A New Christmas Classic
The Hallmark Channel Original Movie Northpole is a fictional movie based on the real magical city, Northpole. The home of Santa, played by Robert Wagner, and Mrs. Claus, played by Jill St. John, has grown into a huge city powered by the magic of holiday happiness around the world. Yet the city is in trouble, as people everywhere are too busy to enjoy festive time together. The movie also stars Tiffani Thiessen as Chelsea; Max Charles as Kevin; Josh Hopkins as Ryan; and Bailee Madison as a mysterious elf, Clementine. Candice Glover makes a guest appearance as a gospel singer named Josephine. Northpole premieres only on Bravo on November 15 at 8 p.m. ET with encores running throughout the holiday season.
