‘Christmas CEO’ Hallmark Movie Premiere: Cast, Trailer, Synopsis

Hallmark Channel’s very merry holiday season continues with the newest “Countdown to Christmas” holiday premiere, “Christmas CEO.” The film, starring Marisol Nichols and Paul Greene, premieres Friday night.

The film will be a treat for Hallmark fans who are familiar with Greene, as he is a familiar face on the network. Not only has he starred as Dr. Carson Shepherd on “When Calls The Heart,” but he also held roles in “A Wish for Christmas,” “Campfire Kiss,” “My Favorite Wedding,” “Christmas in Angel falls” and “Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy” in recent years, in addition to earlier titles.

Nichols may be familiar to fans after her role in last year’s Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film “Holly & Ivy,” but this will mark her first appearance on Hallmark Channel. Another notable role is Hermione Lodge on “Riverdale.”

So what will happen in this new film? Let’s find out.

“Christmas ‘Chris’ Whitaker (Nichols) always believed she was destined to spread Christmas joy through her love of toy making. When Chris was 10 years old, instead of a lemonade stand, she sold homemade toys at her neighborhood Christmas stand, always with her best friend, Joe Sullivan (Greene),” a synopsis reads. “Chris and Joe fulfilled their dream of running a toy company together, forming CJ Toys while in college. As their company grew, Chris began to lose sight of why she loved toymaking in the first place and focused on profit margins instead of making quality toys.”

Naturally, her change in focus led to a falling out, but now, years later, Chris will be forced to reunite with Joe in order to make the deal of a lifetime—but he will have a few tricks up his sleeve to remind her about what she used to stand for before he considers going through with the venture.

“When Chris gets a once-in-a-lifetime offer to merge with a mega toy company and become its CEO, she needs her estranged, ex-business partner Joe’s signature to seal the deal,” the synopsis reads. “While Chris tries to get Joe to sign the papers, what Joe helps Chris rediscover just might change both their lives.”

“Christmas CEO” airs Friday, Nov. 26 at 6 p.m. EST on Hallmark Channel.
