In 2020, we got our first same-sex wedding ("Wedding Every Weekend") and our first Christmas film with an openly gay couple ("The Christmas House"). In 2021,  we got our first same-sex kiss in a Hallmark Chan

 Hearties rejoice. Erin Krakow, who has played Elizabeth Thornton (nee Thatcher) on "When Calls The Heart" since Season One, and Daniel Lissing, who played Jack Thornton on the series from Seasons One to Five, are set to star in "Santa Tell Me", which will air as part of Hallmark Channel's 2024 Countdown To Christmas programming. It will be the first time that Krakow and Lissing have appeared in a Hallmark Channel production together since the latter left "When Calls The Heart" at the end of Season Five. "Santa Tell Me" will be Krakow's first Hallmark Christmas movie (not counting the "When Calls The Heart" Christmas movies) since 2019's "Sense, Sensibility & Snowmen" and the first for Lissing since 2018's "Christmas In Love".  Sources https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/when-calls-the-heart-erin-krakow-daniel-lissing-reunion-hallmark-christmas-movie-1235899730/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm400370
