Time travel is a common theme in Hallmark Christmas movies and this year’s film featuring it is A Newport Christmas!
Wes Brown and Ginna Claire Mason star in the new movie, which debuts TONIGHT (November 2) at 8pm as part of the Countdown to Christmas.
Ginna Claire plays Ella, a young woman in 1905 Newport who learns her father wants her to marry a stranger, so she makes a wish on a comet and suddenly finds herself in 2025. There, she meets Nick (Brown), a sailor who says her boat belongs to him. As Ella explores the modern world and grows close to Nick, she realizes she must return to her own time to protect her legacy, though what she finds waiting for her back home is more surprising than what she found in the future.
“It’s this magical mix of history, fantasy and sci-fi. Reading the script my mind was sort of blown!” Ginna Claire told Southern Living.

Wes opened up about getting to star in a time travel movie.
“It feels very special, and this year the honors went to myself and Miss Ginna Claire, and that’s not to be taken lightly,” he said. “So you have the heaviness of that, but then you also have this lightness of now we get to play with this and make it come to life… It was just a blast seeing words on a page, get put into orbit with the comet, literally and figuratively. It was a very special movie to make.”
Ginna Claire added, “With time travel, you can go in so many different directions, but I feel like the special effects are their own character… I think it’s sort of risky, edge of your seat, sort of storytelling. It was so exciting to be part of it.”
The co-stars have recorded a new song that is inspired by the story!
