Xmas (known as #Xmas) is a new Hallmark Channel original holiday film starring Brant Daugherty and Clare Bowen. It premieres on November 25 as part of the network’s annual Countdown to Christmas event. Find out more about the movie below, including plot and photos.
Jen (Clare Bowen) is an interior designer who discovers that Hygge Home is having a contest to select a resident designer. She’s thrilled about the opportunity, until she realizes it’s focused on social media. Jen wants to be taken seriously for her talent, not because of showy social media posts. She avoids revealing anything personal online, but after her best friend Max (Brant Daugherty) encourages her, she applies as “Jen T,” a put-together design influencer. Max is playing her husband and her nephew portrays their baby. To Jen’s surprise, she’s selected as a finalist and is torn between continuing to play the “perfect family” or telling the truth. During all this, she develops deeper bonds with her family and friends, especially Max, who she begins to see in a romantic light.
