It may only be April, but that’s not stopping us from bringing a little holiday cheer.
PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the first stars hopping in Santa’s sleigh and heading to New Jersey this December for Christmas Con — and the lineup is filled with fun reunions!
Joining forces are two-time costars Jen Lilley and Ryan Paevey, who appeared together in both Harvest Love (2017) and A Little Daytime Drama (2021).
Thats4Entertainment’s Christmas Con 2026 will take place at the New Jersey Expo Center in Edison, New Jersey, from December 11-13, and it’s halls will be decked to the gills with carols, tree lightings and sweet treats. On the main stage, expect fun panels, games and activities with the stars. And, of course, Santa Claus will be there too.

New Film: A Royal Setting
From Paris to the kingdom of Gullion! Nearly seven years after starring in the movie Paris, Wine & Romance together, Hallmark gems Jen Lilley and Dan Jeannotte are reuniting for A Royal Setting, Swooon can exclusively reveal.
“Working with Dan again was such a joy. Having history together makes the on-screen chemistry feel effortless—it’s already there, and you just get to play,” Lilley said. “We laughed a lot, worked hard, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better scene partner. I can’t wait for fans to see what we created—it feels really special!”
The new Hallmark movie will premiere on March 28 and follows Ruby (Lilley), a world-renowned gemologist who dreams of being a jewelry designer. When she is summoned to the kingdom of Gullion to restore its long-hidden crown jewels, she thinks this will be a week of quiet work. She never expected to fall for Prince Luca (Jeannotte), a modern royal with a vision for change.
