Canadian actor Christopher Russell chatted about starring in the Hallmark movies “A Costa Rican Wedding” and “Operation Nutcracker.”
‘A Costa Rican Wedding’
The synopsis of this rom-com is: A clumsy maid of honor gets help from her handsome nemesis when things go awry at her best friend’s Costa Rican wedding.
“This is my favorite Hallmark movie I’ve ever filmed,” he said. “I like it because it’s not your typical Hallmark movie. It’s more of a romance adventure comedy.”
“In this film, we are trapped in the jungle, and we have to find these rings; that’s it. Along the way, we find each other,” he said.

“We actually filmed it in Costa Rica in a real jungle in the hottest place on earth,” he said. “Working with Rhiannon Fish was great.”
“I call this movie ‘Chasing Waterfalls 3’,” he said with a sweet laugh. “The premiere will be on August 17th on the Hallmark Channel.”
‘Operation Nutcracker’
The synopsis of “Operation Nutcracker” is: When an antique nutcracker set to be auctioned at the Warby family Christmas charity goes missing, a demanding event planner and the heir to the Warby dynasty try to track it down.
“That movie was good,” he admitted. “That one was a lot of fun too. I loved working with the director David Weaver since he had a real fun way of going about it. He was really open to collaborating. Overall, it was so much fun making it.”
