Hallmark has been serving up a smorgasbord of holly and jolly holiday films, but the fun won't stop once the new year begins. In order to keep the (snow) ball rolling on delightful content, the network is kicking off a Winterfest filled with five new films, three of which feature soap opera stars.
A Winter Princess, starring Natalie Hall (ex-Colby Chandler, All My Children), is set to premiere on Friday, January 18. The rom-com follows Hall as an undercover princess who needs to plan a ski retreat's 50th anniversary party with the owner's handsome brother, Ben (Chris McNally).

Winter Love Story, starring Days of our Lives' Jen Lilley (ex-Theresa Donovan), is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, January 19, and follows two authors who team up for a road trip to promote their new books. At the beginning of the tour, first-time novelist Cassie (Lilley) thinks veteran writer Elliot (Kevin McGarry) is pompous and full of himself, but she soon finds herself falling in love with him. Can the authors write a happy future together? For a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of the film, click here.
SnowComing, starring DAYS' Trevor Donovan (ex-Jeremy Horton), is set to debut on Saturday, January 26, and follows high school sweethearts Samantha (Lindy Booth) and Jake (Donovan), who reunite at their old stomping grounds at a holiday event called SnowBall. The pair discover they're both still very much in love, but Jake might spoil their romance once again when he's forced to leave town for his job.
Hallmark will be airing a preview special of all the films, hosted by Taylor Cole and Rukiya Bernard, on Saturday, December 29, at 10 PM EST. For an early preview of all the 2019 Winterfest films, including Winter Castle and One Winter Proposal (which don't feature daytime alums), click here.
