What is Holidazed about?

Hallmark’s first-ever holiday series follows six families from different backgrounds, cultures and generations, all living on the same cul-de-sac, as they celebrate the chaos and the joy of the holiday season with a family that’s distinctly theirs. During a time when emotions are amplified, families and neighbors comedically and lovingly come together to celebrate their traditions—and eccentricities—that ultimately help them discover what they do have in common: LOVE in all its different forms.

“Our Christmas movies are a beloved annual tradition for tens of millions of viewers, which has made us synonymous with the merriest time of the year,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Hallmark Media’s programming chief. “When Gina Matthews and Grant Scharbo came to us with Holidazed, we knew it was time to enter the limited series space—the characters are complex yet relatable and the story they’re telling about these families is filled with humor and heart, which fits perfectly with the Hallmark brand.”
