(Toronto) – Dec. 21, 2023 – ‘Tis the season for holiday movies, especially Hallmark Channel’s ever-popular Countdown to Christmas series of original holiday films. In true spirit, the growers of Envy™ apples last week brought the holiday magic to life by collaborating with Hallmark Channel actor and entrepreneur Andrew Walker for the ultimate apple sampling experience at Longo’s in Toronto.
For four delightful hours on Monday, Dec. 11, Walker joined Envy™ at Longo’s in Maple Leaf Square to hand out Envy™ apple samples, sign autographs and join in selfies with fans. The Envy™ team also passed out free swag items to shoppers.
The appearance was part of an ongoing multimedia collaboration Envy™ apples is conducting with Hallmark Channel as well as Walker this holiday season including digital billboards across Toronto as well as digital and social promotions throughout North America.
Countdown to Christmas fans are also being treated to a special appearance from Envy™ apples in Hallmark’s hit Christmas film, “Three Wise Men and a Baby”. In the film, Walker as Luke Brenner along with his two brothers Taylor and Stephan get the surprise of their lives when they are brought together to care for a baby over the holidays. Envy™ apples appear in a key scene in Walker’s character’s kitchen.
