Before heading to Ontario to film the fourth season of “The Way Home,” cast members Chyler Leigh, Andie MacDowell, Sadie Laflamme-Snow and Evan Williams reunited for a special screening of their Hallmark Channel series’ third season on April 22, 2025.
Hosted by Hallmark Media at the private Hollywood club and luxury hotel The Aster, it was a party with a purpose. Known among Hollywood insiders as a “For Your Consideration (FYC)” event, Hallmark is one of many networks hosting screenings for Emmy voters, hoping they’ll consider “The Way Home” as they nominate shows, casts, and crews for the 2025 Emmy Awards.
Themed Food & Beverages at ‘The Way Home’ FYC Party Included ‘The Pond Hopper’ Specialty Cocktail
EntertainmentNOW/GettyAttendees at “The Way Home” FYC event were treated to a screening, panel discussion, treat bags, and an array of food from sliders to gorgeous charcuterie boards piled with meats, cheeses, and fruits.
Beverages included custom drinks based on the show, including a “Landry Lemonade Stand” with Desert Rose, Sunset and Topanga Canyon flavors. They also offered a specialty cocktail called “The Pond Hopper,” in honor of the show’s time-travel pond, made with lavender gin, elderflower and tonic.
The cast joined “The Way Home” showrunners Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke, as well as series co-creator and executive producer Marly Reed, for a panel discussion moderated by Variety’s Emily Longeretta.
Whether the screening and party swayed Emmy voters remains to be seen; nominees for the 2025 Emmys will be announced on July 15, per Entertainment Weekly.
