“It feels like I jumped into my television and I’m actually living in a Hallmark movie” was one phrase overheard many times over four days on the 2025 Hallmark Christmas Cruise, which marked its second year in a new annual tradition for the network. 18 of Hallmark Channel’s biggest stars joined 4,000 diehard fans for a four-day journey from Miami to Cozumel and one thing was clear: it’s all for the fans.

There’s something special about the Hallmark community, both within the talent pool and among the fans around the world. This is a group of actors who fully understand the impact they have on their followers and go above and beyond to return the appreciation right back to them. After hosting two cruises on a smaller boat last year, the network upped the ante for 2025, booking a ship with double the capacity and bringing more stars along for the biggest holiday celebration of the year.

Holiday singalongs, exclusive movie screenings, an ugly Christmas sweater contest, live game shows, a Broadway-style variety show, panels with the talent, and so much more made this the ultimate destination for Hallmark Channel’s biggest fans.

JustJared.com was along for all the fun this year, and we had an all-access pass to bring you a behind-the-scenes look into how everything came together.

This year, Hallmark’s 24/7 schedule of Christmas content began on October 17, with all-new movies premiering every weekend until the end of the year. Twenty-four of the network’s biggest stars descended on Nashville, home of the highly anticipated movie A Grand Ole Opry Christmas.

One of Hallmark Channel’s distinguishing traits is the connection it maintains with its audience.
