AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS Premieres Saturday, October 18, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS Fiona Gubelmann as Princess Victoria of Zelarnia Warren Christie as Huntley Blaylock BRAN’S A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS We are in Zelarnia, and Princess Victoria is a VIBE! She’s very clearly British—you can tell by her accent. She likes horses, she’s not great with candles… but SHE IS CRUSHING IT! She’s reading a Hallmark card from her papa—her papa taught her everything she knows about horses. She comes downstairs in her cozy, earth-toned pajamas. Missing her dad, Victoria wants to visit a ranch she used to spend time at with him as a kid. Her mom says, clearly, “This means a lot to you. Off you go.” It doesn’t take long for her to get into trouble. She runs over a guy’s box of ornaments—so inconsiderate. When she arrives at the ranch, she asks about the holiday ball. They tell her they don’t do that anymore. Princess Victoria is sad—but that’s nothing some Christmas games with other guests can’t fix. That is, until Mr. Angry Pants from earlier shows up. He introduces himself as Huntly and mentions he’s staying there… or something like that. Turns out, his parents own the ranch! He’s home for the holidays, taking a break from coaching baseball. They start working around the ranch together, and it’s magical. The thing is, Coach Huntly isn’t super skilled with ranch chores, but that doesn’t stop him from helping Victoria practice her lasso skills. It’s… a lot. The next day, Victoria sticks around to help decorate. She finds out the local volunteer firefighters need to raise money. Victoria says, “How about a Christmas dance? I can plan it!” Huntly doesn’t like the idea and storms off. What’s his deal? He goes to talk to his dad, who tells him to stop being such a dope. Huntly comes back and tells Victoria she can plan the party—but it has to be on the 19th. She sighs, “Well, I guess I’ll have to extend my trip.” To celebrate, they go stargazing together. We learn he hates the dance because it was supposed to be his big sendoff to play ball. He got injured that year and never went again. It also turns out they actually met as kids, and he always wished she’d return. He leans in for a kiss, and she stops him. She says, “I have to tell you something…I’m a princess.” He’s not fazed. They try to kiss again, but they get interrupted twice. Two interruptions is enough—they call it a night. The next day, he asks if she’d be his date to the dance. She’s all in. But when he tells her he wants to be on the same team and is open to moving to her kingdom, she gets scared. The next day, he gives her a little wooden horse—and that’s all she needed. They go to the dance together and party hard. He tells her he’s moving back home full-time. She says, “I could never ask you to leave your family, and I’m not leaving mine.” He takes that in and kisses her insanely, pulling her into his beard for safe keeping—then she storms off. YOURE MAKING THIS TOO HARD! Victoria ends up leaving the next day without saying goodbye, leaving her wooden horse behind. It seems like it’s over. Cut to Christmas Day in Montana. Huntly is doing chores when what do his wandering eyes behold but a princess! She tells him she’s giving her sisters the crown and is moving to Montana. They kiss HARD! She introduces him to her family, and they all have Christmas breakfast together—as Victoria and Huntly kiss hard again!
