Nikki DeLoach is one of Hallmark Channel‘s brightest stars, and we look forward to seeing her every year during Countdown to Christmas. This time around, she’s teaming up with Warren Christie for the wonderful Our Holiday Story, where their characters share how they met and fell in love. DeLoach has starred in plenty of romances for Hallmark, but there’s something different about this one.
“To be perfectly honest, I had called the network because for the past five years, or maybe even more, I’ve done the more dramatic movies on our Hallmark Mystery network,” she told Swooon. “There’s been a lot of crying grief movies, and they are some of my favorite movies I’ve ever made, not just on Hallmark but in my career. They’re so meaningful, and they’ve touched people when I was going through grief at the time when I did them.”
