Country star Blake Shelton will be executive producing his second Christmas feature which will appear on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in November after he executive produced 2018's Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas.
Shelton's untitled film will feature his music and will be focused on an emotional homecoming during the holidays.
Melissa Claire Egan, Marc Blucas, and Patti Murin will be starring in Holiday for Heroes on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in November. The project centers around a solider (Blucas) and a woman (Egan) who exchange letters with each other for a year.
Hallmark also announced plans to air fan-favorite Christmas movies every Friday night throughout the year and to debut a new holiday film in July.
