What is Jingle Bell Run about?
Avery (Williams) is an unadventurous schoolteacher whose sister secretly signs her up for The Great Holiday Dash, a Christmas-themed reality competition show where she’s paired with former hockey player Wes (Walker). Despite clashing at first, Avery’s puzzle-solving skills and Wes’ physical prowess help them excel as they travel from city to city and compete in festive feats that have a local flavor. It’s not long before a real connection between these opposites begins to blossom. But when Avery overhears a conversation between Wes and a show producer it threatens to derail their budding romance. Keeping their eyes on the prize, the duo continues to dash to the finish line but there may be a more personal adventure for them still in store.

Meet the cast of Jingle Bell Run
Ashley Williams (Avery)
Williams has starred in several Hallmark Channel movies, including the Sister Swap movies opposite her real-life sister, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. She came up with the idea for Hallmark Media’s “Make Her Mark” initiative, an on-the-job mentoring program where aspiring female filmmakers shadow more experienced directors and producers on the production of a Hallmark movie, with the intention that they will direct their own Hallmark film in the near future. The first recipient was Signed, Sealed, Delivered‘s Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe. Lowe’s Hallmark directorial debut was with Shifting Gears. Lowe’s latest directorship was This Time Each Year which featured a cameo by Williams.

Andrew Walker (Wes)
Even though he played a bit of a nefarious character in the first season of When Calls the Heart, Andrew Walker has since become a fan favorite on Hallmark Channel with films like Bottled with Love opposite Bethany Joy Lenz and Dashing Through the Snow with Meghan Ory. He starred in the fan favorite Christmas movie, Three Wise Men and a Baby and stars in the upcoming sequel, Three Wiser Men and a Boy. His most recent Hallmark film was For Love and Honey.
