‘Ice Sculpture Christmas’: Charming New Hallmark Holiday Movie Premieres Saturday Starring Rachel Boston And David Alpay

Ice Sculpture Christmas is a charming new holiday movie set to premiere on the Hallmark Channel this Saturday. Ice Sculpture Christmas is part of the Hallmark Channel’s countdown to Christmas. Last week, the movie Tis The Season For Love debuted on the Hallmark Channel. Ice Sculpture Christmas is written by Tracy Andreen and directed by David Mackay. It stars Rachel Boston as Callie Shaw and David Alpay as David Manning.

This holiday season Hallmark presents Ice Sculpture Christmas, a soothing and heartwarming movie that centers around Callie Shaw, an ice sculptor who dreams of starting a professional career as a chef. With her goals in mind, she sets off to work as a dishwasher with a top chef named Gloria, a woman whom she has admired for years. Together, Callie watches Gloria closely as a way of perfecting her own skills while receiving some much-needed mentoring from Gloria. Things heat up a bit when Callie bumps into David Manning, a man from her past who is now rich thanks to his financial investor father.

David Manning has a girlfriend but quickly turns his attention to Callie and encourages her to go after her dreams of becoming a chef. A perfect opportunity presents itself when Chef Gloria prepares for an upcoming ice sculpting competition, a competition that she has won every year for many years. David is able to convince Callie that this is her big chance to show Chef Gloria her skills and move up in the fierce culinary world. As David and Callie work together on their ice sculpture, a deep bond develops between them, causing David’s girlfriend to question his close relationship with Callie. Will David stop ice sculpting and get back to his real job? Or will the strong feelings between David and Callie begin to heat up even more?
