The Hallmark Channel has just announced the addition of twelve country music icons to the star-studded cast of their upcoming holiday film, A Grand Ole Opry Christmas. Bill Anderson, Rhett Akins, Megan Moroney, Jamey Johnson, Drew Baldridge, Maggie Baugh, Suzy Bogguss, Mickey Guyton, Pam Tillis, Dailey & Vincent, Riders in the Sky, and Tigirlily Gold will all make special guest appearances in the film, joining previously announced country superstar Brad Paisley, who also wrote and performs original music for the movie, and will also provide the Hallmark “Countdown to Christmas” campaign anthem. “The Hallmark Channel to me is a major part of finding the joy and the spirit of the holidays,” Paisley said. “I loved the challenge of creating that same magic with this music.” A Grand Ole Opry Christmas will premiere during Hallmark’s 16th annual “Countdown to Christmas” holiday event, and stars fan-favorite actors Nikki DeLoach and Kristoffer Polaha.
