Traveling by Planes, Trains, Cars — and Even Through Time
Traveling during the holiday season is a beloved theme in Hallmark movies, captivating both characters and audiences. Whether it’s a road trip that sparks a romance, as seen in the 2015 film A Christmas Detour, or a festive cruise adventure like in 2025’s A Keller Christmas Vacation, Hallmark films cover a range of transportation modes to set the holiday mood.
Aside from traditional train journeys and holiday flights – such as the enchanting 2025 film Christmas Above the Clouds – Hallmark has now delved into the realm of time travel, adding a new dimension to their holiday movie repertoire that has fans eagerly anticipating each new release.
For instance, in the heartwarming story of 2025’s A Newport Christmas, socialite Ella (Ginna Claire Mason) embarks on a boat ride in 1905 only to mysteriously find herself transported to modern-day Rhode Island in 2025. There, she crosses paths with Nick (Wes Brown), who coincidentally owns the same boat but in the present time. This magical twist of fate ignites a love story that transcends both time and space, inspiring viewers to believe in the impossible.
