Hunter King’s Hallmark Hanukkah movie Eight Nights for Love debuts photos with star Dan Jeannotte

A holiday movie premiere

King, 33, stars opposite Jeannotte in Eight Nights for Love. Hallmark Channel will air the movie on Sunday, November 29, at 6pm ET, with streaming on Hallmark+ the following day.

The movie is scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend, before Hanukkah begins on December 4. The story centers on Hannah, who works at a large auction house in New York City.

Hannah’s holiday takes a turn

Hannah looks forward to her best friend Ethan’s visit and a break from work. But Ethan tells her he has persuaded his wealthy boss’s daughter to sell the family’s Judaica collection through Hannah’s auction house, provided Hannah manages the sale.

Hannah also meets Pearl, a mysterious woman who gives her an antique menorah. Each night of Hanukkah, it takes Hannah to a different time in her life, with Pearl guiding her.

Reflecting on the past

The trips show Hannah moments from her past, including some involving Ethan. They lead her to reconsider her choices, step outside her comfort zone and confront her fear of failure. The article’s plot description ends mid-sentence after saying Hannah’s journeys through the past have an effect, so it does not state how the story concludes.

Cast and previous roles

Felicia Shulman, Lauren Collins and Darrin Baker also appear in the movie. King is known for Life in Pieces and The Young and the Restless, for which she won two Daytime Emmy Awards.

King has appeared in eight earlier Hallmark Channel movies, including 2024’s most-watched film, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Jeannotte’s television credits include The Bold Type, Reign, Good Witch and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; he has appeared in Hallmark movies since 2019.
