MARIA THAYER AND VIVICA A. FOX STAR WITH
EMMY(R) WINNING ACTRESS VICKI LAWRENCE IN
"ANNIE CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN"
A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE, HOLIDAY 2011
Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas," Preeminent TV Holiday Destination
Maria Thayer ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall"), Vivica A. Fox ("Farewell Mr. Kringle,"
"Independence Day"), Sam Page ("Mad Men," "Desperate Housewives") and Ryan Bittle

2011. Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas," one of the most anticipated seasonal
events in entertainment, features more hours of holiday-themed programming than any other

In "Annie Claus is Coming to Town," Santa's daughter (Thayer) takes her first trip away
from the North Pole during the Christmas season hoping to find adventure and love in sunny
California. While Santa watches his daughter through a magic snow globe, Annie arrives in L.A.
and becomes friends with the owner of Candy Cane Inn, Lucy (Fox), and her daughter, Mia
(Nay Nay Kirby, "Dance Flick"). She also quickly lands a job at Wonderland Toys. Wonderland
Toys' owner, Ted (Page) is struggling to stay in business selling old-fashioned toys in a digital
world. Annie soon realizes that she wants Ted's business to thrive because she has feelings for
this Christmas traditionalist. Annie also knows that when she finds her true love, she and her
mate will move back to the North Pole to take over the family business. But Santa isn't the only
one watching Annie through the looking glass. So is a senior Santa Elf who himself wants to
inherit the Ho Ho Ho of Holidays, so much so that he hires a Hollywood actor to feign affection
for Annie. Although Annie temporarily falls for the imposter, she realizes there is something
about Ted that is unforgettable. Will Annie's choice make her Christmas - and everyone else's -
- merry and bright?
