On a day that was merry and bright in New York City, Raising Cane’s Global Flagship wheeled out a holiday gifting campaign that brought joy and everlasting memories to the kids of Boys & Girls Club of Harlem.

Hallmark transformed Hudson Yard’s bustling and busy plaza into a winter wonderland, for its first bus tour, which was fittingly called Jingle Stop, in anticipation of its Countdown to Christmas.
Hallmark is already ahead of the game with its new cohort of holiday projects, including its most recent film, Scouting for Christmas, starring Tamera Mowry-Housley.

Christmas on Cherry Lane was a unique and thoughtful film that followed the story of three families simultaneously. We witness each family member’s festivities, traditions, worries and anxiety, especially pertaining to their holiday plans.
The film’s brilliant showcase of separate plots over various decades was perfected effortlessly and beautifully by both the writer and director. Christmas on Cherry Lane had a unique “big picture” take and gave us both a bird’s eye view and fly on the wall perceptions. The audience stepped into each of the three houses and rooted for each person to manage to surpass their personal obstacles.
The film was not only a sentimental and thoughtful seasonal movie but also a confirmation of how we’re all connected. The sense of humanity and empathy in the movie was done intentionally and with a purpose. Audience members discovered how all the families have been connected through different generations thanks to the protagonist’s evolution from being a teen to an elderly resident in the community tying it all together.
Besides Christmas on Cherry Lane displaying charming holiday themes, the movie philosophically confirmed the domino effect of our actions and the beauty of us all being connected with each other over decades of time. It’s a family friendly film that tugs at your heart strings and leaves a lasting effect of hope and positivity on the watcher and perhaps even a tear or two (guilty!).
It’s that time of the year again, holiday season and Hallmark is making is much easier to add a little personal touch to your special presents!
