The stars of Hallmark’s HOLIDAZED are sharing what they love about the series, from funny scenes to heartwarming family moments.
“When I read it, I just could not believe Hallmark had not done this kind of show before. It seems so perfect,” Lindy Booth told Movieguide®. “It was an amazing idea, and just so beautifully constructed [with] so much of that Hallmark love.”
HOLIDAZED “follows five families in Oak Bay, Oregon, who live on the same cul-de-sac, as they deal with the joys and stress of coming home for the holidays,” per IMDb.

Co-star Rachelle Lefevre added that each episode explores the characters’ “unique set of problems and unique set of challenges and different relationships that they have, but we all have that in common.”
“It’s such a unique dynamic [that] you don’t see a lot in Christmas movies,” Holland Roden shared. “I am just blessed to be a part of one of 37 cast members.”
SCRUBS star John C. McGinley explained that, at its heart, HOLIDAZED “is about communion and inclusion and celebrating that.”
“This show is one of the most special experiences…in our lives,” Erin Cahill added. “What an honor to be part of something that’s so well-rounded, that’s so fun and funny and touching and emotional and relatable.”
Showrunner Claudia Grazioso spoke about HOLIDAZED to Forbes, joking that it was “a lot to keep track of. But it makes for a very fun look at family life during the holidays!”
“What we really wanted to do with this was show real families conflict, real chaos, and real love. We want the audience to see themselves in some of these characters,” she continued. “I think you’ll see that these families are real, and it may not be the storybook happy ending that people see coming, but it’s emotional. And, you know, we may fight, we may have issues, but at the end of the day, we need each and those little blips along the way are what make our relationships stronger.”
HOLIDAZED’s first two episodes premiere on Hallmark+ Thursday, Nov. 14, with new episodes to follow every Thursday.
