Hallmark Media kicked off 2025 with four all-new Hallmark Channel movies — taking viewers all around the world from the comfort of their couch.
The network announced in December 2024 that its “Winter Escape” lineup would begin on January 4 with Love of the Irish. While filming the movie, star Shenae Grimes-Beech explored the Irish countryside with her husband, Josh Beech, and their two kids in tow.
“Hard not to romanticize the simple things when you’ve got 24 hours alone in an 18th-century Irish castle *swoon*,” Grimes-Beech captioned an Instagram video of her taking a bath, reading with a glass of wine and getting cozy during her downtime in October 2024.
After nearly a month of filming the rom-com — which also stars One Tree Hill alum Moira Kelly — Grimes-Beech told her followers that Ireland has a “huge chunk of my heart.”
