Pumpkin spice lattes are starting to disappear.There is a chill in the air and Sirius radio has announced their holiday channel line up. When the pumpkin spice craze starts to fall away that means only one thing\u2026<\/p>\n

Hallmark Christmas<\/a> movies.<\/p>\n

As much as it may irritate my husband, there\u2019s nothing better than putting on some snuggly PJs, pouring a cup of cocoa and curling up on the couch to watch these films. Every year, I spend a few days at my parent’s house\u2026and for my mom and me, that means Christmas movie marathon.<\/p>\n

This year looks to be better than ever. The network is launching twenty-one new films in their \u201cCountdown to Christmas\u201d including Enchanted Christmas that premieres this Sunday.\u00a0 Here’s the write-up:<\/p>\n

Young widow, Laura Trudeau (played by Alexa PenaVega) was a remarkable dancer. Now working as a project manager in LA, she is tasked to renovate a rundown hotel lodge, in her hometown of Rosemont, Utah and have it ready by Christmas Eve. She is stunned to run into her former love and dance partner Ricardo Archuleta, (Carlos PenaVega) who she discovers is in rehearsals for The Christmas Eve shows grand finale, with his new dance partner Taylor (Chelsie Hightower, \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d).\u00a0\u00a0When Taylor has an audition abroad, Laura once again finds herself back in Ricardo\u2019s arms. Feelings are rekindled, and with both the hotel opening and the show in jeopardy, Laura has to make some difficult decisions, both personally and professionally.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you thought you recognized the main character, Laura, you probably did. It\u2019s Alexa PenaVega from the Spy Kids series of movies. Now she\u2019s all grown up and co-starring with her husband, Carlos PenaVega. They even contributed their musical talents by recording one of the songs for the movie.<\/p>\n

Is there anything they can\u2019t do?<\/p>\n

Enchanted Christmas<\/a> airs on\u00a0November 12th\u00a0on Hallmark Channel at\u00a08:00 pm\/7:00 central. Who\u2019s going to watch?<\/p>\n
