Hallmark is all set to add a brand new film to their list of Christmas films this year with Christmas in Toyland.
The film is directed by Bill Corcoran and written by Courtney McAllister and Kate Pragnell. It revolves around Charlie, who works at a large toy store chain planning to close all its stores and go online.
Charlie is set to go on a mission to investigate why one of the stores is succeeding when other locations are struggling, as this problem might just save hundreds of jobs and keep the magic of the toy store experience alive.
She then meets Grant, the store manager, and learns that the store is thriving due to the welcoming atmosphere created by Grant. This has made the store a popular destination for the whole community. At first, the two do not see eye to eye, but they eventually bond over a shared goal of keeping the store open.
