Wanda Cannon is the kind of actress who fills out the edges of a Hallmark cast rather than top-billing it, and across six films from 2009 to 2020 she never carries the lead. Christmas is where you will mostly find her. Four of the six are holiday titles, and she leans toward the big-city version of the season rather than the small-town snow globe. Her best showings are early: Mrs. Miracle from 2009 and Surprised by Love from 2015 both land at 6.7, just nosing ahead of Christmas at the Plaza at 6.5. The work is steady and unshowy, with no fixed co-star she keeps returning to. If you watch enough of these, she is a familiar face you place before you place the name.
