Despite these problems, the family members work together to revive their former holiday tradition. Other actors and famous friends were quick to jump in with their own messages about Williams. Lawrence also posted her own tribute to Instagram with photos from behind the scenes of “The Christmas House” and its sequel. It sounds like the cast became close and as such, they have been sharing emotional tributes to the late actor. [Laughs] Yeah, and Yesterday’s Tomorrow.
Jonathan Bennett Fills 'The Christmas House' with LGBTQ History (Video)
I’ve never laughed or loved harder on a set than with him and our magical Mitchell Family that he was the cornerstone of. Getting to play his TV son in two movies was an honor, and we are all so lucky to have been in his presence. In a lengthy Instagram post, star Jonathan Bennett wrote about his on-screen dad Treat Williams. The two co-starred in “The Christmas House” and its sequel, the first two movies in Hallmark history to feature an LGBTQ couple among its characters. ‘The Christmas House’ features the acting talents of a great ensemble cast with everyone playing their roles in a wonderfully convincing manner. Broadway legend Sharon Lawrence (best known for ‘NYPD Blue’ and ‘Shameless’) portrays the role of Phylis, who is facing some problems in her marriage with Treat Williams’ Bill.

Not to mention that Brandon and his husband’s kids will be at that perfect age. The holiday reality show they compete in is hilarious because it’s so much like what we have actually seen these days. And the fake TV shows that you reference throughout the movie all sound vaguely like they could have been real shows back when the UPN and WB were launching — like Port Authority P.D. I am an executive producer on this one and was giving notes all along, but unlike the first one, where the writer Erin Rodman and I broke the whole story together, on this one she ran with it entirely.
More Heavy on Hallmark News
Bennett is happily engaged to Jaymes Vaughan of “The Amazing Race.” In April, he shared the honor of being the first gay couple on the cover of The Knot. Today in BC reported that part of the movie was filmed in Sidney in mid-September, including turning Beacon Avenue into a snow-filled winter landscape. Bennett said Buckley wrote the script and came up with the idea because it was based on his real-life family. ET Canada reported that the movie was also filmed in Vancouver.
You may recognize Treat Williams from shows like ‘Chesapeake Shore’, ‘Chicago Fire’, and ‘American Odyssey’. Robert Buckley (‘iZombie’, ‘One Tree Hill’) plays one of the Mitchel brothers, Mike, who has lost his dream job and is currently unemployed. His character connects with his high-school crush and neighbor Andi (Ana Ayora of ‘Captain Marvel’). ‘Mean Girls’ star Jonathan Bennett plays the other Mitchel brother Brandon who, along with husband Jake (Brad Harder of ‘Aurora Teagarden Mysteries’), is stressed about the adoption of their first child. Bennett’s prolific acting background includes Snow Falls, Love on Repeat, Christmas Made to Order, Awkward (where he played Ethan), Hit the Floor, A Christmas Kiss II, Mean Girls, A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale, and more. He starred in two episodes of All My Children back in 2001 and 2002 and was in two episodes of Veronica Mars in 2004 at the beginning of his career.
“The Christmas House” re-airs on Friday, June 16 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on the Hallmark Channel. Williams is survived by his wife Pam Van Sant and their two children, Gille and Ellie. Ellie wrote a couple of emotional tributes to her father this week.

The family members each have issues that they are dealing with, that initially they do not tell each other about. Bill and Phylis have decided to sell the family house. Mike's TV show has not been renewed by the network. Brandon and Jake want to adopt a child, but their efforts have been unsuccessful.
When we sat down to break this story, we were like A) let’s get Mike and Brandon head-to-head and B) have some fun with the parents. In the new tale, Mike, having bought the Christmas House from his folks to keep the legacy alive, is back in town on a break from his perfectly titled legal drama, Handsome Justice, to shoot an episode of the Christmas Light Fight-ish reality show Deck Those Halls. But when his competitor drops out of the production, it’s decided that Brandon would make the perfect replacement, seeing as how he’s both adorable and staying in the house next door. Before you can say “sibling rivalry,” the Claus, er, claws are out and the guys are driving their loved ones nuts with their over-the-top plans to take the prize.

He hosts Halloween Wars on the Food Network. She’s a prolific actress with many credits to her name. Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, serves as the main filming location for the Hallmark movie ‘The Christmas House’. Other films and TV shows to have filmed in Victoria include titles such as ‘The X-Files’, ‘Deadpool’, ‘X-Men’, ‘2012’, and ‘Little Women’. Victoria is also quite popular a filming location for made-for-TV Christmas movies. He starred in Love in Store, which aired on The Hallmark Channel in August.
But something he did that I’ll never forget for the rest of my life is the hug he made sure to give Brad my TV husband as he got out of the car in our first scene. He wanted to make sure as a TV father he was on camera giving his gay son’s husband a huge hug and kiss when we showed up for Christmas. He thought it was important for other fathers watching to see the love and support between a dad and his son’s husband, it was so important to him. That’s the kind of love Treat had for all of us.
We’ve got all the information right here. Harder shared on his Instagram that he’s just not only excited to play the first married gay couple on Hallmark, but he’s thrilled that his real-life son gets to play his baby on screen. In real life, he’s married to Graham Arychuk. Harder’s full name in real life is Brad Harder Arychuk, but he goes by Brad Harder professionally.
