Wish You a Married Christmas. See more details about the movie, the plot, photos and the cast.


What is A Magical Christmas Village About?

Summer (Sweeney) is an architect living in a small town where she’s raising her young
daughter Chloe (Maesa Nicholson, “Dying for Chocolate: A Curious Caterer Mystery”). When her mother Vivian (Thomas) finds herself in need of a place to live, her orderly life becomes a little less so after inviting Vivian to move in with them during this transition. Upon arrival, Vivian sets up an heirloom, miniature Christmas village resembling their town, and tells Chloe it grants Christmas wishes.

As Chloe begins setting up the figurines, real-life events seem to mimic the scenes she creates, including Summer’s chance meeting with Ryan (Macfarlane), a newcomer to their community. The two quickly learn they share much in common and as they spend more time together, Ryan slowly helps Summer learn to open her hear to love again. Meanwhile, living under the same roof gives Summer and Vivian the chance to mend fences as the holiday nears and, perhaps with a little help from the magic of the Christmas village, the family will be brought closer together.
