Hallmark Favorites and New Faces Heading to Jersey
Christmas is coming early for Christmas movie fans! Christmas Con has announced its first stars for the December 2025 event, and the lineup is already full of fan favorites and exciting newcomers.
The Three Wise Men Return
The beloved trio (and one more!) who won hearts in the “Three Wiser Men” are all confirmed to appear.
Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad will reunite for a weekend of festive fun and will bring their distinctive charm and holiday spirit to New Jersey.
The Emotional Return of Brennan Elliott
In what is sure to be a touching moment, Brennan Elliott will return to Christmas Con this year following the heartbreaking passing of his wife Camilla Rowe.
The supportive atmosphere of thousands of fans will surely provide some much-needed holiday cheer.
First-time festivities will begin
Four Christmas Con newcomers will make their debut at the 2025 event:
- Heather Hemmens (Tyler Hynes’ co-star from “The Groomsmen”) will come to the convention with her “Yellowstone” and Hallmark experience
- Veteran Hallmark actor Brendan Penny will finally join the festivities after starring in at least eight Christmas movies
- Former Superman Brandon Routh reschedules his previously canceled 2024 appearance
- “She’s All That” star Rachael Leigh Cook will make her first Christmas Con appearance, which was prevented by scheduling conflicts in 2024
Lacey’s Leading Men
While Lacey Chabert has not been announced (yet), several of her regular co-stars will be in attendance:
- Wes Brown, who recently revealed he is filming a third “Haul Out the Holly” movie with Chabert
- Will Kemp, her dance partner from “A Christmas Waltz” and co-star in “A Merry Scottish Christmas”
— as well as Hynes, Walker, and Penny—all have been Chabert’s leading men before

The announcements don’t stop there! Additional stars confirmed in recent updates include:
- Returning favorites: Nikki DeLoach, Victor Webster, B.J. Britt, Cameron Mathison, and Stephen Huszar
