How LeAnn Rimes Dipped Her Toes Into Hallmark Christmas Movies

According to Forbes, Hallmark has a total of 40 Christmas movies on the network, one of which is their 2018 film titled "It's Christmas, Eve," featuring LeAnn Rimes as the main character (named Eve, of course). In the movie, Rimes (who previously starred in the hit soap opera, "Days of our Lives"), plays a school superintendent with a passion for troubleshooting school budget issues. As typical with Hallmark movies, she returns to her hometown near Christmastime, tasked with helping a school turn around its bankrupt music department (via IMDb). We won't give too much of the ending away, but rest assured, you will be saying, "aww" by the end.

Rimes agreed with many Christmas-movie lovers when she told TV Insider that the Hallmark channel is the "kings of holiday films," explaining that starring in a Hallmark movie with a musical aspect was a perfect fit for her. She went on to explain that the first film she ever starred in was a 1997 holiday movie called "Holiday in Your Heart" when she was just 14 years old. For Rimes, she felt it was time for her to star in another Christmas-themed movie – this time, as an adult.
