00:00Sarah Drew.
00:02Les Brown.
00:04Taylor Cole.
00:05Can I give you a hug?
00:06Tyler Hines.
00:08Nikki DeLoach.
00:10Jonathan Bennett.
00:11Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:15Yes, Mr. Bennett, let's go.
00:19It's cool that so many people share this love of Hallmark that we do.
00:23Hallmark is hope.
00:26It brings people together.
00:28I love you guys.
00:29Oh, my God.
00:30I couldn't stop crying.
00:31It's just pure joy.
00:33I think it's really important that we make sure that we're really thinking about what the future looks like.
00:37I have a surprise.
00:38It will just be amazing.
00:40Best vacation ever.
00:42The second we get on that ship, it's going to be magical.
00:45Welcome to the Hallmark Christmas Cruise.
00:48Dude, I messed it up.
00:59Look at it.
01:00It's beautiful.
01:01Wow.
01:02Let's go Hallmark.
01:03Who's here for the Hallmark Christmas Cruise?
01:04Look at it.
01:05It's beautiful.
01:06Wow.
01:07Let's go Hallmark.
01:08Look at it.
01:09Look at it.
01:10It's beautiful.
01:11It's beautiful.
01:12Wow.
01:13Let's go Hallmark.
01:14Let's go Hallmark.
01:15But Al's already been approached that she was so stunningly beautiful that she should be a Hallmark star.
01:24That's my job.
01:25I was waiting for that compliment.
01:26I'm Carrie Vermeer, the matriarch of this family, and this is my daughter Paige and my daughter-in-law Al, who's married to my son Kyle.
01:33And don't mix them up because we look like mother-daughter.
01:37Emery, it looks amazing.
01:39That is true.
01:40Wow.
01:41Okay, Auntie Paige, she's ready to do this.
01:42Okay.
01:43So I'll give you the frosting from here on.
01:44Okay.
01:45We came to Austin from California about four years ago.
01:50Kyle and Al were living in Manhattan, and they had their first daughter and quickly learned that it takes a village with a baby.
01:58What are we watching today?
01:59An unexpected Christmas.
02:00I have an amazing relationship with my daughter Paige, and my daughter-in-law Al, who's really just my daughter at this point.
02:06We're really close and do a lot of things together.
02:10Can I just say, I'm so excited to go on this cruise with you.
02:15I'll cry.
02:17Cheers.
02:18Cheers.
02:19We're so excited.
02:20We love you.
02:21I grew up in a really broken family, and I was an only child, which was isolating.
02:26And I remember starting to watch Hallmark movies in junior high.
02:30What I love about Hallmark is it's just cozy and encompasses everyone and everything, which makes the Hallmark community so special.
02:39Also, thank you for having the house so beautifully done.
02:41Beautiful.
02:42It looks amazing.
02:43Seriously.
02:44This is some of your best work.
02:45And then when I met the Vermeer family, they obviously loved Hallmark too, and it was just kind of a really cute marrying of, like, both of the things that we both loved.
02:52What's new this year?
02:53Did you add anything?
02:54That's...
02:55Christmas tree row.
02:56Okay.
02:57I added some new trees.
02:58My mom has spent her whole life doing things for other people.
03:01She's always been the driver of this family.
03:04Literally.
03:05The driver.
03:06Oh, okay.
03:07Nice joke.
03:09Thanks, you guys.
03:10And did you finish packing?
03:11I'm bringing a lot.
03:12I know I have to.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Yeah.
03:15Oh, my God.
03:16Hi.
03:17Hi.
03:18So look at the bow.
03:19They did such a good job.
03:20Oh, my God.
03:21I want this in the back of my hair.
03:23Ready?
03:24Yeah.
03:25Okay.
03:26Oh, picture or foot video?
03:27Oh, it's a fit.
03:28Do you want a video?
03:29No, it's a picture.
03:30It's good.
03:31Yeah, it's a picture.
03:32Okay.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Okay.
03:35Oh, picture or foot video?
03:36Oh, it's a fit.
03:37Do you want a video?
03:38No, picture.
03:39It's good.
03:40Yeah, it's a picture.
03:41Okay.
03:42Okay.
03:43You guys, look at the Hallmark pillows.
03:46Look how cute.
03:47I know.
03:48This is really cute.
03:52Oh, man.
03:55It's going to be tight quarters.
03:57I probably should sleep up there.
03:59No, I will sleep there.
04:00You girls, because that way if I snore.
04:01Here.
04:02We asked for time together.
04:04This is going to be really intimate.
04:05We are getting some time together.
04:06I'm feeling a little claustrophobic.
04:08My decorating suitcase is right here.
04:11We get to decorate our cabin doors.
04:14Here we go, guys.
04:15Okay.
04:16I got it.
04:17Okay.
04:18Which was music to my ears.
04:19Look at that, you guys.
04:20Done.
04:21You realize you have to be a little crazy to be on this cruise?
04:24Look at that tree.
04:25Oh, wow.
04:26We've got to get that on our lawn for sure.
04:27Oh, wow.
04:28Wow.
04:29How does it not flow down?
04:30That's amazing.
04:31My name is Donna.
04:32And I am Rob.
04:33We have been together for nine years.
04:35We met at the gym.
04:37Out of all the Hallmark stars, the hoodie looks forward to me.
04:39I actually like Paul.
04:40I can't wait to meet Nikki.
04:41Nikki's one of our favorites.
04:42She does a lot with Paul all the time.
04:43When we first met, we had both gone through a divorce.
04:46So we talked as we walked on the treadmill and that's how it all started.
04:48Well, first you broke my ribs.
04:50And I actually broke two of her ribs adjusting her back on a bench and popped it, so I thought
05:15I would never see her again, much less at the gym.
05:17No, and we're still together nine years later.
05:19Not one kid has missed Christmas Eve ever, and we're going to make sure that always happens.
05:23Between the two of us, we have seven kids.
05:25Rob has two, and I have five.
05:27It's the best blended family there is.
05:29Wow, that looks amazing.
05:30All these magnets are the ones that I made that we're going to put on the door.
05:33I can't believe you made one of every Hallmark star.
05:37I think we might be a little Christmas crazy.
05:39Never.
05:39But there's nothing wrong with that.
05:40Never, never too much Christmas, ever.
05:43My mother was always into Christmas growing up and Hallmark.
05:46It brings my mother and I together.
05:47They got me into it, you know.
05:49They were watching it when I met them, and I just got sucked in, and I loved it,
05:54because it takes you to a happy place.
05:56It takes you out of the reality of life, which is sometimes hard.
06:01What are you going to watch when it's Christmas and you're in this house?
06:03You can't watch something with sad and something uplifting.
06:06Sometimes I actually cry.
06:08He does cry.
06:09I can't believe he's a men in it, but he does.
06:11He does a little...
06:13He does.
06:16Oh, Jonathan's right there.
06:18He's eating everyone.
06:18Look at that.
06:19I am a gay man over 40.
06:22I'm going to put the thing on an arm up in the sky so we have a good chin.
06:28There, boom.
06:30Ready?
06:30One, two, three.
06:31Oh, we did it.
06:33We're going to have so much time.
06:34We can't wait.
06:35Welcome aboard.
06:36Welcome aboard.
06:37Welcome aboard.
06:38Welcome aboard.
06:38We thought maybe we'd maybe get one selfie, if we were lucky, and we got one within five
06:43minutes of being on a ship.
06:44Look at that.
06:46He's just amazing.
06:48Oh, such a great smile and energy.
06:50Merry Cruisemas!
06:51Merry Cruisemas!
06:53Merry Cruisemas!
06:54Well, we got two more, too.
07:01Two more groups till we board.
07:02It's going to be the best vacation of the whole entire world.
07:05I know.
07:05I know.
07:06And everyone's been coming up saying, you know, happy birthday, merry Christmas.
07:10They've seen us on the ship.
07:11We have a Cruise Facebook page.
07:12I put, I'm going with my two grandmas.
07:14They're my best friends.
07:15They're best friends with each other.
07:17This is my birthday present.
07:18Excuse me.
07:19Would you mind taking our picture?
07:21Me and my grandma?
07:21Thank you so much.
07:22So I put that on Facebook the other night, and it got 115 comments.
07:28Merry Christmas!
07:29Oh, happy birthday!
07:30Happy birthday!
07:31Happy birthday!
07:32Thank you, guys.
07:33Thank you so much.
07:34Everyone's been coming up saying, happy birthday, Nathan.
07:37It's been the craziest thing.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Yeah.
07:45My wife's two favorite things in the world, cruising and Christmas movies from Hallmark.
07:51There is no way that we were not going to be here.
07:58Oh, my God!
07:58Look at this!
08:01Oh, my God!
08:02Look at this cruise everywhere!
08:03Look at everything!
08:04Look at that ball!
08:05My name is Laura Duncombe.
08:06I'm going on this cruise with my very best friend in the whole world, my little sister,
08:10Victoria.
08:12Happy Christmas!
08:13When I was a kid, all that I wanted for Christmas was a baby sister, and once she was born, my
08:21life was never the same.
08:22I just want to tell everyone, Merry Christmas.
08:23I know!
08:24I'm going to start decorating, like, right away.
08:25Oh, my gosh.
08:26You're so right.
08:27Let's go decorate the door.
08:28Is this it?
08:28Here we are!
08:29Hong sweet home!
08:31I can't remember the last time just the two of us went anywhere.
08:35I don't think, like, ever.
08:36Yeah.
08:37I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and my sister and best friend lives in New York, which is very
08:44far away.
08:45I just want to, like, stay in our room and just hug, like, for just, like, six to ten hours.
08:51Yeah, I mean, I think that's what we should do right after me.
08:53Super.
08:56I have 61 boxes of Christmas decorations.
09:00My sister's like, that's kind of like, you could probably pack my entire house in 61 boxes,
09:04so it's a lot.
09:06I may or may not have stood in my driveway this weekend like an evil genius and going,
09:10Christmas!
09:12Because it was, it's everywhere, and it feels so good.
09:16I don't know.
09:16There's no TV.
09:17We get to watch Hallmark Channel.
09:18Hallmark all the time.
09:20All day.
09:20I should probably be next to the blow dryer.
09:22That's all right.
09:23Okay.
09:23That could be your, this will be mine.
09:26Good evening, Hallmark cruisers.
09:28Please join us on the Lido deck for the celebration to see all your favorite Hallmark stars.
09:35We're about to set sail on a Christmas voyage to the Bahamas.
09:39Okay, how fun was it decorating our cabin door?
09:42Your garland looks amazing.
09:44I wasn't, I wasn't fishing for that, but, like, he was fishing.
09:46And, again, it's not a competition, obviously.
09:49But it was the best one I've seen so far.
09:51So far.
09:51I don't think anyone's.
09:52But, like, all I've been talking about for three, well, not three months, like, 12 months
09:57is meeting Wes Brown and you meeting Tyler.
10:00I'm a huge Tyler Hines fan, and I have a bracelet ready to give to him.
10:05I want to know what you think you're going to say when you meet him.
10:08What do you think you and Wes Brown are going to talk about?
10:09I'm going to give him a great big bear hug.
10:11That's it.
10:11Wes, this is an invitation to you.
10:14I know you're happily married with beautiful children, as am I.
10:18They're right here.
10:19But we've all heard the famous term, hall pass.
10:22I have been given a Hallmark pass for Wes Brown.
10:25Hallmark pass!
10:27Well, let's go find him.
10:29All right.
10:31This is us.
10:32Here we are.
10:33Let's see it.
10:35Yay!
10:38Wow.
10:38Not bad.
10:39Not bad.
10:40Not bad at all.
10:41I love it.
10:42I'm going to start laying out everything I want to do on the door.
10:44Well, everybody calls me Mrs. Christmas because of the house.
10:48Yeah, I ooze Christmas.
10:49Maybe that's why they call me it.
10:51Now ready.
10:52Let's see what I can do outside.
10:56You can close it.
11:01Where did I put the rings?
11:06Where?
11:08Uh-oh.
11:14The one place I knew she wouldn't look in my shoes.
11:17Donna's this person that always amazes me.
11:19She's been through a lot.
11:20That's why I'm going to propose to her.
11:23And then I want to get married on the cruise ship.
11:25I don't want to wait.
11:26I know she's going to be shocked.
11:29It's going to be a surprise to Donna.
11:31She has no idea.
11:32This is the veil.
11:33I don't know when I'm going to get down on one knee.
11:36I just know I want the moment to be perfect.
11:38And I hope it goes over well.
11:43Welcome aboard!
11:44We have ten of the biggest Hallmark Channel stars.
11:50And four.
11:52Oh my God, look at those.
11:54Wes Brown is walking toward me.
11:57It's my Hallmark Pass.
12:10Here we are.
12:12All dressed.
12:13And ready to go.
12:14See the Christmas tree lighting on the Hallmark Christmas tree.
12:19I feel very happy for Rob.
12:21He always talks about wanting to see a tree lighting.
12:24And I know it's something he's going to remember for the rest of his life.
12:27The celebration party is just so exciting to us.
12:34It's like 3,000 souls just united in this common sense of wonder.
12:38And it's just spectacular.
12:39And it's just spectacular.
12:40It's so magical.
12:42This is so cool.
12:44Oh my gosh.
12:45Oh my gosh.
12:45Oh my gosh.
12:45Look, look.
12:46All my Christmas tree.
12:47No, could not imagine.
12:48Look at that.
12:49This is so crazy.
12:50Wow, this is crazy.
12:51Gail is my very, very, very, very dear friend.
12:55We met in the 10th grade and we hit it off immediately.
12:59Joking around on the track team, supposed to be practicing.
13:01You really ran.
13:03And I just was on the track team because of the uniforms.
13:05Actually, she got kicked off the track team.
13:08You think the kids are going to be super hungry?
13:11Because I made a lot of waffles.
13:13Looking great.
13:14Ladies, y'all doing an awesome job there.
13:16Why, thank you so much.
13:18You know we don't mind treating the sand sales.
13:21Yeah, these are my buddies.
13:23Family is extremely important.
13:25Gail's husband and my husband are friends.
13:27And so that made our relationship even greater.
13:31Our families are now connected.
13:37Our grandchildren are now connected.
13:40We are definitely more than just friends.
13:43In fact, sometimes we refer to each other as cis.
13:45And what do you guys have planned?
13:47All me and Gail heard was Hallmark.
13:49That's all we heard and saw.
13:50Oh, because you guys are like super fans.
13:52Yeah, and so we didn't care what they were doing.
13:54When I get out of church on Sunday, everyone knows not to bother me.
13:59And I'm watching Hallmark.
14:00Celebrities are going to be on there.
14:02Some of the actors from the actual movies are going to be on there.
14:04Like Tyler Hines will be there.
14:08You know, that hair is like the bomb.
14:09His hair is always so perfect.
14:12I like love.
14:13And I like togetherness.
14:15And just the simple things in life.
14:17I think that's what really attracted me to Hallmark when I started watching it years ago.
14:21It was like no matter how you were feeling, you could turn on Hallmark.
14:25And you could always leave feeling like there's hope.
14:28Who's ready?
14:30Who's ready?
14:31Who's ready?
14:32Who's ready?
14:33Who's ready for the day?
14:35We are ecstatic about this cruise.
14:37I'm busting at the seams.
14:39Y'all parasailing?
14:40We're not doing that.
14:42Anything like that, right?
14:44Alicia was always what I was not.
14:46The daredevil.
14:48The take risk.
14:49Where I was the rule follower.
14:51Don't push the line.
14:52Take that leap of faith.
14:54I don't know about faith.
14:55Okay, just take the leap.
14:58I'm just kind of a little anxious because I know Alicia.
15:00She is the adventurous one.
15:0246 years later, here we are.
15:04Her still the risk taker.
15:06Me still the, I want to color inside the lines.
15:09Aww.
15:10Many of the cruises that we've been on, I've never seen the sell-off party with this many people.
15:15Never.
15:16It is beyond the perfect kickoff for the Hallmark crew.
15:21Yes.
15:21So many people.
15:23I know that bothers you because you like to slide and dance and dance.
15:27You could only shimmy.
15:28You couldn't shimmy, shimmy.
15:30All right.
15:32Oh, here we go.
15:33Here we go.
15:34Give it up for our host of the Hallmark Channel Christmas Crew, Jonathan Sanders.
15:49Welcome aboard the Hallmark Channel Christmas Crew.
15:53We are so excited to spend this incredibly special moment with all of you.
16:03We have 10 of the biggest Hallmark Channel stars playing board for your pleasure.
16:10Oh, I'm so excited.
16:13Woo, sexy.
16:16Make some noise if you're part of Hallmark Channel.
16:18That's you.
16:19Yeah.
16:20We are going to sing.
16:21We are going to dance.
16:23But most of all, we are going to celebrate Christmas like no one else does in the world.
16:28Can I get a ho, ho, ho?
16:29Ho, ho, ho.
16:30Ba, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
16:33Ba, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
16:35Coming up first on the stage, it's actually Andrew Walker.
16:44Let's hear it for Benjamin Ayers.
16:47Aaron Hayham
16:55Kimberly Gunstown
16:58Nikki Zalove
17:00and Sarah Gerwald
17:04Taylor Cole
17:07All the Hallmark actors are close to us.
17:12Within ten minutes of this, I'm like, this is going to be an amazing cruise.
17:16Here comes, here comes the last.
17:17We have people like the one and only Hallmark actor that's taller than me.
17:22Please give it up for Paul Campbell.
17:28We need some hotties up here.
17:31Let's bring out the one and only Wes Brown.
17:35That's your stepdaddy, yeah.
17:49There we go. That's how you want to see.
17:54Seeing Wes Brown is amazing.
17:56I heard he's called Hot Brown.
17:58Hot Brown.
17:59Gonna get a ho, ho, ho!
18:03The next person coming up to the stage needs a huge introduction
18:08because no one is a fan of him.
18:09And no one loves his beautiful, sexy, spiky hair.
18:13Please welcome the stage.
18:18The one and only...
18:19Say it with me...
18:23Tyler Hines!
18:25Tyler Hines!
18:30That's our favorite!
18:35I think that I have a chance with Tyler Hines.
18:37Take it off!
18:38Take it off!
18:40I sense that we have similar energies.
18:43I'm a very confident person, so I'm just hoping that he likes my vibe if I get a chance to meet him.
18:49I'm not blushing you, Mark.
18:51I don't think it's crazy at all.
18:52I think it's time to light the Christmas tree. What do you think?
18:57From the second we walked on the ship, the Christmas spirit has been palpable, right?
19:02It's all around you.
19:03I saw a study, actually, that people who have all their decorations up by November 1st are actually happier.
19:08Are you ready to light the trees? Say yes!
19:12Yes!
19:12From 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
19:32This is the first time we're watching a Christmas tree light together with the countdown, and we've been together nine years.
19:38It takes my breath away.
19:41All done, huh?
19:42That was insane. I don't even know.
20:01I can't believe that we're here, like, together.
20:04You're healthy, right?
20:06I mean, like...
20:07I'm healthy.
20:07It's been a long year for you.
20:10I've had two major surgeries.
20:12So now I am cancer-free.
20:16Reconstruction later.
20:17I have two half-sisters.
20:18They both tested positive for a gene called the ATM gene mutation, and they both battled cancer and have both since passed away from cancer.
20:28I immediately went and got tested, and it turns out I also had the gene, and probably the best thing for me to do would be to do this preventative double mastectomy.
20:37And I'm back, and I'm ready to have fun.
20:41I'm just so excited to spend the next couple days with you guys.
20:44You don't get to do this a lot in life, and I'm so grateful.
20:49Like, seriously, thank you to you for making it happen.
20:51Thank you for you carving out the time to actually get here and be totally present.
20:57I know that my mom values the family being in Texas, but on this cruise, I need to build up the courage to deliver some news to her that might be a little upsetting.
21:06And so I'm just nervous to cause any ripples or waves, especially when we're having this wonderful time together.
21:12It means so much.
21:13You just get to enjoy it.
21:15Vermeer Girls take on Hallmark Christmas.
21:26Two champagne sleeves?
21:27Yeah, sure.
21:28Two champagne.
21:29Yeah.
21:30I think it'd be difficult to overstate how excited we are for this trip.
21:35I mean, I am a stay-at-home mom of three incredible children, but I'm also a writer.
21:44And Victoria is a theatrical director and mother to my beautiful nephew, Robin.
21:50So I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for us to get uninterrupted sister time,
21:56and to put ourselves first for a little while, and, you know, to get to sleep.
22:02Just sleep, really.
22:04So before we get too much more into this, I have a little special present for you.
22:09Okay.
22:09You're going to open it now, but you can't use it until next present.
22:14Okay.
22:15Okay.
22:17This is such a cute little box.
22:18I love it.
22:19It was in a Hallmark movie, so I had to get it.
22:20Okay.
22:21What is it?
22:21Okay.
22:25I signed myself for a karaoke.
22:27No.
22:28Gail needs to come out of her comfort zone.
22:30Come on!
22:30I'll hear from here!
22:36Oh, no!
22:39Victoria!
22:40Are you pregnant?
22:42Oh, my God!
22:44You've been faking me out!
22:46I've been faking you out of the same situation.
22:47You've been faking me out all day!
22:49You didn't do it!
22:50Oh, congratulations!
22:52I'm so happy for you!
22:54Brother's going to have a brother or sister!
22:57Brother or sister!
22:58I don't know, but with the amount of morning sickness I've had, I am sure it's got to be a girl!
23:03I'm so relieved that she finally knows it's been so hard to keep this secret from Laura.
23:10It's going to be so good!
23:11This is the best prison ever!
23:12Oh, yay!
23:14Okay, but wait, I have to show you this photo I took.
23:17Peenies!
23:17Peenies!
23:18Oh!
23:19Follow me!
23:21Being an auntie to Victoria's little fella is one of my favorite things in the whole world.
23:27And so to know that I will have double the auntie joy, double the kids to shop for for Christmas,
23:34like, I am just over the moon about it.
23:41Oh, thank you!
23:42That's amazing!
23:43You're the best ever!
23:45Thank you!
23:45I'm so happy to meet you both!
23:47Can we get one question?
23:48Are you okay?
23:49Is that high enough?
23:50Wait, actually?
23:52No.
23:53Hold on.
23:53Okay, wait.
23:55Yes!
23:55Right there?
23:56Yeah!
23:56Thank you very much.
23:58Thank you so much.
24:00We'll see you.
24:00Tell me your name.
24:02Rob and Donna.
24:03Rob and Donna.
24:03And Donna.
24:04She looks like a princess.
24:06Thank you!
24:06I was trying to go for a Christmas tree look.
24:08Nailed it!
24:09But you just need a store.
24:12What are you guys doing if you're all alone?
24:14Well, we were in my...
24:15This is our first Christmas tree lighting ever.
24:16Yes.
24:17So we were just talking about how great and how wonderful everybody was.
24:20And how you guys are like...
24:21Yes.
24:22You're just so welcoming to everybody.
24:24It's amazing.
24:25It just shows how great you all are.
24:27You're really good.
24:27Thank you for saying that.
24:28Well, we couldn't be here without each one of you.
24:30So thank you.
24:31Oh, thank you.
24:32Can't believe I'm talking to Erin Cahill.
24:35I'm here with a star that I love.
24:38That I watch in all these movies.
24:40And she's talking to me like she knows me for years.
24:43Asking about us.
24:44All right, thank you.
24:45Thank you very much.
24:46I'm just so excited to finally be here.
24:49We've been through so much.
24:50And it's been a long road for me and Rob.
24:54Wow.
24:54And there's Mrs. Christmas.
24:56You look amazing.
24:57So do you.
24:58Are you ready for this?
24:59I'm ready.
24:59Let's get the party started.
25:01So Donna got diagnosed with Chiari malformation.
25:03It's a condition where part of the brain that controls your balance extends into your spinal
25:07canal.
25:08She had to go through brain surgery.
25:10It's not a cure.
25:11It's not a cure, but it helped me.
25:13And it was leaning on my brain stem.
25:16And it could have been bad.
25:17It did.
25:18Mrs. Christmas!
25:19Mwah!
25:20The surgeon had a spot in October.
25:23She said, nope, not until after my Christmas party.
25:25So she suffered with severe headaches for another two months.
25:28New Christmas season.
25:29Let's do it.
25:30Just so she could have her Christmas party.
25:32Oh, because of the season.
25:33She believed her Christmas party is her.
25:35I wanted to go out in bed.
25:36You got to have pretzels at every party.
25:39It was a wonderful thing to do.
25:40I got to be with all my friends and my family two days before my surgery.
25:43It was the best decision I made, I think.
25:45It was really good.
25:46Have you ever had more headaches?
25:49I've had headaches, but I mean, I'm feeling a lot better.
25:53I feel good.
25:54You're all here.
25:55So positive about everything.
25:56You have to be.
25:57You have to be.
25:58Something like this really makes you realize that all that stuff that we get upset about,
26:03we shouldn't.
26:04You got to enjoy the happy moments.
26:05You got to enjoy your children, your family, your friends, your pets.
26:09You just don't know what tomorrow brings, and I'm going to enjoy this cruise.
26:13It's a wish come true.
26:15I like that tree in our front yard.
26:17That's a little, that's associated a little.
26:19We have a lot of trees, but nothing like that.
26:23So the house care Donna went through.
26:25It made me more committed than knowing I want to be with her and spend the rest of my life with her.
26:30That's why I'm going to propose to her, and hopefully we will get married on the last day of the cruise.
26:35I just need to find the right moment.
26:36I feel like Mr. Mrs. Christmas.
26:41I love it.
26:43Oh, it's the Merry Exchange, and it is a lovely time to share Christmas spirit.
26:54We all brought little things that we wanted to share with other people.
26:57We brought candy cane glow sticks and koozies.
27:03We brought tons of goodies.
27:04There were lots of fun straws that were hit.
27:06Some Jingle Bell bracelets, necklaces, and a bunch of Hallmark stickers.
27:11This is the coolest thing we got.
27:14It's a snow globe.
27:15Homemade snow globe.
27:18Merry Christmas!
27:19The night is still young, Hallmark Cruiser, so please join us for Carol Oki in the Atrium, Trivia in the Spinnaker Lounge, and Boot Shop with Tyler Hines in the Great Outdoors Bar.
27:39Is that a blue shot right there?
27:41Oh, they said you could have a big team.
27:44A big team.
27:44We need a team.
27:48We just love each other.
27:59We love being here, and it's a great time.
28:01And holding them close, singing our favorite Christmas songs like Last Christmas and rocking around the Christmas tree.
28:05It's amazing.
28:07This is karaoke over here.
28:09Yes, there's a DJ booth right there.
28:11Oh, oh.
28:11Just so you know, I signed this up for karaoke.
28:16No, really?
28:19This togetherness that we have, are you going to let me go by myself?
28:22No, I'm not going to let you go.
28:23I'm going to get as close to the stage as I can.
28:25I signed up at Carol Oki because Gail needs to come out of her comfort zone.
28:32She's a little more reserved and cautious.
28:34And I said, girl, come on.
28:35Let's enjoy life.
28:36All right, come on.
28:37Next is 45.9 from Long Beach, fellow community.
28:49I'll cheer from here.
28:51I'll cheer from here.
28:53No way.
28:54Am I singing?
28:55You are crazy.
28:57Absolutely crazy.
28:59I'm going to try to get married here.
29:05Made on the ship?
29:06That's a surprise.
29:07If you're looking for somebody to marry you, she would die.
29:09You got to get a yes now.
29:15Hallmark Christmas Cruise.
29:16Yeah.
29:17This is my girlfriend of 45 years.
29:22And can you believe she's not coming up here to sing with me?
29:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:28You know what?
29:30You know what?
29:31I'm going to get you out of your comfort zone before the cruise is over.
29:34Let's put my ladies up.
29:35Come on, ladies.
29:36Yeah.
29:36Come on.
29:37Come on.
29:37Come on.
29:37Come on.
29:37Come on.
29:38Come on up, ladies.
29:39Let's go.
29:40You got me?
29:41They're going.
29:42They're going.
29:43You got me?
29:44Come on, ladies.
29:45Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells.
29:48It's Christmas.
29:49It is difficult for me to move out of my comfort zone.
29:57I don't know if I can pinpoint exactly where it came from, but it is definitely something
30:03that I have noticed throughout my life, maybe not wanting to make mistakes, where it's
30:10like, I don't want to let people down.
30:11I don't want to let myself down.
30:13I'm not sure exactly where it comes from.
30:15Next time, before we get off the ship.
30:18Okay.
30:19I'll think about it.
30:24I'll think about it.
30:25I'm not sure.
30:26So one of the things we talked about, being free is this long.
30:30Right, right.
30:31Is that we're going to kind of step out because we know we've been kind of reserved.
30:34Right.
30:35So I think it's like a perfect opportunity.
30:37It's just you and I.
30:37Nobody else is here.
30:38I know all these people are here, but I mean, it's just you and I.
30:41Me.
30:43Okay.
30:43Are you ready for Christmas?
30:47Are you down in your head?
30:50Are you ready for Christmas?
30:53We'll be having a fun.
30:55All right.
30:55It's trivia time.
30:57Yeah.
30:58Yes.
31:00Hi.
31:02Here, he's got room.
31:03Okay.
31:03I'm coming.
31:04Hey, come on in.
31:06Okay, I'm ready.
31:07Okay.
31:07I'm Laura.
31:08I'm Jessica.
31:09Hey, Jessica.
31:09Nice to meet you.
31:10Hi.
31:11Hi.
31:11Vicky.
31:12Victoria.
31:13Hi.
31:13We have seen probably over 200 Hallmark Christmas movies.
31:26Oh, I would say more.
31:28Are you guys big Hallmark fans?
31:30Uh, yes.
31:31It sounds like a problem, but if you spread it out over like 12 years, it's probably still
31:36too many.
31:36You guys, welcome to the stage, Nikki, the Lord.
31:46Hi, Nikki.
31:48Hi, Nikki.
31:50You know I've got to bring out the one and only, the best work husband in all of the land.
31:56We love you.
31:58Go ahead, Preston.
31:59Take it away.
32:04We both love Andrew Walker.
32:14But I do have to give Laura credit for being the Andrew Walker super fan.
32:18We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you so much! Come on!
32:24It's a hard job, but someone has to be it.
32:27Okay, guys, are you ready for some Christmas trivia?
32:32Ready!
32:33I'm Christmasted in my heart.
32:37Leading Lady Beth as a concert musician, what instrument does she play?
32:42Oh, is it the one where she plays the piano?
32:44She plays like jingle bells at the end?
32:45No, no, no, no, no, that's not Christmas to my heart. That's the one with Elizabeth Carlin.
32:49I would go with cello.
32:51I would say in our family and in our friend groups, we are definitely like the people you go to with a Hallmark question.
32:57Which instrument does she play, Andrew?
33:06Terrible.
33:07In Miracle in Bethlehem, what does Mary Ann do on her own just before Christmas?
33:15I haven't been in this one.
33:16What is Charlotte's job in the not-so-royal Christmas?
33:21I don't know.
33:22In the prequel to this movie, The Christmas House, what we're playing in mid-door, and his husband, James, anxiously waiting.
33:31These are really hard.
33:33I thought we were going to be amazing at trivia, and it turns out we are solidly mid.
33:42Happy Christmas!
33:48And they will be amazing!
33:56I'm going to go for your patience.
33:58I was terribly loved.
34:01Bootshot is just full of energy.
34:04During the pandemic, Tyler created this tradition of having a bootshot with friends and family as a way to stay connected.
34:10Everyone is just so happy to be there and has been clearly looking forward to this moment.
34:18Mom, you're Tyler!
34:19He's so cute.
34:20He's so cute.
34:21Paige is praying and hoping she runs into Tyler.
34:25And I think Paige actually thinks she has a shot with Tyler.
34:29Wait, why do you say thinks?
34:31No, Paige has a shot with Tyler, no?
34:33Yes, yes, yes, yes, you do.
34:36There are not a lot of places in this world where you have something that has been found in this kind of meeting of everybody in one space, sharing one moment together.
34:44Tyler is the crew's favorite.
34:47And I have a chance.
34:48Win him over and happily ever after in a Hallmark movie.
34:51And I have a chance.
34:52Okay.
34:52You do.
34:53You do.
34:53Wes Brown is walking toward me.
35:07How is this even happening to me?
35:10It's my Hallmark pass.
35:17You know it's right now.
35:19Yeah!
35:20Yeah!
35:20Yeah!
35:20Yeah!
35:21Yeah!
35:22Yeah!
35:22Yeah!
35:23My mom asked me to call you stepdad.
35:32Oh my God!
35:33Oh no!
35:34Yes!
35:35My husband needs help.
35:36Oh my God.
35:37I don't know how much she's drinking, but you know what?
35:39Bring up.
35:41Hey!
35:43Where are you guys from?
35:45Did you get an ear?
35:46Well, really California.
35:47Yeah.
35:48And you guys, are your sisters?
35:50Is that...
35:50My mom is my sister-in-law.
35:52She's been going through a lot of health stuff over the last few years.
35:54She's been having babies.
35:55This is our first trip together.
35:57Just hanging out.
35:58And now we're here to just have fun and celebrate this.
36:00Because that's what Hallmark Channel does, right?
36:01That's great!
36:01That's great!
36:01That's great!
36:02You're beautiful.
36:03You're my Hallmark Channel.
36:03You're so beautiful.
36:04Show these muscles off right there.
36:08There you go.
36:09There you go.
36:09I immediately have regrets, like, get this Santa hat off my head.
36:15What am I doing wearing this silly Santa hat?
36:17You look beautiful.
36:18You're so cute.
36:19It was my chance, my shot, my Hallmark pass, and I got a big fuzzy Santa hat on my head.
36:24If you want to hand Tyler my number, you totally can.
36:28You want me to give Tyler your number?
36:29Yeah, I do.
36:31It's just an ask.
36:32It's not a requirement.
36:33It's an ask.
36:34I can give Tyler your number.
36:35I see Paige holding Jonathan Bennett's hand and Carrie talking to Wes Brown, and I'm across
36:41the table, and I'm like, where is my star?
36:43Is Sarah Drew coming?
36:44I'm just wondering.
36:45I love you, but I hate you.
36:47This has been so awkward for me.
36:48I hate it.
36:49I hate it.
36:50Go ahead.
36:50Say hi, stepdaddy.
36:51Say hi, stepdaddy.
36:52Hi, stepdaddy.
36:53Okay.
36:54You know what?
36:55Let's get you out of here for your protection.
36:57We'll see you guys on board, all right?
36:58Let's get him out of here for his protection.
37:00Thank you guys.
37:00My, my, my, my, what are you going to see me, y'all?
37:08You're so unhappy.
37:09I was too far away.
37:11Oh my God, look at her, look, look, look, look.
37:13Look at her just, like, taking shots with Wes Brown and Jonathan Bennett.
37:16Oh my gosh.
37:19I'm so proud of you, Grandma.
37:20I'm done.
37:20I'm done.
37:20I'm not.
37:21Where's my?
37:23Here, Tyler.
37:24I'm done.
37:30Excuse me, guys.
37:32Have you seen some grandmas?
37:33No.
37:40Where did they go?
37:44Hmm.
37:48Have you seen some grandmas around?
37:50Lost my grandmas.
37:51I haven't seen your grandmas.
37:52Happy birthday, Nate.
37:55He had those ear texts.
37:56Oh, my gosh.
37:57I told him.
37:59I know.
37:59He wouldn't let me.
38:00That's why I do not get a cell phone.
38:02The Apple, because he will trace me everywhere I'm at.
38:05No.
38:06I'm surprised he doesn't go in the ladies' room with us.
38:08He just waits for us and stuff too much.
38:11Oh, my gosh.
38:12I'm missing my grandmas.
38:14Yeah.
38:15I wonder if you ever see, like, um, a whale.
38:19A whale.
38:23A whale.
38:25If you see a whale jumping up and down.
38:27I don't know where they go.
38:28I don't know where he is.
38:29Oh, wow.
38:31Oh, God.
38:32Excuse me, ladies.
38:33Have you seen any grandmas walking around?
38:36Me?
38:36You?
38:37I'm looking for my grandmas.
38:39None of your Grammy they go by.
38:40Are you the one that your grandma bought the trip for you?
38:43Yes.
38:43I'm Nate.
38:43It's nice to meet you.
38:44I met her, yes.
38:45You already know where she is.
38:47I don't know where she is, but I met her.
38:49All right.
38:49Congratulations.
38:50Thank you so much.
38:51That's wonderful you're coming on the trip.
38:52It's my 16th birthday on December 10th.
38:54So this is my gift.
38:55And, hey, it's the best gift I've ever gone.
38:57I'm 80.
38:58And this is my birthday present.
39:01Nani!
39:02Grammy!
39:02Grammy!
39:03Oh, God.
39:05Gabby, you cracked me up.
39:07I'm a big Hallmark fan, a big fan of yours.
39:31Oh, awesome.
39:32All right.
39:32You want the badge?
39:32I think I'm the only one here.
39:34Oh, that'd be great.
39:35Yeah?
39:35Two feet away.
39:36He is my favorite actor of all, Hallmark.
39:40You're a big Christmas fan?
39:42Big.
39:42Yeah?
39:43My partner Donna is a huge fan, too.
39:46Believe it or not, she has ornaments with all the actors together.
39:48No way.
39:49Where is she?
39:50Well, she had brain surgery a couple years ago.
39:52Oh, man.
39:53Good days and bad, so she...
39:54That's terrifying.
39:55But she's here.
39:57She's here?
39:57And she's healthy.
39:58She's doing great.
39:59She's a warrior.
40:00Oh.
40:01But I always pictured us getting married and her telling her story.
40:05And I actually brought rings here.
40:07She doesn't know.
40:07And I'm going to try to get married here.
40:10Try to get married on the ship?
40:11That's a surprise.
40:12What?
40:12Yes.
40:13It's going to be...
40:14I should write this down.
40:15This is the next movie.
40:17I just hope we can pull it all off without her.
40:18I have stuff hidden in my room.
40:20How nervous are you?
40:21You're planning...
40:22This isn't just a Christmas cruise.
40:23You're, like, planning a whole thing.
40:25Hang on.
40:25One second.
40:25Drew!
40:26Drew!
40:27Come here for a sec.
40:28You get pumped up, you too.
40:29Look at this cat.
40:30Look at this cat.
40:31Wow, he's sweating at everything.
40:33Andrew.
40:34Hey, Drew.
40:34Rob.
40:35Rob.
40:36Andrew.
40:36Nice to meet you.
40:37Pleasure to meet you.
40:37This is a big Hallmark.
40:38Big Christmas fan.
40:38Yeah.
40:39Yeah.
40:39He's got an incredible story.
40:41And he's going to try and get married to his fiancée.
40:45So she knows about this marriage?
40:46No, he's surprised because he snuck her wedding dress on the thing.
40:51I'm so excited for you.
40:53I don't know if I can pull it off.
40:55Do you have it figured out?
40:56No.
40:57You're just going to wing it.
40:58If you're looking for somebody to marry you, we'll build out a whole wedding.
41:02Yeah, we'll build out a whole wedding.
41:03We'll do the whole thing.
41:04No.
41:04Yes, come on.
41:06No, we got a roster.
41:07We live for this.
41:08She would die.
41:09Okay.
41:10You got to get that yes now.
41:12Now that the Hallmark stars are involved, I need a yes more than ever.
41:16Pressure's up.
41:23This season on Christmas Etsy.
41:27We will never be closer to Hallmark stars than we are right now.
41:31Oh, wow.
41:35I'm Tyler.
41:36I know you are.
41:36It's Tyler's mama.
41:38I love it.
41:39Can they hear us?
41:40Nope.
41:41I got to tell you something.
41:42The names are Alicia and Scared.
41:47I don't do this.
41:48I want to back out.
41:49The last few years have been a little complicated for me.
41:52It's hard.
41:54It is nerve-wracking for me to kind of bring up something.
41:57I was thinking about this a lot.
41:59I think this is a terrible idea.
42:01I put my heart and soul into the screenplay.
42:03I wrote my very first Hallmark screenplay.
42:07We did glance through the first couple pages.
42:12Not only am I asking her to marry me, I'm asking her to marry me tomorrow.
42:16She may flip out.
42:18You're officiating a wedding?
42:20Yes.
42:20Say yes.
42:21That's a big part.
42:24There's no way she said no to that guy.
42:26He's a Hallmark king.
42:27He's a Hallmark king.
42:57I'm sorry, he's a Hallmark king.
42:58You're officiallyonne màu.
