Joining the unscripted fun on Monday nights this fall is Season 2 of “Finding Mr. Christmas,” the competition series to find the next Hallmark leading man, created and hosted by Jonathan Bennett. Melissa Peterman returns as lead judge.
As the holidays near, the network will debut a new baking competition series, “Baked With Love: Holiday,” hosted by Tamera Mowry-Housley. Ten pairs of bakers will face off for a prize of $50,000; judges include Anna Haugh and Vaughn Vreeland. The series is set Cotswolds, England.
“We’re in the business of joy and heart,” says David Stefanou, Hallmark’s unscripted head. “Our shows make people feel good. They offer possibility, transformation, and happiness, and that’s something people could use a little more and why they come to Hallmark.”
The Hallmark unscripted series are all focused on bringing more joy and connection to the audience, each including stories that feel like those shown in the classic Hallmark movie.
The network also just wrapped up its four-part docuseries, “Christmas at Sea,” giving audiences a peek inside the first-ever Hallmark Christmas Cruise, focusing on the experiences of fans on board.
