Christmas in Notting Hill

Matt Roush says...

Who needs sparkly lights when you can just sit back and watch the glow of Christmas movies from the comfort of your living room? Weekend highlights include four on Hallmark Channel, starting with two on Saturday: Christmas in Notting Hill (6/5c) stars William Moseley as a famous soccer star who returns to the U.K. neighborhood for the holiday and falls for the American (Sarah Ramos) who has no idea who he is; Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up (8/7c) brings back the busy Lacey Chabert as Emily, who with Jared (Wes Brown) and her neighbors on Evergreen Lane get awfully competitive when it comes to their Christmas decorations. Two more on Sunday: Our Christmas Mural (6/5c) pairs single mom Alex Paxton-Beesley with teacher Dan Jeannotte in a mural contest. Followed by A Biltmore Christmas (8/7c), the inventive story of Lucy (Bethany Joy Lenz), a screenwriter penning a remake of a (fictional) black-and-white holiday movie who magically finds herself whisked back in time to black-and-white 1947, where she falls for the movie’s star (Kristoffer Polaha). Filmed on location at North Carolina’s historic Biltmore estate.
