Love Under the Mistletoe (2026): Cast, Story, and What to Expect
Hallmark closes out its Christmas in July 2026 premieres with Love Under the Mistletoe, a second-chance romance built around a charity fundraiser and a historic old house. It airs Saturday, July 25 at 8/7c, the last of the four new movies during Hallmark’s Christmas in July 2026.
What Love Under the Mistletoe Is About
Grace (Jen Lilley) is an interior designer who runs a business with her best friend and her brother in the quaint town of Ivy Glen, and she is far too busy for a real relationship. Then Ryan (Nick Bateman), a successful New York City financial advisor and Grace’s former high school crush, comes back home planning to sell his grandmother’s historic St. Nicholas House.
The mayor convinces Ryan to revive the beloved Ribbons and Bows charity fundraiser and brings Grace on board to help. Working side by side to pull the event together, the former couple start reminiscing, and the feelings they once shared slowly resurface. The only question left is whether this holiday reunion leads to love under the mistletoe.
