Hallmark has an endearing dog tale in the works! The Cinemaholic can reveal that the network has ordered the television film ‘Howliday Season.’ The project will begin filming next month in Vancouver, British Columbia. The plot revolves around a tourism blogger and a pet rescue owner who are brought together when their dogs become a viral sensation as an adorable “doggy couple.” As their pets’ romance captures the hearts of viewers, the two owners start to feel a connection as they discover that love might be blossoming between them. Terry Ingram is at the helm.
Ingram is a veteran when it comes to Christmas-based television films. He previously helmed ‘The Mistletoe Secret,’ ‘Time for You to Come Home for Christmas,’ ‘Deliver by Christmas,’ and ‘Christmas She Wrote.’ His most recent work is Hallmark’s ‘Gilded Newport Mysteries: Murder at the Breakers.’
Earlier this year, Hallmark introduced another heartwarming dog-centric romance with ‘Everything Puppies,’ directed by Marni Banack. The TV movie centers on a passionate entrepreneur and inventor who is determined to revolutionize the pet industry with her innovative dog toys and treats. Her journey to success takes an exciting turn when she gains the unexpected support of a charming client, leading to both professional triumph and personal connection. As their business relationship blossoms into something more, they must navigate the challenges of their budding romance. The film features Pascal Lamothe-Kipnes, Stephen Huszar, and Kathryn Davis.
Last year, Hallmark offered us ‘The Dog Lover’s Guide to Dating,’ a romantic comedy starring Rebecca Dalton and Corey Sevier, directed by Craig Pryce. The movie follows Simon, a man convinced that Chloe is his perfect match—except for one significant hurdle: her fiercely loyal dog just isn’t on board. Determined to win over Chloe and her pup, Simon turns to Alex, a skilled dog trainer, for help. As Alex works her magic with the dog, Simon begins to realize that his most robust connection might not be with Chloe after all but with the dog trainer who’s been by his side all along. This playful and heartfelt story explores how love can take unexpected turns, especially when dogs are involved.
British Columbia remains a favorite filming location for Hallmark, with Vancouver serving as the scenic backdrop for multiple productions. Along with ‘Howliday Season,’ the network’s ‘Confessions of a Christmas Letter‘ will also be shot in the city.
