Christmas and Hallmark holiday movies are something of an American tradition at this point. And among this year’s roster of films is one called ‘Christmas She Wrote’. In the film, when writer Kayleigh has her column canceled before Christmas, she heads home to reconnect with family. But soon, right during the holidays, she receives an unexpected visit from the man who canceled her column. Even as Kayleigh is not stopping her writing – now doing it for a local paper – sparks fly between her and Tripp. 

‘Christmas She Wrote’ promises to be standard Hallmark thoroughfare, after all, it is full of names who have been part of the Hallmark family for a long time. From writers to directors to actors, they’re all veterans of what has now become a genre in its own right. So, let’s take a look at the film’s cast!
