Hallmark Channel’s Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, starring Lacey Chabert, premieres Nov. 28. A pop-up with ornaments, cards and movie merch opens at Disney Springs on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
Hallmark Christmas movies already feel a little like a theme park. Now one is actually set in one.
Hallmark is opening a holiday pop-up shop at Disney Springs on Wednesday, Oct. 7. It’s tied to Hallmark Channel’s first movie made with Walt Disney World: Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True.
When does Holiday Ever After premiere on Hallmark Channel?
Saturday, Nov. 28, 2026, at 8 p.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Central on Hallmark Channel, per Hallmark. It streams the next day on Hallmark+.
It’s part of Hallmark’s 17th annual Countdown to Christmas.
Who is in Hallmark’s Disney World Christmas movie?
Lacey Chabert stars as Lindsey, and Travis Van Winkle plays Philip, per Fantasy Land News.
The supporting cast is a fun one for Disney fans:
Richard Kind, the voice of Bing Bong in Inside Out
Christy Carlson Romano, the voice of Kim Possible
Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns and Asher Alexander
Patrick Renna, Ham from The Sandlot, in a cameo
Chabert has made more than 30 Hallmark movies.
What is Holiday Ever After about?
A Christmas trip that goes sideways, in the most Hallmark way possible.
Lindsey takes her family to Disney World for Christmas and finds out the room next door belongs to Philip, the guy from her disastrous first date, per Fantasy Land News. He’s there with his family too.
Then she makes a wish at Cinderella Fountain. You can probably guess the rest.
The movie was filmed at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs.
What’s in the Hallmark pop-up shop at Disney Springs?
Things from the movie, plus classic Hallmark Christmas stuff, per Hallmark:
Products inspired by and featured in the film
Keepsake Ornaments
Hallmark greeting cards
Disney-inspired gifts
“The pop-up extends that experience beyond the screen,” said Stacey Howe, Hallmark’s senior vice president of brand licensing.
Disney Springs vice president Debbie Hart said the shop “offers guests a new way to celebrate the season.”
Where is the Hallmark pop-up at Disney Springs?
In the Town Center area, in the former Francesca’s storefront near Frontera Cocina.
Disney Springs doesn’t require a park ticket, and parking in its garages is free. Hallmark hasn’t announced when the pop-up closes, but it’s a holiday shop, so plan on it sticking around through the season.
Can you buy the Holiday Ever After collection outside Disney World?
Yes. The collection has more than 42 items, including Loungefly and Vera Bradley pieces, and it’s rolling out on Hallmark.com, at Disney Parks, at select Hallmark Gold Crown stores, and at select Kohl’s and Walmart locations.
What else is new at Disney Springs?
A couple of other shops are on the way.
Kawaii Slime Company is coming to Disney Springs, per WDWMagic and MickeyBlog. No opening date yet.
RSVLTS, the fandom shirt company, is holding its first-ever Disney Springs pop-up on Oct. 17 and 18 at the Marketplace Co-Op, per Laughing Place. A Figment sweater with 1980s EPCOT Center vibes is one of the items expected.
Between the Hallmark shop, the slime store and the Christmas decorations coming in November, Disney Springs is about to get very festive. Bring a bag for ornaments.
