Hallmark Channel just granted fans another item on their Christmas wish list. After weeks of hints from the stars and rumors among fans, the network officially announced on July 24, 2025, that Tyler Hynes and Erin Krakow will reunite onscreen for a new holiday movie called “Christmas Above the Clouds.”
Fans have been begging for a re-pairing of Hynes, 39, and Krakow, 40, since they co-starred in the beloved 2021 rom-com “It Was Always You.”
The duo posted a cute video from the set in which they traded sultry expressions before Krakow burst into laughter. A simple caption told fans all they needed to know: “Hey…🎄 E + T ☁️ @hallmarkchannel.”
Tyler Hynes & Erin Krakow’s New Movie is a Modern Twist on ‘A Christmas Carol’
Hallmark describes “Christmas Above the Clouds” as a “a comedic, modern-day reimagining of ‘A Christmas Carol,” according to People. It will premiere as part of Hallmark’s 16th annual Countdown to Christmas movie lineup, though a release date hasn’t been given.
The outlet reported that Hallmark’s logline for the movie says, “When a workaholic CEO (Krakow) tries to skip Christmas by flying to Australia, she’s in for the flight of her life. Haunted by her past, present, and future, she’s forced to confront the choices that led to her success yet left her flying solo. With the help of three quirky spirits and a surprise reunion with her ex (Hynes), she might just rediscover the magic of Christmas — and the love she thought she’d lost.”
Krakow told People, “Ever since our 2021 Hallmark movie It Was Always You, we’ve been touched and overwhelmed by our viewers’ passionate pleas for a reunion project. We were thrilled to be able to reunite on this very special take on ‘A Christmas Carol,’ and we can’t wait to share it!”
“To quote the great poet Peaches & Herb,” Hynes told the outlet, “‘Reunited and it feels so good.'”
Hynes also shared a photo of him with Krakow from People in his Instagram Stories and wrote, “Tylerin. Thank you for your patience. Believe me I’ve been listening 🙏🤍”
