Travel by plane, train, car – even travel through time

Holiday travel is a long-standing tradition among Hallmark characters and audiences. Whether it’s a carpool ride that ends in romance like in 2015 Christmas detouror take a cruise on a vacation like this in 2025 Keller’s Christmas VacationHallmark introduces you to all modes of transportation in their movies.

Not just train travel, but also flying – we’re looking forward to you in 2025 Christmas above the clouds – and climb a literal mountain on Christmas Eve – ahem, 2025 alpine holidaysAhem — Hallmark added time travel to his “Travel” category of holiday movies, and it has us excited.

Take 2025 as an example newport christmasFor example, the socialite Ella in the film (Gina Claire Mason) set out to sea in 1905 by ship (see, another form of transportation) and was magically transported to Rhode Island in the year 2025. There she fell in love with Nick (Wes Brown), she owns the same ship she’s on, but in the modern day. It’s pure magic that makes us want to sail, yes, travel through time.
