Another Hallmark Christmas movie has been officially announced, and this one will surely pull at your heartstrings!
The film is “The More the Merrier” starring Rachel Boston and Brendan Penny!
As part of Hallmarkâs 16th annual Countdown to Christmas, “The More the Merrier” follows Dr. Alice (Rachel Boston) and Dr. Brian (Brendan Penny) who, along with staff and visitors, are snowed in at a small rural hospital on Christmas Eve. Amid a sudden baby boom, a 14-year-old heart patient named David brings joy, connection, and surprises, highlighting the power of community and resilience.
“The More the Merrier” features special cameos from five children and teens in the Abbott HeartMates program, a community that supports those living with cardiovascular conditions. They appear in the film alongside NFL player and cardiac arrest survivor Damar Hamlin, who also serves as a HeartMates ambassador. Hamlin has previously connected with each of the HeartMates through the program and developed close personal bonds with them and their families, making their on-screen moment especially meaningful.
In addition to being in this movie, NFL player Damar Hamlin will also be seen in the football-themed Hallmark Christmas movie, “Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story.”
Since “The More the Merrier” carries a more serious and heartfelt storyline, it feels like the kind of film that would typically premiere during Miracles of Christmas on Hallmark Mystery, where the more touching and emotional movies usually air. However, with most mystery films debuting on the Hallmark Channel this year instead, I’m curious to see where this movie will end up.
According to the Abbott Heartmates article, which revealed the details of this film, Hallmarkâs âCountdown to Christmasâ movie lineup announcement is coming tomorrow – on Wednesday, September 17th! So, if that ends up being the case – stay tuned here for all of the 2025 Hallmark Christmas movie news and announcements!

Have a Merry Day!
