Pascale Hutton is getting into the Christmas spirit early!

The 2026 “Countdown to Christmas” movie event on Hallmark kicks off on October 16, with 34 movies airing from mid-October to mid-December. The When Calls the Heart star is one of the actors in the programming; she revealed on Instagram that her new movie, Mr. & Mrs. Christmas, will premiere on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 8 p.m. on Hallmark.

Mr. & Mrs. Christmas follows single dad and holiday expert Taylor Lewis (played by Brendan Penny) as he relocates his two children to the small town of Pineway two weeks before Christmas. As he navigates family dynamics and changes at home, he decides to help revive the village’s annual Christmas Market. He and accountant Sophie Shaw (played by Pascale) learn to embrace change and create new traditions.

The news comes just a few months before Pascale heads to Kansas City, Missouri, with her When Calls the Heart cast to participate in the Hallmark Christmas Experience from December 11 to December 13.
