Hallmark Cafe

Director Jeff Beesley is one of our favorite Hallmark directors. On this edition of the Hallmark Cafe, we talk about his early inspiration to be a film director and how his work in Canadian television led to his teaming up with Hallmark. We explore audience favorites such as, Love Strikes Twice, A Kiss Before Christmas, Holiday Date, Made For Each Other, The Santa Summit and more. Along the way we also talk Matty Finochio, Reba and that pine tree costume in the Santa Summit. Jeff also shares much about how he gets the job done making the Hallmark movies we love.

On the menu this week we find out what the titles of both of these unique Hallmark movies mean. Tyler Hynes plays a pescatarian with a choice to make in, "Never Been Chris'd" and Hunter King finds out how many Santa suits it takes to find her soul mate in, "The Santa Summit." It's all in the cafe this week. Welcome, your table is ready!
