Actress Nikki DeLoach

“One of the stars of MTV’s “Awkward” for the past five seasons, Nikki DeLoach also starred in Fox’s “North Shore,” and has had recurring roles in the TV series “Days of Our Lives,” “Windfall” and “Misery Loves Company.” DeLoach starred in last year’s Hallmark Channel Original movie “Christmas Land,” and her other TV movies include “The Jury” and “A Golden Christmas 3.” She has guest-starred in episodes of numerous popular series as well, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Criminal Minds,” “Castle,” “Mad Men,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service,” among others.”

A Dream Of Christmas is one of those movies that will resonate with the audience since so many real-life married couples also wish that they had never gotten married. An article in the Daily Mail outlines some frightening statistics based on market research performed by OnePoll.

  • Out of the couples interviewed, a quarter of the couples wishes they had never walked down the aisle.
  • A third married for reasons other than love, such as having the ability to purchase a family home or to have children.
  • Twenty-three percent of married people regret marrying their current spouse. Some go a step further by wishing they had married a previous girlfriend or boyfriend.
  • About thirty-three percent dreamed of having the single life again with a slightly higher number being sexually dissatisfied with their current spouse.

How dreadful! And this is why Hallmark Channel is such a success. Their delightfully made movies carry the viewer away, making them wish and dream of a more exciting and enchanting life.

The Hallmark Channel’s A Dream Of Christmas, aka It’s A Wonderful Wife, was filmed in the U.S. and executive produced by Howard Brownstein and Gary Yates.

Find your coziest spot and curl up to A Dream Of Christmas this Saturday, December 3, at 8/7 p.m. Central on Hallmark Channel (HMC). During Hallmark Channel’s ‘Five-Night Thanksgiving Movie Event,’ Journey Back To Christmas premiered.
