Vivica A. Fox, who holds the title of the unofficial queen of Christmas films, will undoubtedly bring her festive spirit to the event. With over 20 Christmas movies to her credit across multiple networks, Fox is renowned for her prolific contributions to the holiday genre. She confidently proclaimed her status in an interview last year, highlighting her many successful projects with Lifetime and other networks.
Chad Michael Murray and Brennan Elliott are no strangers to Christmas Con, having attended in previous years, and they will return with much enthusiasm. Currently, Murray can be seen in his role on The CW’s series Sullivan’s Crossing. Meanwhile, Elliott’s latest Hallmark Channel movie, A Castle of Our Own, premiered this past June, although no details about their future Christmas projects have been confirmed as yet.
A notable highlight of the upcoming convention will be the appearance of Travis Van Winkle, who is set to celebrate the premiere of his new Hallmark Christmas film, Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True. Van Winkle will be joined by Lacey Chabert, his co-star in the movie, who will also be present at the event. The duo is expected to share insights from their time on set, making it a fantastic opportunity for fans.
The excitement does not end there, as Lacey Chabert’s presence will enable a reunion with her frequent collaborator, Brennan Elliott. The pair have worked together on ten Hallmark films, and there is speculation that their popular projects, such as Crossword Mysteries or the All of My Heart franchise, could make a return in the future.
In addition to the newly announced guests, the convention will also feature other cherished holiday movie stars. Attendees can look forward to seeing faces like Andrew Walker, Tyler Hynes, Paul Campbell, Kimberley Sustad, Crystal Lowe, B.J. Britt, and Danica McKellar, among others. The long list of participants is bound to create a vibrant atmosphere filled with festive cheer.
As expected at such a Christmas-themed event, Santa Claus will also make an appearance, further enhancing the festive spirit of the convention. Visitors will have a chance to interact with their favourite stars while enjoying a host of holiday activities, such as carol singing, tree lightings, and sweet treats that everyone loves during the festive season.
Christmas Con 2026 promises to provide a delightful experience not just for fans of Christmas films but for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit. With the main stage dedicated to fun panels, games, and interactive activities alongside the star-studded line-up, this year’s convention is poised to be a highlight of the holiday calendar.
For those interested in attending, ticket details and further information about the event can be found on the official Christmas Con website. An event like this not only offers a great way to meet beloved stars but also stands as a celebration of the joy and warmth that the holiday season brings.
