The More The Merrier Premieres: Friday, 11/28, 8 pm ET/PT on Hallmark Channel as part of Merry Thanksgiving Weekend; Streams next day on Hallmark+
Stars: Rachel Boston (Adventures in Love & Birding), Brendan Penny (Chesapeake Shores)
Alice (Boston), an emergency room doctor at a small, rural hospital, always volunteers to work the Christmas Eve overnight shift and goes the extra mile to make the holiday merry and bright for patients and staff. When the hospital gets snowed in, Alice and Brian (Penny), the newly hired top-rated cardiologist, find themselves in the middle of a bona fide baby boom when three women – including the only OBGYN for miles around – go into labor on the rarest birthday of the year.
As they team up to bring these bundles of joy into the world as the night wears on, Alice, Brian and the rest of the staff also work hard to make the holiday feel festive for all the patients. Though they may have different approaches to medicine – and to life – there’s a spark between them and by the end of their shift it’s clear that this may be the Christmas Eve that changes them both forever.

What better way to start a Christmas movie than Santa hanging a Christmas wreath. Snow, wind and white-out conditions as I sat and watched this movie. Being a Southern California gal, I haven’t had to experience those conditions, other than wind. It makes me wonder how it would be to have a white Christmas one of these years. But, I love to be wrapped up with a cozy Hallmark blanket with my Hallmark popcorn tub to enjoy all these Hallmark moves.
Another Hallmark holiday movie with some of my favorite actors, like Rachel Boston and Brendan Penny. How and who pairs these actors as couples, because they are brilliant at doing that. The chemistry between Rachel and Brendan add so much to this wonderful and heartfelt Christmas movie and the title The More The Merrier fits this movie too!
I like when hospitals, doctors and nurses are featured during Christmas time. There are many folks who have to spend the holidays in a hospital, so it was really cool to see how this movie did just that to where you might find yourself dropping off a toy or two at your local hospital. Stories from divorce, adoption, love of family and God, to the birth of babies on Christmas morning. A man with a snowplow, Christmas cookies for the patients and staff, and wait, Santa in the hospital and on crutches, oh my. This is yet another wonderful Christmas movies to watch this coming Thanksgiving holiday weekend. A movie with a touching ending and I truly love when the word “THE END” is used, so classic. So gather the entire family, grab those blankets, popcorn and hot cocoa to enjoy this The More The Merrier Countdown to Christmas movie. You will not be disappointed!
