Out actor Jonathan Bennett will star in Hallmark's first gay holiday film.
The network said that The Christmas House revolves around a gay couple trying to adopt their first child while also heading home to visit family.
Brad Harder has been cast to play Bennett's husband.
Rounding out the cast are Robert Buckley (One Tree Hill), Ana Ayora (In the Dark), Treat Williams (Everwood), and Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue).
