BURBANK, CA - December 22, 2025 - Holland Roden (Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, Teen Wolf) and Niall Matter (We Met in December, This Time Each Year) are acquaintances in the Gilded Age who become more than that in the present-day in a brand-new holiday love story set at Biltmore Estate, that will premiere in 2026 during Hallmark Channel's 17th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event.

Dustin Rikert (Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, The Christmas Quest) will direct from a script by Marcy Holland (A Biltmore Christmas, The Christmas Quest).

"When A Biltmore Christmas premiered it immediately became a fan favorite and an instant classic," began Michelle Vicary, Head of Programming, Hallmark Media. "Marcy Holland, who wrote the original movie, has created another captivating romance set in this unique and special place. We can't wait for viewers to travel back to Biltmore and fall for this new love story as much as they did the first one."

The beauty and history of Biltmore House was showcased in the original movie with the story taking place in locations including the Conservatory, Winter Garden, Tapestry Gallery, Banquet Hall, Billiard Room and the Library, which was the home of the hourglass responsible for the characters' time-traveling adventures. These will also be featured in the new installment as well as new rooms and locations such as the Rooftop, Pergola, Swimming Pool, Bowling Alley, Breakfast Room, Oak Sitting Room, Main Kitchen, Music Room and Mrs. Vanderbilt's Bedroom, allowing the viewer to further explore the house . Additionally, filming will take place in other locations on Biltmore Estate including The Inn on Biltmore Estate, Antler Hill Village and Biltmore Winery. During filming at these locations, the set will be closed to the public.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

As Biltmore House opens for the first time on Christmas Eve 1895, 13-year-old Elizabeth and her family are holiday guests. When she notices Michael, a fellow teen caught trespassing by the staff, Elizabeth comes to his rescue by claiming to know him, much to his relief. The two share an instant connection and set out to explore Biltmore but Michael inexplicably vanishes. Twenty years later, Elizabeth is spending Christmas at Biltmore and this time is accompanied by James, a suitor her Aunt Maysilee, is keen for her to wed. When a stranger asks Elizabeth to dance at the Christmas gala she's shocked to discover it's Michael. Thrilled to reunite with her friend, she throws herself into his arms. But the world around her changes in an instant when Elizabeth is transported into the modern world with Michael, a tourist from the present day who had traveled to the past 20 years prior with the help of a magical hourglass in Biltmore's library. Now, Elizabeth and Michael must find a way to send her back to her time, while not arousing the suspicion of Michael's mother and sister during their family vacation. As Elizabeth experiences life and Christmas in the 21st century, she and Michael become close. When the time comes for her to return to 1915, Elizabeth must decide whether she'll resume the life that's been chosen for her or if her heart will lead her down a new path in the present.

The movie is from Hallmark Media. David O'Donnell serves as executive producer. Dustin Rikert directs from a script by Marcy Holland.
