Dolly Parton’s new Hallmark movie, Christmas at Dollywood, debuted on Dec. 8 as part of Hallmark’s 10th Countdown to Christmas campaign. If you missed the debut, you still have five more opportunities to tune in this month.

The movie stars Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years) as Rachel, a single mom and Broadway producer who returns to her hometown roots—after suffering financial difficulty—to co-helm a production at Dollywood with its entertainment director, Luke. It’s likely the duo will clash before discovering love. Dolly makes a special appearance in the film

“As the pair meets in the middle to please the boss, little do Rachel and Luke realize love lurks in all the unexpected places because this isn’t the Great White Way. Or Hollywood. This is Dollywood,” reads the official logline.
