Disney World and Hallmark Unite to Make the Christmas Movie of the Year

If you’ve ever watched a Hallmark Christmas movie and thought, “This would be even better if it took place at Disney World,” well… your wish just came true. Disney and Hallmark have officially joined forces to create a brand-new holiday movie filmed right inside the parks, and honestly, it feels like the kind of pairing that should have happened years ago.

Hallmark is known for its warm, feel-good Christmas stories—the kind that make you smile even when you already know exactly where the plot is heading. Disney World, on the other hand, is one of the most joyful places you can visit during the holidays. The decorations, the atmosphere, the music—everything is designed to put you in a festive mood the moment you walk in. That’s why this movie collaboration feels so perfectly natural.

The upcoming film is called Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, and it stars Lacey Chabert alongside a cast packed with familiar Hallmark personalities. The plot follows Lindsey, who takes a Christmas trip to Disney World with her family. Things get complicated (and amusing) when she winds up staying next door to Philip, a man she once had a truly awful first date with. They run into each other everywhere they go, and eventually, the tension between them starts to transform into something a lot sweeter.

While the romance is classic Hallmark, the setting adds a whole new layer of fun. Imagine awkward run-ins happening in front of Cinderella Castle, or heartfelt conversations unfolding during snowfall on Main Street. For people who visit Disney World during the holidays, those scenes will feel incredibly familiar.

Because let’s be honest—Disney World in November and December already looks like a holiday movie set. The giant Christmas trees, the glowing decorations, the festive parades, the cocoa stands… it’s all designed to create that warm holiday feeling the moment you arrive. Filming inside the parks makes the story feel even more authentic.

Hallmark is even planning special merchandise tied to the movie, which means fans can bring home ornaments, cards, and holiday gifts inspired by the project. It’s another layer of festive fun for people who love both brands.

At the end of the day, this collaboration captures the heart of the season. Hallmark delivers the emotional storytelling, Disney delivers the atmosphere, and together they’re creating something that feels destined to become a holiday favorite.
