The Hallmark Christmas Experience: A Hometown Holiday Christmas Special to be filmed during Weekend One of the Hallmark Christmas Experience with Special Musical Guest

The Hallmark Christmas Experience is kicking off its first weekend, November 28-30, with something truly special: the filming of a Christmas special. In celebration, we invite you, your family and friends to join us in bringing the holiday spirit to the heart of Kansas City and to screens across the country. The special will air nationally on the Hallmark Channel Saturday, December 6 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, and stream next day on Hallmark+.

Weekend Highlights:

  • Filming All Weekend: Crews will capture festive moments at the Hallmark Christmas Experience, throughout Crown Center Square and star-studded events inside The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center.
  • Special Guests: GRAMMY-nominated artist Mickey Guyton will perform live on-stage during Saturday evening’s free tree lighting celebration (November 29) with Hallmark stars here that weekend.
  • Experience the Square: Free to enter and explore, the Square is filled with fun for everyone. Grab a delicious treat, share warm wishes at the card sending station, find one-of-a-kind gifts from vendors, and watch dazzling tree light shows every Friday and Saturday at 6, 7, 8, and 9 p.m. and Sunday at 6, 7, and 8 p.m.
  • Stars on Stage: Join hundreds of enthusiastic Hallmark fans to see your favorite Hallmark stars like you never have before, from exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, to cheering them on as they compete in holiday-themed challenges! A limited number of tickets are still available

“This is an incredible opportunity for fans to experience the magic of Hallmark in person,” said Lindsey Roy, senior vice president of brand experiences at Hallmark. “Not only will you enjoy the festive atmosphere and tree light shows, you’ll also be part of a holiday special that will be seen by millions.”

In addition to the content captured in Kansas City, The Hallmark Christmas Experience: A Hometown Holiday Christmas Special will include exclusive first look teases and must-see programming announcements from beloved Hallmark stars, and a special performance from Brad Paisley recorded at the Grand Ole Opry.
