It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas—all right, no it's not, but the Hallmark Channel has announced its forthcoming lineup of holiday movies. A few Broadway favorites are set to star in the merry and bright films.
Aaron Tveit, Laura Osnes, Krystal Joy Brown, Tom McGowan and Victoria Clark will lead A Royal Holiday. While there is no word on plot yet, we're really hoping for a shot of all these talents seated on thrones.
Jeremy Jordan will star in Holly & Ivy alongside Janel Parrish and Marisol Nichols. Jordan gave a hint about his character on Twitter.
