Kimberley Sustad Shares Holiday Joy and New Hallmark Movies

Kimberley Sustad, a beloved Hallmark actress, has had a bustling holiday season, showcasing her talents both in front of and behind the camera.

This year, she has been involved in two major Hallmark projects: writing and acting in *Three Wiser Men and a Boy* and starring in *The Santa Class* alongside Benjamin Ayres.

In an exclusive interview with Woman’s World, Sustad shared her experiences, the fan response, and what she looks forward to during the holiday season.

Kimberley Sustad’s Dual Role in *Three Wiser Men and a Boy*

Earlier in the holiday season, Kimberley Sustad took on a dual role in *Three Wiser Men and a Boy*, part of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas.

This film is a follow-up to the 2022 hit *Three Wise Men and a Baby*, where Sustad not only acted but also co-wrote the script with Paul Campbell.

The original film, featuring Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell, and Tyler Hynes, was a huge success, making the task of creating a sequel both exciting and challenging for Sustad.

The Challenge of Writing a Sequel

Sustad admitted that writing the follow-up film was no easy feat.

She initially thought the story had reached a satisfying conclusion and was surprised when asked to write a sequel.

*We anticipated just kind of doing the first and leaving it and walking away because we had kind of rounded out that whole journey for everybody,* she shared.

However, the challenge of creating another hit under pressure was something she embraced, ultimately leading to another beloved holiday film.

The Chemistry of the Cast

One of the highlights of working on *Three Wiser Men and a Boy* was the chemistry between the cast members.

Sustad described her co-stars, Walker, Campbell, and Hynes, as being like brothers to her.

*They are like my brothers at this point. I love working with them,* she said.

The trio’s unique personalities and their ability to work seamlessly together made the filming process enjoyable and added to the film’s charm.

Starring in *The Santa Class*

Following the success of *Three Wiser Men and a Boy*, Sustad stars in another Hallmark Christmas film, *The Santa Class*.

Premiering on December 14, this cozy holiday flick features Sustad as Kate, the owner of a struggling school for Santas. She teams up with her colleague, played by Benjamin Ayres, to help a man who has lost his memory and might just be the real Santa Claus.

A Heartwarming Plot

The plot of *The Santa Class* is both heartwarming and entertaining.

Kate and her colleague discover a man with amnesia who they believe could be the real Santa.

They decide to put him through their Santa training program, hoping it will help him regain his memory.

Meanwhile, Kate faces competition from a rival Santa school, putting her already struggling establishment at risk of closing.

A Message of Self-Acceptance

The film carries a powerful message of self-acceptance.

*It’s a lot of fun to sort of take a collective group of people that don’t think they’re enough for anything and journey through a movie that in the end, find out that we don’t have to be anything else other than exactly who we are, and that that is enough,* Sustad revealed.

This uplifting theme is sure to resonate with viewers, making *The Santa Class* a must-watch this holiday season.

Kimberley Sustad’s Holiday Traditions

When she’s not busy working on Hallmark films, Sustad enjoys spending quality time with her loved ones during the holidays.

One of her favorite traditions is making her family play ridiculous games on Christmas Eve.

*I like making my family play ridiculous games on Christmas Eve, which they’re not really big game players, but one time a year on Christmas Eve they’ll do it,* she shared.

Fun and Games

Sustad’s Christmas Eve tradition involves getting her family to step out of their comfort zones and participate in fun activities like lip-syncing ridiculous songs and hosting a talent show.

*They all kind of get out of their little boxes of comfort that they’re in, and you play really stupid games, lip sync ridiculous songs and do a talent show,* she explained.

This tradition adds a touch of joy and laughter to her holiday celebrations.

Deserving a Joyful Celebration

With all the joy Kimberley Sustad has brought to her fans this holiday season, it’s clear that she deserves a perfect Christmas celebration of her own.

Don’t miss her in *The Santa Class*, premiering December 14 at 8/7c on Hallmark. This heartwarming film, along with her other holiday projects, showcases Sustad’s incredible talent and dedication to spreading holiday cheer.

In summary, Kimberley Sustad has had an eventful holiday season, contributing to Hallmark’s lineup with both *Three Wiser Men and a Boy* and *The Santa Class*. Her ability to juggle writing and acting, combined with her genuine love for her co-stars and holiday traditions, makes her a standout figure in the world of Hallmark Christmas films.
