Christmas might still be more than two months away, but the anticipation to the festive day is even more fun. The festival is special to most people not just because of the gifts and scrumptious food but also the time spent with loved ones and family. It also gives a very warm and fuzzy feeling.
And what better way than snuggling in a sofa with the family or a loved one and watching a movie. As part of their 'Countdown to Christmas' programming event, Hallmark will premiere the movie 'Jungle Bell Bride'. Here's all you need to know about it.
Release date

Plot
The official release by the channel states that the story is about Jessica Perez, a New York City wedding planner. She is putting the final touches on
the Christmas Eve wedding of pop sensation Renee, but faces a last minute challenge when the bride requests to change her flower to a rare bloom – the Jingle Bell Flower.
This specific last-minute request sends Jessica searching for it and it lands her in the remote Alaskan town of Tapeesa. Even though she plans to return immediately with the flowers, things don't go according to plan. Since she had to extend her stay, Jessica joins the townspeople in the holiday celebrations that are part of the annual Jingle Bell Festival and becomes close with Matt, her ride from the airport and whose family is hosting her while she’s in town.
Even though the people open up to Jessica, her focus is to return to New York and also secure the promotion she has been waiting for. Eventually, she does return but she is also sad about leaving Matt behind. So, is there a Christmas miracle in store for our protagonists? To know the answer, we have to wait for a few more days.
