Country music sensation Kellie Pickler stars in Hallmark Channel’s original holiday film, Christmas At Graceland, premiering Saturday, Nov. 17, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The film was shot on location at the historic home of the late legend, Elvis Presley. The film is filled with music made famous by Elvis. Christmas At Graceland is part of the network’s #1-rated program event, Countdown to Christmas. In Christmas At Graceland, Laurel (Pickler), a Chicago-based business executive, travels to Memphis to secure one of the city’s oldest family-owned banks. While in Memphis, Laurel reunites with an old flame Clay (Wes Brown), a local music promoter with loftier aspirations. Though Laurel tries to keep her eye on the prize of the business acquisition, Clay is very persuasive reminding her of the days when they were a performing duo on the brink of stardom. Now Laurel’s focus turns to the home of the Blues and dreams of making music again. The film also stars Claire Elizabeth Green, Tamara Austin, Madison Alsobrook, Ned Vaughn and Tommy Cresswell.
