We reached the end of this adventure, the two final episodes aired friday and the glamorous Delilah had some one great happy Christmas ending.
With caps and clips from the episodes, I take the occasion to wish you all good, healthy and happy holidays.
See you next year!

Two more episodes aired and this time, somehow, Mary was present in them both.
Enjoy the screencaps and video clips.

Our screencaptures appointment is tomorrow, but the preview stills one is today.
Episodes 5 and 6… and I lost it at Mary McDonnell on a bike. Yep!
If you heard a squeaky scream, that was me 100%

And here we are.
As announced on socials, the weekly caps for the show will be posted Sundays, to give time to people to watch the episodes.
This week they aired the first two episodes, but Mary was only briefly in the first one. Per her own words, she will be more present going forward.

Mary McDonnell is not afraid to admit that Hallmark is her kryptonite.

The Dances with Wolves star, 73, tells PEOPLE that she wasn’t always tuning into the Hallmark Channel around the holidays — “sometimes I would and sometimes not,” she says — but lately, that’s changed.

“In the last couple of years, I’ve just gotten completely addicted,” McDonnell admits from the Ireland set of Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas, the holiday series she stars in alongside Mae Whitman, Nathaniel Parker and Jane Seymour.

She recalls a phone call with her agent, Jonathan Power, who called in the middle of the afternoon one day in December.

“He said, ‘Are you busy? What are you doing?’ and I said, ‘Well, I am a little busy.’ He goes, ‘Well, what are you doing?’ and I said, ‘Well, I’m watching a Hallmark Christmas movie.’ He goes, ‘At 4:00 in the afternoon on a Wednesday?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, that’s all I’m doing right now.’ ”

The conversation then shifted focus, “because he loves them too,” she says, and when he asked whether she’d ever be interested in starring in one, her answer was: “Of course.”

A little preview for the 4th episode of “Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas”, titled ‘Tis the Season for Mama Drama.

Ohhhh it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, isn’t it?
First look at Mary McDonnell for Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas which airs on December 5, 2025.

Talented Saville Row textile pattern designer Kate lives in the quaint village of Blexford, England, next door to her father Mac, who is long-divorced from Kate’s mother Delilah, a globe-trotting American always on an adventure. When not at work, Kate looks after Mac, who’s recovering from a motorbike accident and is inclined to spend his days sitting in his recliner. Unbeknownst to Kate, her best friend Laura signs her up for The 12 Dates of Christmas – a holiday-themed matchmaking program in the days leading up to the holiday featuring carefully curated, yuletide dating experiences, in an attempt to get Kate out of her rut. Lovingly coerced by Laura and longtime best friend Callum, a reluctant Kate ultimately gets into the spirit of the program and is caught off guard when she meets someone who reinvigorates her zest for life. But when Delilah unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep – literally – Kate and Mac’s life and holiday season get upended. Meanwhile, Mac may be embarking on his own romance with local Evelyn, a widow who slowly helps him step outside the confines of his house and open his heart. As Kate wends her way through the 12 dates, she takes a circuitous route to romance while also making some important discoveries about herself. Starring Mae Whitman, Julian Morris, Toby Sandeman, Nathaniel Parker, Jane Seymour, Lucy Eaton and Mary McDonnell.
