Looking for a Holiday Hockey Romance? Try this Hallmark Channel Throwback!

Hockey romance is all the rage, and bonus points when you can combine hockey, romance and the holidays for the perfect hat trick! Checkin’ it Twice is a throwback gem from Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas 2023. The movie features Kim Matula (The Way to You, Ghosts of Christmas Always) and Kevin McGarry (The Spirit of Halloween).

Long before Crave’s Heated Rivalry television series was heating up our TV screens, Hallmark Channel’s sweet-as-pie hockey romance combined holiday magic and ice hockey. Matula plays a real estate agent who returns home for the holidays to discover a hockey player (McGarry) living in her family’s backyard rental. As the town prepares for Christmas, the duo find themselves getting closer as the big day, and the big game, draw near.

Checkin’ It Twice is currently available to stream on Hallmark Plus with a subscription.

What is Checkin’ It Twice about?
