Hallmark Christmas movie season is officially here, and we’re already cozied up on the couch with hot cocoa. But this year, Hallmark fans in Orlando get something even better than a movie marathon. Two Hallmark stars are coming to town, and you can meet them for free.
Lacey Chabert and Travis Van Winkle will be at a Hallmark store just outside Walt Disney World this month for a free meet-and-greet photo op. And if you love Disney and Hallmark? This one’s basically made for you.
Wait, There’s a Hallmark Disney World Movie?
Yes! And it’s a big deal. Lacey Chabert and Travis Van Winkle star in Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, which is the very first original Hallmark Channel movie filmed at Walt Disney World.
Here’s the plot. Lacey plays Lindsey, who heads to Disney World with her family for Christmas. Then she finds out Philip, played by Travis, is staying right next door with his family. The problem? Philip was a total disaster of a first date. But of course, they keep running into each other all over the place, and things slowly start to thaw.
Honestly, a Hallmark rom-com set at Disney World at Christmas? We’re already obsessed.
Here’s Where You Can Meet Them
The meet-and-greet is happening on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from noon to 2:00 PM ET at Ryan’s Hallmark Shop. It’s a Hallmark Gold Crown store at 4066 W. Town Center Blvd. in Orlando, over in Hunter’s Creek.
The store is in the Publix shopping center on Town Center Boulevard, and it’s just a short drive from Disney World. So if you’re in town, it’s super easy to swing by. Just make sure you plug that Town Center Boulevard address into your maps app so you don’t get lost.
And Yes, It’s Totally Free
You don’t need tickets or anything. Ryan’s Hallmark Shop announced the event on Instagram and Facebook as an official meet-and-greet photo op, and in a pinned comment, they made it clear that no tickets are needed and you should come early to get your spot.
And in another reply, they gave this very important piece of advice: “Be there EARLY and bring a chair too.”
Translation? It’s going to be busy. Like, really busy.
What We Don’t Know Yet
So far, the store has only called it a photo opportunity. They haven’t said anything about autographs or how the line will work, other than telling everyone to show up early.
So if you’re planning to go, definitely keep an eye on Ryan’s Hallmark Shop’s Facebook and Instagram for any last-minute updates before the 19th.
When Can You Watch the Movie?
Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True premieres Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET and 7:00 PM CT on Hallmark Channel. And if you miss it, it’ll be streaming the next day on Hallmark+.
So you can meet the stars on the 19th, then watch the movie about a week later. Pretty perfect timing.
Our Tips for the Big Day
Get there early. Like, earlier than you think. Bring a chair, because the store literally told you to. Make sure your phone is fully charged for all those photos. And bring some patience, because free events with big stars always draw a crowd.
Hallmark Meets Disney
Between a free meet-and-greet with Lacey Chabert and Travis Van Winkle and a brand-new Hallmark movie filmed at Disney World, this is shaping up to be a pretty magical November.
So, are you heading to Hunter’s Creek to meet them?
