After his time on Pretty Little Liars came to an end in 2016, Brant Daugherty found success on the Hallmark Channel. His journey with the network started with the popular Christmas movie, Mingle All the Way, which premiered in 2018. Since then, he has been the lead in various romantic comedies for Hallmark and has also appeared in two festive films, including Joyeux Noel in 2023.
In his latest uplifting movie, Daugherty, aged 38, takes on the role of Mark, an experienced journalist who teams up with copy editor Lea (played by Jaicy Elliot) to uncover the hidden love story behind the Mon Fleur painting in a charming French village. As they dive into the legend, their journey leads them to a magical Christmas market, and possibly a happily ever after of their own.
Throughout his career, Daughtery has fully embraced the heartwarming style of Hallmark films, appreciating the inclusive characters and captivating stories they portray. "I wholeheartedly support everything they have been doing," he shared exclusively with We magazine in October 2022. "I recently became a father, and I constantly consider the content I contribute to the world and what my son can watch... These films are ones that I feel completely at ease sharing with him, and that's something truly special."
Joyeux Noel airs on Hallmark Channel Sunday, October 29, at 8 p.m. ET.
