    Ms. Christmas Comes to Town6.8

    Chris Gauthier is the kind of actor Hallmark keeps in the supporting bench rather than the marquee, and across seven films from 2012 to 2023 he never once takes top billing. That is not a knock. He's the guy who fills out the small town, the role that shows up in three of his Christmas titles, and he plays it warm and straight rather than for laughs. His ratings cluster comfortably around a 6.3 average, with his recent high point being Ms. Christmas Comes to Town from 2023 at 6.8, just ahead of Hitched for the Holidays and Christmas Cookies. He has no regular partner here, instead drifting through different casts a film at a time. If you watch enough holiday fare, you've seen his face and felt that small flicker of recognition without quite placing the name.
