Actor Colin Egglesfield has fans buzzing after he posted a festive hint about a holiday-style summer gathering. In an Instagram update on June 10, the 50-year-old star shared a sunny snapshot and captioned it: “Are you ready for the Jolliest summer event?!?! 💚♥️💚♥️💚.” The playful tease has ignited excitement for what promises to be an off-season Christmas in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Colin Egglesfield Brings Christmas To Summer

Egglesfield’s latest post features him standing beneath a canopy of green foliage, sporting a casual tee and holding a glass of lemonade. The photo’s bright hues and his signature grin underscore the unexpected holiday twist: a Christmas-themed celebration under the summer sun.

It’s not the actor’s first brush with yuletide fun. On April 5, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Instagram account announced, “We’re thrilled to welcome @colinegglesfield to Christmas in a Small Town this July 25–27 in Dahlonega, GA! ✨ Let the countdown to Christmas in a small town begin… ❤️💚” That event, tied to the network’s holiday film of the same name, invites fans to enjoy holiday markets, photo opportunities, meet-and-greets, and behind-the-scenes panels with the cast.

Actor’s Holly-jolly Invite

“Christmas in a Small Town” originally debuted as a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie starring Colin Egglesfield and Alicia Witt. The film follows a celebrated romance novelist who returns to her rural hometown, only to discover that love might have been right under her nose all along. Dahlonega’s summer edition expands that storyline into an immersive fan experience, complete with holiday décor, live music, and themed culinary treats.

For Egglesfield—known for his roles on All My Children, Melrose Place and the drama series Mistresses—the festival marks an opportunity to connect directly with fans beyond the screen. He’s spent the last two decades transitioning from modeling in Milan to becoming a familiar face on both daytime and prime-time television. In addition to his TV resume, his film credits include 13 Going on 30, Something Borrowed and Body of Proof.

“Bringing that coziness of Christmas to mid-summer was such a fun challenge,” Egglesfield told Hallmark in a recent interview. “You get all the warmth of the holidays with sunshine, ice-cold drinks and Georgia peaches.”

Outside of acting, Egglesfield has channeled his life experiences into motivational speaking and podcasting. His Beyond Impact Method™ helps entrepreneurs craft compelling stage presences—though this July, it will be all about pop-up wreath workshops and carol-inspired cocktails.

Tickets for the summer “Christmas in a Small Town” festival go on sale June 20. Passes include a brunch with the stars, a holiday movie screening, and exclusive festival swag. Attendees can also book a Q&A session with Egglesfield to talk acting, writing and tips for creating your own holiday spirit year-round.

Fans on social media are already speculating about surprise guests and themed activities. One Instagram follower asked, “Will there be reindeer?” while another joked, “Can we have snow cones instead of snow?” Egglesfield replied with a wink emoji, fueling more anticipation.

With less than two months to go, the actor’s green-and-red tease has become the summer’s most sought-after invite. As the countdown begins, one thing is clear: Colin Egglesfield is ready to turn July into a merry December.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Hallmark’s holiday universe, get your ugly sweaters ready—this isn’t your average summer festival.
