On the heels of Hallmark Channel's historic debut of Northpole, which premiered on November 15, 2014, the network has cast Lori Loughlin and Bailee Madison in Northpole 2, premiering Holiday 2015. Hallmark Channel extends its partnership with Hallmark Cards in long-form entertainment to produce another "magically stunning and thrilling holiday adventure."
Loughlin will play a woman who receives some unexpected Christmas cheer and magic from a team of elves headed by the cheerful Clementine, a role Madison will reprise.
Northpole 2 is the centerpiece of Hallmark Channel's annual "Countdown to Christmas" annual programming event.
"Developing a hugely successful film in partnership with Hallmark Cards was a tremendous accomplishment and we look forward to creating an even more spectacular second installment with Northpole 2 by casting two of the network's most beloved leading ladies, Lori Loughlin and Bailee Madison," said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming for Crown Media Family Networks.
Hallmark Channel's annual "Countdown to Christmas" event is a social and cultural phenomenon, bringing 80 million-plus viewers to the network in November and December and making Hallmark Channel #1 among households and key demos.* Beginning October 31, Hallmark Channel proudly announces this season’s Countdown To Christmas will kick off with more than 1300 hours of holiday favorites, including the World Premieres of the 12 New Movies of Christmas. No other network produces as much holiday-themed Original Programming as Hallmark Channel and 2014 is the network’s biggest, most impressive holiday delivery ever.
