Hallmark’s Holly and Ivy: All Shooting Locations And Cast Details

‘Holly & Ivy’ is a Hallmark Christmas movie about the warm friendships and bonds that develop when you choose your own family. This bittersweet film focuses on emotional bonds formed through grief and togetherness and touches on adoption. The story is about Melody, who moves to a new home and becomes friends with her neighbor, Nina, a single mother to two energetic little girls, Holly and Ivy. When Nina learns that she is terminally ill, Melody promises her that she will keep Holly and Ivy together by adopting them.

Since Melody was a foster child, she understands the dynamics of adopted families. She does everything she can to make the transition easy for the girls, including renovating her fixer-upper to make room for Holly and Ivy and making her home more kid-friendly before she can adopt them. For this, Melody enlists the help of a handsome contractor, Adam, to complete the renovation in time for the holidays.
