What Hallmark Movies Are On Today? Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2021 Schedule
01/18/21 AT 8:01 AM
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is devoted to one of the biggest icons of the Civil Rights Movement, and in a day befitting of the honor the late Dr. King deserves, it is also a national holiday meaning many have off from work and school for an extra 24 hours.
Of course, with the COVID-19 pandemic still upsetting many elements of everyday life, the way the holiday is being celebrated might be different this year for those who usually use it to potentially catch up with loved ones and just enjoy a day free from their traditional obligations. For those in search of something heartwarming as they likely stay indoors though, Hallmark Channel is unveiling a full block of movie programming throughout the day that will be sure to keep the entertainment factor alive.

‘Taking a Shot at Love’ Hallmark Movie Star Alexa PenaVega Pregnant with 3rd Baby
The protagonist of the new Hallmark Channel movie
Taking a Shot at Love is former professional ballet dancer Jenna (
Alexa PenaVega). She makes her living teaching children ballet in a dance studio she rents in a small town. She’s asked to use her expertise to help professional ice hockey player Ryan (
Luke Macfarlane) get back on the ice after an injury. Sparks fly between the ballerina and the New York Rangers player on and off the ice.
It’s only been two months since Luke Macfarlane was on our screens in
Chateau Christmas, and this Saturday, he’s back to treat us again, in his first Winterfest entry since 2017’s
Taking a Shot at Love, the inaugural film in the rebranded “New Year, New Movies” quartet of premieres.
PenaVega is Jenna, a dance studio owner and ballet instructor who gains a surprising new student when her cousin, Terry (Kurt Long), a sports agent, sends Ryan “Coop” Cooper, one of his star athletes, to her as an unconventional means of rehab. A star hockey player, his light has been dimmed a bit by a nagging ankle injury that hasn’t quite healed. A former prima ballerina, Jenna healed from the same injury through ballet–and Terry has a light bulb moment that she can help Coop.
