<p class="has-medium-font-size"><a href="http://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/tag/hallmark-channel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hallmark Channel</a> is continuing its Countdown to Christmas event with the premiere of an all-new holiday movie, <em>Love, Lights, Hanukkah!</em> The film centers around the Jewish festival, Hanukkah, and the two leads are of Jewish descent and/or faith. Along with the authenticity, fans can expect the heartwarming story that Hallmark always brings. If you&#8217;re curious to learn more, including who&#8217;s in the cast, what it&#8217;s about, plus see some photos and video, keep reading below. </p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><em>Love, Lights, Hanukkah!</em> Plot + Cast</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Love, Lights, Hanukkah</em> tells the story of restauranteur, Christina (Mia Kirshner), who finds out that she&#8217;s half Jewish. This leads her to discover a new family, new holiday traditions, and maybe a new romance. Ben Savage stars as David, the man who helps Christina navigate all these revelations. Marilu Henner co-stars as Ruth, Christina&#8217;s biological mother. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Fans of <em>Star Trek: Discovery</em> will know Mia Kirshner from her recurring role as Amanda Grayson. She&#8217;s probably best known for her lead role in <em>The L Word</em> as Jenny Schecter. Mia&#8217;s done some film work too, notables including <em>The Black Dahlia</em> and <em>Not Another Teen Movie</em>. Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors; her mother is of Bulgarian and Jewish descent. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ben Savage is best known for his role of Cory Matthews on the ABC series <em>Boy Meets World</em>, and his reprisal in the Disney Channel series <em>Girl Meets World</em>. He&#8217;s since done guest spots on <em>Homeland</em>, <em>Criminal Minds</em>, and <em>Still the King</em>. This will be his first Hallmark Channel Original Movie. He was raised in Reform Judaism, and his grandparents were Jewish. </p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">Any other details?</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ahead of the premiere, Hallmark Channel has released a trailer for <em>Love, Lights, Hanukkah</em>, which you can see below:</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">One of the younger actresses in the film, Madeline Hirvonen, posted a wrap photo with Ben from set, saying that &#8220;it&#8217;s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,&#8221; so it seems like both Christmas and Hanukkah will be featured in the film. We bet they&#8217;re definitely in the holiday spirit now, considering they began filming in October! </p>
