What began as a light-hearted holiday competition featuring ten aspiring actors has evolved into one of Hallmark’s most spirited showcases of talent and personality. 'Finding Mr. Christmas', Hallmark’s first reality competition series, puts contestants through a variety of entertaining challenges—each infused with the network’s signature warmth—to determine who has the heart, talent, authenticity, and charisma to become Hallmark’s next leading man. Hosted by Jonathan Bennett ('Mean Girls', 'The Holiday Sitter') and Melissa Peterman ('Happy’s Place', 'Reba'), and supported by special guest judges throughout the season, the show blends performance, charm, and genuine connection in a format that celebrates everything Hallmark audiences love.
The season two finale will air on Monday, December 15, 2025, with the episode streaming the next day on Hallmark+. At stake is a coveted role in a Hallmark Channel, 'Countdown to Christmas' movie premiering as part of the 2025 holiday programming event. With anticipation building, I interviewed all three finalists about reaching this milestone, reflecting on their experiences and the unique journey each of them has taken to get here. Our conversation mixed sincere insights with playful banter, including how to remain serious while posing in their undergarments for a holiday-themed photo shoot, and the all-important question of how each one prefers their hot chocolate.
The finalists represent a dynamic blend of talents. Craig Geoghan of Long Island, New York, channels the confidence of a former quarterback with a natural on-screen ease. His combination of athleticism and East Coast charm has made him a standout throughout the competition. Rustin Cole Sailors from San Diego, California; whom I previously reviewed in the live musical, 'Million Dollar Quartet' as Elvis Presley at South Coast Repertory, brings the refined instincts of a musical-theater professional, with creativity and emotional nuance shaping every performance. Completing the trio is Angel Garet, originally from Caracas, Venezuela, whose path from competitive sports to modeling and acting reflects deep determination and purpose. His resilience and drive have made him one of the season’s most compelling contenders.
Together, these three finalists embody the spirit of 'Finding Mr. Christmas', and their combined humor, heart, and holiday enthusiasm set the stage for a memorable season two finale.
'Finding Mr. Christmas' airs on Monday, December 15, 2025, with the episode streaming the next day on Hallmark+.
