If you've ever found yourself counting down the days until Countdown to Christmas, watching Hallmark movies in your pajamas with a cup of hot cocoa (even when it's not December), or debating which Hallmark leading man is your favorite, then this is one event you'll want on your radar.
For the very first time, Hallmark is taking its feel-good storytelling off the screen and onto the stage with Hallmark Stars Live, a brand-new touring experience that lets fans spend an evening with some of the network's biggest stars. Even better? The tour is making two stops right here in New Jersey. As someone who's always on the lookout for unique events happening around the Garden State, this one immediately caught my attention.
What Is Hallmark Stars Live?
Think of it as an evening with your favorite Hallmark actors, but without the movie script! Hosted by Hallmark favorite Nikki DeLoach, each 90-minute show promises behind-the-scenes stories from movie sets, audience Q&A sessions, funny moments, and conversations that you simply won't get from watching television. Because the event is unscripted, every show will be a little different. That means no two audiences will have exactly the same experience.
Which Hallmark Stars Will Be There?
The tour features several familiar faces that Hallmark fans know and love, including:
- Nikki DeLoach
- Andrew Walker
- Ashley Williams
- Jonathan Bennett
- Kimberley Sustad
- Paul Campbell
- Tamera Mowry-Housley
*Note that not every actor will appear at every stop, so it's worth checking the lineup for your city before buying tickets.

Michaels is Joining the Fun
As the presenting sponsor, Michaels will also host select Hallmark stars at participating store locations in several tour cities throughout the summer. If you're someone who loves holiday crafts, DIY décor, or getting a jump on Christmas projects (no judgment, I know plenty of people who start in July!), these appearances could make the experience even more memorable.
Why I Think This Event Will Be a Hit
One of the things Hallmark has always done well is create a sense of comfort. Whether it's the cozy small towns, holiday traditions, or familiar faces, their movies have become part of many families' seasonal traditions. Hallmark Stars Live feels like a natural extension of that experience. Instead of simply watching the stories unfold on TV, fans get to hear directly from the actors, learn what happens behind the scenes, and enjoy an evening that's relaxed, funny, and unscripted. If you're looking for a fun girls' night out, a mother-daughter outing, or you're simply a longtime Hallmark fan, this sounds like a unique event that's worth checking out.
As for me, I'm curious to hear all the behind-the-scenes stories that never make it into the movies! I know it's going to be a fun evening. Will I see you there? Scroll below if you want to enter my giveaway!
