Hallmark Channel Gears Up for Winterfest; ABC Sets Up Crossover Event for Thursday Staples
Winter sparkles on Hallmark Channel, as the network ushers in the New Year with "Winterfest," the network's highly anticipated annual programming event. "Winterfest" celebrates all we love about the snowy season and features a slate of four all-new original movies premiering every Saturday in January. The event starts with Love on the Slopes starring Katrina Bowden & Thomas Beaudoin (Saturday, January 6, 9 p.m. ET/PT), followed by Frozen in Love starring Rachel Leigh Cook & Niall Matter (Saturday, January 13, 9 p.m. ET/PT), One Winter Weekend starring Taylor Cole & Jack Turner (Saturday, January 20, 9 p.m. ET/PT) and Winter's Dream starring Dean Cain & Kristy Swanson (Saturday, January 27, 9 p.m. ET/PT).
TGIT worlds will collide later this season when Annalise Keating and Olivia Pope share the screen during How to Get Away with Murder and Scandal crossover episodes, ABC confirmed. Kerry Washington and Viola Davis posted the news early yesterday morning (see below) and it was confirmed by Shonda Rhimes and Pete Nowalk, executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder.
