Filming Hallmark Channel‘s new holiday movie A Danish Christmas was a family affair for stars Emilie Ullerup and Corey Sevier.
Ullerup was so thrilled for the chance to film and executive produce her first Hallmark movie in her native Denmark, she couldn’t pass up the chance to include many of her family members in the cast. Sevier, meanwhile, brought his wife and kids to Copenhagen to experience the magic of Christmastime there last December.
“My mom has a speaking line, and I think I look exactly like her, so I’m gonna let people find her,” Ullerup exclusively told Parade before the movie’s premiere on Sunday, November 1. “And then my cousin, who opens up the movie, plays my HR boss. She doesn’t have any lines, but you’ll see her. I have my cousin’s son in it, my sisters are in it, and my nephew is in it. He walks the Santa Lucia walk — you’ll know when you see it. Anywhere I could pepper (my family) in, they were there.”
Ullerup’s husband, Kyle Cassie, also has a significant role, providing fans with a fun onscreen reunion for the Hallmark couple. When Ullerup was starring as Bree O’Brien on Hallmark’s hit series “Chesapeake Shores,” Cassie had a guest starring role as her ex-boyfriend, Martin Demming, late in the first season and early in the second.
The beloved actress told Parade of her family’s involvement, “They were all so excited. I got to do this and be home for two months and, like, live there with them. I think they were all just like, ‘We’re proud of our country’ and they were just happy to be there, happy to support. … Everyone was just like, ‘I want to help! I want to make this the best it can be.'”

Meanwhile, Sevier marveled to Parade about the chance to spend his first time in Denmark with his wife, Hallmark screenwriter Kate Pragnell, and their kids, who were two and seven at the time.
“It was the first time we’d ever traveled to Europe (as a family) and it was just magical,” he beamed. “It really was. And I was worried about it, wondering how the kids were going to react, and they still talk about it. It’s a core memory, for sure.”
Among the highlights, he said, were the amazing pastries (they stopped at a different bakery every day!) and a visit to the famed Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park.
“I came into it as an actor and a character never having been there,” Sevier said, “and it was so incredible. Some of the kindest people in the world. They say it’s one of the happiest places in the world and I really felt that. If you get the opportunity, any time of year would be absolutely stunning, but if you’re a big Christmas person, it really just knocks your socks off.”
In “A Danish Christmas,” Ullerup plays Marie, a Chicago executive who returns home to Copenhagen for the holidays with her family. When she learns their quaint inn is on the verge of closing due to a downturn in customers, Marie gets to work and accidentally mistakes one guest named Ryan Miller (Sevier) for a travel writer with the same name, and gives him an incredible experience touring the city — until the travel writer actually shows up, too.
Hallmark Channel’s “A Danish Christmas” premieres on November 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and will be available to stream via Hallmark+ the next day.
