Lifetime and AMC are among the other cable channels and streaming services that draw in the huge holiday-season audience with classic fare and new original Christmas-romance content every year.Ī new holiday movie is set on Nantucket: New Hallmark Channel Christmas romance movie is based on Nantucket author's book Small-screen Christmas movies have become big business in recent years, propelling frontrunner Hallmark Channel to become the most-watched entertainment cable channel among women 18 and older in the fourth quarter of the year for seven years in a row, according to statistics from that channel. The positive outcome when their family was faced with deciding whether to sell her family’s beloved vacation home inspired his screenplay for “A Cape Cod Christmas.” Stimpson met his wife, Carolyn Crowley, in 1979 when both were working at a restaurant previously on the site of Bucatino Restaurant and Wine Bar in North Falmouth. On scene last year: TV Christmas romance films in Falmouth “It's a community that’s just such a piece of me, and the place means so much to me that I wanted to show it off in a holiday kind of way.” “I've spent so many years in that area and … we spend summers down there and it's such a special place for me,” Stimpson said of Falmouth. The film had been intended as an homage to the town that has figured so prominently in his life. Stimpson couldn’t be more delighted that it all worked out this way. "We're glad they're a part of it," said Michael Kasparian, chamber president and CEO, about asking the actors to join the parade. This time, the two actors will be celebrating Falmouth's Christmas festivities for real.

That parade, known as the largest in southeast New England, wends its way down the same Main Street where many of the actors’ movie scenes took place, among businesses that had decorated early last year for filming purposes. And because the screenings ended up coinciding with the town’s Holidays by the Sea celebration, the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce invited the movie stars to ride in Sunday’s 58th annual Falmouth Christmas Parade.
