Who Is Warren Christie? 5 Things About Hallmark’s ‘Holiday Road’ Star

Warren Christie is becoming one of Hallmark Channel’s go-to holiday stars after starring in three Christmas films in the past four years. Fans may not know that his network premiere actually dates back to 2008.

The 48-year-old actor first appeared on Hallmark in The Most Wonderful Time of the Year alongside Brooke Burns and Henry Winkler.

Years later, Christie starred in his second project for the network, 2014’s The Color Rain. It wasn’t until 2020 that he was back in action for another holiday film. Christie acted with Candace Cameron Bure in If I Only Had Christmas, which was a festive and modern spin on the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz.

Christie’s seasonal 2023 feature, Holiday Road, is just as imaginative as it focused on nine strangers, who after being stranded at the airport, take a road trip to get home to Denver in time for Christmas.
