Hallmark Channel is currently working on the second installment of the Biltmore Christmas franchise and the first behind-the-scenes photos from set were just shared by returning stars Wes Brown and Rachel Boston!

The original film followed a screenwriter who is hired to write the script for the remake of a beloved holiday movie, filmed in the 1940s at the historic Biltmore House. She gets sent to the iconic location for research and ends up traveling back in time to the 1947 set of His Merry Wife.

Wes and Rachel appeared in 2023′s A Biltmore Christmas at the end of the movie, playing the actors who starred in the remake.

2026′s A Grand Biltmore Christmas will feature a brand-new story with brand-new characters played by Holland Roden and Niall Matter, but we’re once again getting cameos from Rachel and Wes. It also has been confirmed that Jonathan Frakes is reprising his role as Winston.

“Absolutely thrilled to be back in Asheville, North Carolina at the stunning Biltmore Estate for A Grand Biltmore Christmas, stepping back into this role with the lovely Rachel Boston. Grateful to Hallmark Channel for the opportunity to come back and re visit these characters,” Wes wrote on Instagram.

He added, “Niall Matter and Holland Roden are gonna blow you guys away!!”

During an on-set interview this week, Rachel said, “Having these memories and being back with this fabulous cast for A Grand Biltmore Christmas and getting to celebrate here again [is incredible.] And it’s such a great town, we’ve really enjoyed exploring.”

The new movie will air during 2026′s Countdown to Christmas at the end of this year.
