Hallmark Channel is rolling out all-new movies as part of their “Christmas in July” event. One new title is Campfire Christmas starring Corbin Bleu and Tori Anderson. It has a great cast, intriguing plot, and that comforting feeling that has become a Hallmark signature. Keep reading below to find out more details, including cast, plot, photos, filming location, and premiere date.
Campfire Christmas follows Peyton (Tori Anderson) whose parents decide it’s time to sell their summer camp so they can retire. But, they decide to throw one last “Christmas in July” celebration, as it was a popular tradition at the camp. Peyton’s excited to see her friends Beckett (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman), Janice (Caitlyn Stryker), Dave (Matt Hamilton) and Chris (Alec Santos). However, that also means seeing Thomas (Corbin Bleu), her former boyfriend who broke her heart when he ended their romance after high school.
Beckett’s a Broadway star, Janice and Dave are camp sweethearts, and Chris is as cool as ever. But seeing Thomas really threw Peyton for a loop. As she and her friends reconnect and reminisce while doing activities like crafts and Christmas pageant rehearsals, they all begin to take stock of their lives. This leads to them helping each other gain insight into the next steps to start their own happily ever afters. Will Peyton and Thomas get theirs too?
While Hallmark Channel has not released a trailer yet, they did recently post a behind the scenes look at filming featuring Corbin Bleu and Tori Anderson. Check it out below to see scene snippets!
