Hallmark Fans Countdown to Christmas Con 2025: Celebrity Line-Up Announced
As the holiday season approaches, Hallmark fans are eagerly anticipating Christmas Con, set to take place from December 12-14, 2025, in Edison, New Jersey. With seven months until Christmas, attendees are already curating their wish lists for celebrity appearances.
On May 9, 2025, event organizers revealed the first wave of stars confirmed to attend, introducing Christmas Con rookies Brendan Penny, Rachael Leigh Cook, Heather Hemmens, and Brandon Routh. Other fan favorites returning to the event include Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell, Kimberley Sustad, Will Kemp, Brennan Elliott, and Wes Brown, with additional names expected to be announced as the event date approaches.
Christmas Con, which debuted in 2019, was groundbreaking as the first celebrity autograph convention focusing exclusively on holiday movie stars. The event has since expanded significantly, selling out its initial year and doubling in size since its inception. Attendees can expect a variety of activities, including photo opportunities, celebrity panels, movie premieres, a holiday market, and a festive indoor Christmas tree lighting.
Interest in the event is high, with VIP packages already sold out and regular weekend passes nearing a 90% sellout by the announcement date. However, individual day passes remain available.
In addition to Christmas Con, the popularity of holiday movie fan conventions is rising. Hallmark launched its own version, the Hallmark Christmas Experience, in 2024, featuring nearly 40 stars over four weekends. The event is set to return to Kansas City in 2025.
The first Hallmark Christmas Cruises also took place in 2024, providing fans with unique experiences sailing alongside their favorite stars. As excitement builds for Christmas Con, fans are reminded that these festive gatherings are more than just events—they are a celebration of holiday cheer and community.
