Get excited, When Calls the Heart fans: Kevin McGarry is helping Hallmark kick off the holidays early!
The network’s annual “Countdown to Christmas” event starts on October 16, with stars from the hit drama appearing in some of the 34 movies airing from mid-October to mid-December.
Kevin will star in The Christmas Eve Feast, alongside Daniella Monet and Toni Ellwand. The film, which is executive produced by Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis, will premiere Friday, November 27, 2026, at 6 p.m. ET on Hallmark.
The Christmas Eve Feast will focus on Silvana “Silvy” Gianetti (Daniella), an executive chef who’s fed up with her job at a swanky New York eatery. She then learns her Nonna has a minor, unexpected injury—and heads to Boston to help her family prepare the annual “Feast of the Seven Fishes” Christmas Eve meal.
There, she meets Ethan (Kevin), a photographer who’s developed a close relationship with her Nonna. As the two grow closer, he captures new memories for Silvy’s family while she starts to realize what—and who—matter most in her life.
This marks Kevin’s second Hallmark movie in two months. He’s also appearing in The Spirit of Halloween, which is slated to premiere on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET.
We can’t wait to tune in!
