The film promises a blend of holiday magic and emotional depth, as Gentry is unexpectedly transported back to 1995, allowing her to spend precious time with her father and gain the inspiration she needs to reclaim her musical dreams. This nostalgic twist is sure to resonate with audiences, adding layers of sentimentality to the festive storyline.

What Is
A Grand Ole Opry Christmas
About?
A Grand Ole Opry Christmas
followes Gentry Woods (Nikki DeLoach), the daughter of late (fictional) country music icon Jett Woods, who is invited to perform at the Opry to honor her father. But Gentry ditched her dream of a songwriting career and distanced herself from her father’s legacy following his tragic car accident, and isn’t sure she’s ready to confront her family demons. Fortunately, she reunites with lifelong friend Mac (Kristoffer Polaha) and meets a few country music superstars along the way, who convince her that there’s no better time to shine — and find love — that at the Opry’s centennial celebration at Christmas.
Of course it wouldn’t be a Hallmark movie without some holiday magic sprinkled in too, and the official film description teases a little time travel. “Gentry visits the Opry and, while seated in one of the vaunted venue’s oak church pews, is suddenly transported to 1995. Gentry’s lifelong friend Mac (Polaha) a country music talent manager, finds himself in 1995 as well. Thanks to some Christmas magic, Gentry gets precious time with her father, creative inspiration to finish the song she began decades earlier as a teen and learns surprising answers to questions about her father that have followed her for the last three decades.”
In addition to DeLoach, Polaha, Paisley and the country singers mentioned earlier, the film stars
Desperate Housewives
fave James Denton and features longtime Opry stars Riders in the Sky, Nashville legend Bill Anderson, Opry inductees Jamey Johnson and Dailey and Vincent, and singer Suzy Bogguss, who was officially invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry in October.
“The Hallmark Channel to me is a major part of finding the joy and the spirit of the holidays,” Paisley says in a press release. “I loved the challenge of creating that same magic with this music by letting it take you to the same place that these movies and this world Hallmark has built. Can’t wait for you to hear what all we’ve done. Also, knowing the Opry is the setting for one of these movies is very inspiring.”
The movie is part of Hallmark’s “
Countdown to Christmas
” event, which went viral last year for the Taylor Swift-inspired
Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story
