In this new movie, the Hope Valley community will come together to help a group of stranded orphans who are stuck in the frontier town over the holidays. Fans will also get their first glimpse of pregnant Elizabeth as she prepares for motherhood without Jack.

Following his departure from the show, Daniel Lissing, who played Jack for five seasons, won't be featured in the movie. But don't worry Lissing fans, you can still catch him on the network this holiday season in the new Hallmark Channel movie Kringles for Christmas.
