Hallmark Channel is teaming up with the Grand Ole Opry to produce A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, a new holiday movie starring fan favorites Nikki DeLoach and Kristoffer Polaha, set to premiere during Hallmark’s 16th annual Countdown to Christmas event. The film, which begins production at iconic Nashville locations including the Opry House, features a storyline involving a time-traveling journey that reconnects the protagonist with her late country music icon father. Grammy-winning country star and Opry member Brad Paisley is writing and performing original music for the movie, as well as creating the official anthem for Hallmark’s 2025 Countdown to Christmas on-air campaign. This collaboration celebrates the Opry's 100th anniversary and aims to bring the rich traditions of country music and the holiday spirit to a wide audience through an emotional and heartfelt story. Hallmark will also launch an exclusive collection of Opry-branded products as part of the partnership. Paisley expressed his enthusiasm for contributing to the holiday atmosphere that Hallmark movies create, emphasizing the inspiration drawn from the Opry setting and the network's festive programming.
