Winter’s Dream (aka The Heart of the Mountain) (TV Movie)

Signed, Sealed, Delivered star Kristin Booth is back in British Columbia for her latest project, Winter’s Dream. The movie is part of this year’s Winterfest original movie series from the Hallmark Channel which airs throughout January.

The story of Winter’s Dream was developed by Kristin and her husband Tim Ware. Tim also wrote the script for the movie, and Kristin is serving as the executive producer. Not much has been officially revealed about the plotline, however it looks like it will be a love story closely tied to skiing or snowboarding. The first couple days of production were spent at Mad Dog’s, a ski and snowboard shop on Montrose Avenue in downtown Abbotsford.

Update: Hallmark has released the official logline for Winter’s Dream: “A former ski champion reenters the competitive world when a 16-year old downhill racer asks for help, leading her to reawaken an old passion and find a new love.”

Kristin also revealed via Instagram that the movie would be spending time filming at Manning Park Ski Resort, which is just off the Crowsnest Highway between Hope and Princeton.

It sounds like Kristin will make an appearance in the movie, but the stars are Kristy Swanson (Dude, Where’s My Car?, Psych) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Supergirl).

Kristy shared a behind the scenes look at the movie via her Instagram:

We’ll update this article if more information about Winter’s Dream is revealed. Winter’s Dream will continue filming in British Columbia until December 8th and will premiere January 27th at 9pm on the Hallmark Channel in the US.

Frozen in Love (TV Movie)

Like Winter’s Dream, Frozen in Love is part of Hallmark’s Winterfest lineup that will be airing in January. Again, the storyline hasn’t been released, but it’s sure to be set in a winter wonderland. The production scouted the Revelstoke area, where Hallmark’s Marry Me at Christmas filmed earlier this year.

In an interview with Ruth Hill at My Devotional Thoughts, writer Rick Garman revealed that Frozen In Love will star Rachael Leigh Cook (She’s All That), and it’s a story based on her original idea. Rachael spent the month of June in British Columbia filming another Hallmark movie called Summer in the Vineyard. It was the follow-up to Autumn in the Vineyard, which also filmed in the province in 2015.

We’ll update this article if more information about Frozen in Love is revealed. Frozen in Love will continue filming in British Columbia until December 8th.
