A Royal Montana Christmas premieres October 18 on The Hallmark Channel
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Especially if you watch The Hallmark Channel.
At 8 p.m. ET Saturday, October 18, the cable network will kick off its popular Countdown to Christmas celebration with a new movie that may be of interest to many C&I readers. (And you know who you are, so don’t be coy about it.) In A Royal Montana Christmas, a holiday season romance set in the winter wonderland of Big Sky Country, a princess (Fiona Gubelmann of The Good Doctor) who’s looking to escape her burdensome royal duties finds herself falling in love with her dashing ranch guide (Warren Christie of Home Turf).
The official Hallmark synopsis: “Overwhelmed by her royal duties during the Christmas season, Princess Victoria of Zelarnia (Gubelmann) decides to take a vacation to Peaceful Pines Ranch in Montana, where she celebrated Christmas as a child with her late father. Upon arrival, she meets her dashing guide Huntley Blaylock (Christie), who presents her and the other guests at the ranch with a rustic experience that is far from the royal treatment.
“Unaware of her status as a princess, Huntley puts Victoria through the rigors of a Montana ranch experience. Victoria finds herself charmed by both Huntley and this different pace of life. As the two start to fall for each other, things get complicated when Huntley discovers Victoria is a princess. As Christmas approaches and her time at the ranch comes to an end, Victoria must decide if she should return to her royal life or stay in Montana with Huntley.”
Or maybe Huntley should follow her back to Zalarnia? Hey, just asking.
In any event, here’s the trailer for A Royal Montana Christmas (which will also be available for streaming October 19 on Hallmark+).
