Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes are back together on screen in Hallmark Channel’s upcoming holiday film, Christmas Above the Clouds, scheduled to premiere at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 8. This marks their first collaboration since 2021’s It Was Always You, which was well-received by fans.
In Christmas Above the Clouds, Krakow stars as Ella Neezer, a CEO who, in an attempt to escape the Christmas spirit, plans a trip to Australia. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn as she is confronted by her past, present, and future, with three quirky spirits guiding her. The storyline reveals Ella’s struggle to balance her successful career with her personal life, leading her to reflect on her choices and a reunion with her ex-boyfriend, portrayed by Hynes. The film offers a fresh interpretation of the classic A Christmas Carol narrative.
An exclusive preview shared by PEOPLE showcases a poignant moment where Ella reminisces about a past Christmas party with Hynes’ character, evoking feelings of nostalgia and lost romance. The emotional clip captures Ella’s contemplation, asking her guide if they’re the “ghost of Christmas nostalgia,” further emphasizing the film’s theme of reflection and redemption.
The reunion of Krakow and Hynes has generated excitement among viewers, especially since their onscreen chemistry in their previous movie sparked a demand for a follow-up project. Hynes expressed his enthusiasm about working together again, citing the joy of their reunion, while Krakow highlighted the special nature of this new Christmas story.
Both actors have busy schedules ahead; Hynes is also participating in the third installment of the Three Wise Men series, which airs on November 15, and Krakow has recently concluded filming for season 13 of When Calls the Heart, set to premiere in 2026.
Christmas Above the Clouds promises to deliver heartfelt moments and holiday charm, making it a must-watch event for fans of Hallmark films. Following its premiere, the movie will also be available for streaming on Hallmark+.
