We were joined on the Popternative show by Tamera Mowry-Housley (Sister, Sister), to discuss her new Hallmark holiday film, Scouting for Christmas, which premiered on October 20th. Tamera is no stranger to Hallmark Christmas movies as she has previously starred in Christmas Angel (2012), A Christmas Miracle (2019), Christmas Comes Twice (2020), The Santa Stakeout (2021), and Inventing the Christmas Prince (2022).
Scouting for Christmas follows realtor and single mom Angela (Mowry-Housley) who’s schedule makes it hard for her to find time for anything. She can barely get her daughter, Brooklyn, to her scout meetings on time, much to the disapproval of the other mothers. When Brooklyn gets the idea to have William, the owner of her favorite bakery, cater her scout troop’s annual holiday event, she asks Angela to work with him on pitching the idea to the moms in charge.
Despite sensing that her daughter might be trying to play cupid, she agrees to help and finds herself enjoying time with him, but is reluctant to open her heart and life to someone new. When Dakota returns, missing her, Angela must decide what is best for her daughter and best for her heart.
The film also stars Carlo Marks (Chesapeake Shores), Audrey Wise Alvarez (The Good Doctor), Marci T. House (Christmas in Evergreen: Bells Are Ringing), James Paladino (The Cases of Mystery Lane), and Jaycie Dotin (Curious Caterer films).
In our interview, Tamera discusses the holiday cozy feel in Scouting for Christmas, what goes into the filming process, and more. Watch the full conversation below.
Scouting for Christmas will air next on the Hallmark Channel on November 20th at 12:00 a.m.
