Hallmark Channel just released a fresh batch of photos from Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, and this time we get to see the film’s cast spread across all four Walt Disney World parks, not just Cinderella Castle.
If you caught our earlier post on the Hallmark pop-up shop at Disney Springs, this is the movie itself finally coming into focus, and the new photos genuinely deliver on the promise.
The new images show Lacey Chabert, Travis Van Winkle, Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, and Taegen Burns celebrating the holidays across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney Springs. Chabert and Van Winkle pose under a glowing Spaceship Earth at night, the full cast gathers in Toy Story Land next to a Woody sporting a holiday scarf, and Mickey and Minnie greet the family in their Christmas outfits in front of Cinderella Castle. Other scenes take the story through Sword in the Stone, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, a wreath-covered Main Street, and a Disney Springs shopping trip complete with light-up Pluto hats. Two photos also show a Christmas morning scene at a Polynesian resort room, with the family dressed in white pajamas that closely match the actual Holiday Ever After family pajama set sold as part of the movie’s merchandise tie-in.
For anyone catching up, the premise follows Lindsey, played by Chabert, who brings her extended family to Walt Disney World for Christmas, only to discover her room sits right next door to Philip, played by Van Winkle, a recent first date that went disastrously. As their paths keep crossing throughout the trip, the two start to realize they might not be as different as that first date suggested, and a wish Lindsey makes at the Cinderella Fountain sets the film’s central will-they-won’t-they in motion.
Holiday Ever After premieres Saturday, November 28 at 8 PM ET/PT as part of Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas 2026, and it streams the following day on Hallmark+. This marks the first time Disney and Hallmark have partnered on an original movie together, and it’s also the first time Chabert and Van Winkle have starred opposite each other. Production wrapped back in February after roughly three months of on-location filming at Walt Disney World, a scale of access that’s genuinely rare for a Hallmark production and one that Disney almost certainly helped make possible.
With the film premiering in exactly two months and the Hallmark pop-up shop already open at Disney Springs selling merchandise tied to the movie, this crossover is clearly building toward a real moment for both brands’ fans this holiday season.
We’ll keep tracking Holiday Ever After as the premiere gets closer, so check back with Theme Park Scope for updates, and follow us on social so you don’t miss it.
