When we were writing the first, coming from that world and playing a sort of version of myself, I was like, “We have to skewer this, we have to laugh at it.” And that is where Handsome Justice came from. We thought of the most absurd idea from that genre. He also shared a funny behind-the-scenes video of Lawrence. According to IMDb, Bennett came out as gay in 2014.
The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls
When we sat down to break this story, we were like A) let’s get Mike and Brandon head-to-head and B) have some fun with the parents. In the new tale, Mike, having bought the Christmas House from his folks to keep the legacy alive, is back in town on a break from his perfectly titled legal drama, Handsome Justice, to shoot an episode of the Christmas Light Fight-ish reality show Deck Those Halls. But when his competitor drops out of the production, it’s decided that Brandon would make the perfect replacement, seeing as how he’s both adorable and staying in the house next door. Before you can say “sibling rivalry,” the Claus, er, claws are out and the guys are driving their loved ones nuts with their over-the-top plans to take the prize.
(2020 TV Movie)
And I have to remember, the Christmas House took like 15 years, it got to its apex. He’s perhaps best known among Hallmark fans for his role as Mick O’Brien on Chesapeake Shores. “He was the biggest ally, cheerleader and inspiration of what being a father, actor and person to have in this life. He played a dad to so many people over the years, what an incredible gift we got to get Treat!

Where Was ‘The Christmas House 2’ Filmed? See Locations & Cast Stories
You may recognize Treat Williams from shows like ‘Chesapeake Shore’, ‘Chicago Fire’, and ‘American Odyssey’. Robert Buckley (‘iZombie’, ‘One Tree Hill’) plays one of the Mitchel brothers, Mike, who has lost his dream job and is currently unemployed. His character connects with his high-school crush and neighbor Andi (Ana Ayora of ‘Captain Marvel’). ‘Mean Girls’ star Jonathan Bennett plays the other Mitchel brother Brandon who, along with husband Jake (Brad Harder of ‘Aurora Teagarden Mysteries’), is stressed about the adoption of their first child. Bennett’s prolific acting background includes Snow Falls, Love on Repeat, Christmas Made to Order, Awkward (where he played Ethan), Hit the Floor, A Christmas Kiss II, Mean Girls, A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale, and more. He starred in two episodes of All My Children back in 2001 and 2002 and was in two episodes of Veronica Mars in 2004 at the beginning of his career.
Actor Treat Williams died on June 12 at the age of 71 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident near his home in Vermont, as first reported by People. He was a prolific actor, including starring in many movies and the TV series “Chesapeake Shores” for the Hallmark Channel. That is a family of four in slightly less than two months. It was insanity, this thing was nuts, but we loved it.
“The Christmas House” re-airs on Friday, June 16 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on the Hallmark Channel. Williams is survived by his wife Pam Van Sant and their two children, Gille and Ellie. Ellie wrote a couple of emotional tributes to her father this week.
Sequel
One of the locations was Victoria, according to a tag in a sweet Instagram post that Bennett shared about the movie. There is also the option of going meta, where they make a TV movie about Mike’s family and their Christmas House. That way, you can cast the fake TV versions of you, Jonathan Bennett, Treat Williams, and Sharon Lawrence. There is nothing better than Christmas for kids. And now that Mike is officially with Andi (Ana Ayora), it might be time to expand the family.

Robert Buckley on Having ‘More Fun’ in Hallmark’s ‘Christmas House’ Sequel
Bennett is happily engaged to Jaymes Vaughan of “The Amazing Race.” In April, he shared the honor of being the first gay couple on the cover of The Knot. Today in BC reported that part of the movie was filmed in Sidney in mid-September, including turning Beacon Avenue into a snow-filled winter landscape. Bennett said Buckley wrote the script and came up with the idea because it was based on his real-life family. ET Canada reported that the movie was also filmed in Vancouver.
My love goes out to everyone that was lucky enough to have had Treat in your life. It’s funny because we did this until about up until high school. And then we sort of hit a burnout point and it was just time.
The Christmas House is a made-for-television film produced for the Hallmark Channel. A Christmas-themed comedy-drama, it was directed by Michael Grossman. It features an ensemble cast, including Sharon Lawrence and Treat Williams as a wife and husband who invite their two adult sons (played by Robert Buckley and Jonathan Bennett) to come back home for Christmas and recreate a past family tradition. I have never met someone like Treat, being around him is like lightning in a bottle. All he wanted to do is make you laugh and entertain you, he’s was the definition of a showman.
Bennett’s prolific acting background includes “Snow Falls,” “Love on Repeat,” “Christmas Made to Order,” “Awkward” (Ethan), “Hit the Floor,” “A Christmas Kiss II,” “Mean Girls,” “A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale,” and more. He starred in two episodes of “All My Children” back in 2001 and 2002 and was in two episodes of “Veronica Mars” in 2004 at the beginning of his career. Her many previous credits include In the Dark (Sarah Barnes), Captain Marvel (Agent Whitcher), Major Crimes, Banshee (Nina Cruz), Chop Shop (Sofia), Redeemed, Castle, Phoenix Falling, Marley & Me, and more. The Hallmark Channel premiered a new Christmas movie on Sunday, November 22, called The Christmas House. This movie featured Hallmark’s first LGBTQ storyline involving one of the main characters.
So we stopped doing it…we’d still do a tree and like, what would be normal. Just not a Texas-sized decoration show. And now, my wife Jenny and I just got our first home and so I was out shopping for lights and inflatable lawn decorations and it was interesting. It was super-cool because here I am, starting my own family’s tradition, but I also found myself in the shadow of what we used to do. I had a moment after finishing my yard and looking at it, thinking “This is pretty awesome” and simultaneously going, “This is terrible! ” [Laughs] I have a tasteful amount of lights, a tree… it’s a perfect beginning.
In his loving memory, tune in for a special presentation of ‘The Christmas House’ on Friday, June 16 at 8/7c ❤️,” reads the announcement. All of the local elementary schools would take field trips to our house. We were known as the Christmas House, which is how all of this got started. And actually, we were entirely an indoor house [of decorations]…we had neighbors down the street who did the outside of their house.
We pitched the idea of what we thought the movie would be to Hallmark and once it got greenlit, she ran with it. You and Jonathan didn’t share a ton of screen time together in the first movie. They had a lot of fun on set, including this video he shared after Buckley lost a bet. Here’s another behind-the-scenes photo that Bennett shared while they were filming in September. He’s perhaps best known for his role as Officer Heard on Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. He’s also appeared in The Twilight Zone, The Magicians, No Tomorrow, A Christmas Miracle, and more.
