A Biltmore Christmas
- RT score: 93%

- Length: 84 minutes

We all love a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie to bring us comfort during the festive season and this holiday classic will do just that. The time traveling rom-com A Biltmore Classic follows screenwriter Lucy Hardgrove (Bethany Joy Lenz) who lands her dream job of writing the remake of the 1947 Christmas movie His Merry Wife!. While visiting the historic Biltmore House for inspiration, she discovers that she can travel back in time to the original set and forms a romantic connection with one of the stars. With a classic 1940s Hollywood backdrop, A Biltmore Christmas isn’t a traditional Hallmark film, but it still has all the escapism and wholesomeness you would expect from one.
