Who’s Coming for Christmas?
Subtitle: Eight empty chairs, a last-minute dinner party, and the holiday equivalent of collecting friends like Pokémon.

Julie Wilson has recently moved to town and decides to honor her late grandmother by filling all eight seats at the family's treasured Christmas Eve dining table. There's just one small problem: she doesn't actually have eight people to invite. Most people start with a guest list and then plan dinner. Julie apparently prefers to build the dining room first and let Christmas sort out the logistics.

Along the way, she befriends her handsome neighbor Mark and his adorable daughter, Vanessa. Mark offers to help recruit dinner guests, while Julie helps him create a memorable Christmas for his little girl. Naturally, friendship turns into something more, because apparently the only thing faster than Santa's sleigh is a Hallmark romance.

When bad weather threatens to ruin the festivities, Julie's ambitious dinner party faces its biggest challenge yet. But with new friendships, family connections, and a generous helping of holiday magic, the evening may still come together.

Who’s Coming for Christmas? has everything you'd expect from Hallmark movies: a charming neighbor, a heartwarming community, and a Christmas dinner that requires more coordination than a corporate merger. It's a sweet reminder that Hallmark holiday movies aren't really about how many people sit at your table—it's about finding the people who make you glad you set the extra place settings.
