Podcast: Play in new window
Megan and Wendy review Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday starring sisters Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams. In a Hallmark Channel first, the Sister Swap movies have a parallel storyline that happens at the same time but in different cities and with different sisters. It’s a little bit confusing but a little bit awesome, too.

News and Notes About Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday
- Filmed in Utah, with some scenes shot in Vancouver.
- This movie was filmed under the working title “Christmas at the Madison.”
- Movies were filmed back-to-back in April 12-May 22 and from June 5-July 5.
- This was the first time the sisters have worked together.
- Kimberly Williams-Paisley said the movie was sister Ashley’s idea and they pitched it to Hallmark about five years ago.
- Anna Holbrook (Another World), who played their mom in this movie, was the real-life best friend of the sisters’ mom who sadly passed a few years ago. They knew they wanted to cast Anna as their movie mom because of their close connection.
The First Movie for the Williams’ Sisters
The natural chemistry between Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams was very obvious in Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday. We’d love to see them work together again in future Hallmark movies. Maybe even a seasonal Sister Swap series? We’d love that!
