‘Crashing Through the Snow’ Star Amy Acker on Getting Steamy With Warren Christie
Would you go on a family trip with your ex and his girlfriend? If you’re divorced Maggie (Amy Acker) and you don’t want to spend your first holiday away from your two young kids, the answer is a reluctant yes. But, in Hallmark’s Christmas in July offering, Crashing Through the Snow, Maggie may find love with Sam (Warren Christie), the brother of Maggie’s ex’s girlfriend.
But, as is often the case with Hallmark romances, Maggie and Sam start out not liking each other very much when they meet at the Aspen getaway. “It’s hard to say exactly why she doesn’t like Sam at the beginning. [Granted] he’s a little cocky [and] a little bit of a know-it-all,” Acker says. The show also tackles some blended family issues about a mother seeing her kids connecting with the ex’s new girlfriend. Awkward!
The film also gets a bit steamy (literally) when Maggie and Sam end up in some warm water late at night during the Aspen getaway. “It was a wonderful 92 degrees or something and we just got to sit in these amazing hot springs,” Acker reveals, adding in the interview that Mother Nature added her own touch to the scene by having real snow appear while they were shooting.
Watch the interview above for more details about this charming film.

Loved the movie. Not your typical Hallmark blather but more in tune with real life. About time you stepped up your game Hallmark to more resemble real life. Adore Warren Christie. Very under rated actor.

The casting was perfect. Chemistry between Acker and Christie was off the charts. The kiss at the end made the snow melt sonewhere up North. I loved it. I believe the Chemistry was REAL. Not acting !

In some ways this was the worst CAST film I've ever seen among the HALLMARK many movie series. I know many times the actors portraying the characters are gay in real life. But they are always gorgeous & rugged, so you would never know it & who cares anyway? However, in this movie the actor cast as divorced MAGGIE's ex-husband could not have come across more gay unless there was a flashing neon sign above his head. In the commercials for the movie, I assumed this was going to be a gay character in the movie & was shocked he was playing her ex & the currently engaged man of another WOMAN! To me this made his role as her ex, & soon new husband of his fiancee, making Maggie SO JEALOUS ridiculous. As an example, when he apologized to Maggie for not telling her two children about his actually getting married, it came across more like two girl friends talking than a former married couple. I would have thought HALLMARK would have chosen a more masculine man for the role that Maggie would really be jealous of losing to another woman. Instead, she should have forgotten that loser & thanked her LUCKY STARS to meet the new bride's brother, SAM. What a catch he was over her former swishy husband!
