Hallmark has announced the celebrity guest lineup for its next Christmas Experience in Kansas City, which launches the day after Thanksgiving.
Last year, 80,000 Hallmark fans attended the inaugural event at Crown Center Square.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Central on June 17 at ExperienceHallmarkChristmas.com, Hallmark announced Tuesday. The event will take place on weekends from Nov. 28 through Dec. 21.
Hallmark’s creative team designed an “immersive experience” for fans last year, with a Christmas market set up around the Mayor’s Christmas tree, skating on the Crown Center Ice Terrace, workshops with Hallmark artists, nightly tree lighting shows, live music, shopping from local vendors, food and themed drinks.
When the inaugural event was announced, Hallmark executive Lindsey Roy told The Star that “we often hear from our fans that they wish they could step into the world of our movies and get a peek behind the curtain of card making and more.
“This event brings all things Hallmark to life in an immersive way we haven’t done before, and what better place to host than our hometown.”
Nearly 40 Hallmark movie actors also came to Kansas City to share behind-the-scenes stories and take pictures with fans at ticketed events. Hallmark movie fans came to town from across the country.
During one weekend, Hallmark hosted a red carpet premiere for “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” which became one of the Hallmark Channel’s most-watched movies of the year.
The stars of that movie, Tyler Hynes and Hunter King, will return. Hynes, who grew quite a large fan base in Kansas City during the filming of the movie here, will be here two weekends.
