A Keller Christmas Vacation – What to Expect & When to Watch

If you’re as obsessed with holiday programming as we are here at Countdown Until Christmas, you’ll be thrilled to mark your calendar for the arrival of A Keller Christmas Vacation.

This heartwarming new Hallmark movie follows the Keller family — parents Anne and Ben, and their three adult children: Cal, Dylan, and Emory — as they embark on a 10-day river cruise along the Danube River through Germany, Salzburg, and Vienna, stopping in charming Christmas market towns along the way. Each sibling has grown apart, facing very different personal challenges, and the idea of being cooped together for ten days is awkward at best. But, of course, when families get together, magic can happen — imagine missed connections, new friendships, budding romance, shipboard game nights, and a secret that binds them closer just in time for Christmas.

The cast includes Jonathan Bennett, Brandon Routh, and Eden Sher.
