Rhiannon Fish leads the holiday season this year as the star of Hallmark Channel’s festive original movie The Christmas Cup, which premiered on Sunday 30 November 2025 as part of the network’s Countdown to Christmas lineup.
In The Christmas Cup, Rhiannon plays Staff Sergeant Kelly Brandt, a dedicated Marine whose knee injury forces her to return home for the holidays. Encouraged by her family to lead her hometown team in the annual Christmas Cup competition, Kelly finds renewed purpose both on and off the field, and sparks begin to fly with local Fire Captain Quinn Stokley (played by Ben Rosenbaum). The heart‑warmer blends small‑town charm, holiday spirit, and a story of community, resilience and second chances that fits perfectly within Hallmark’s celebrated seasonal slate.
The Christmas Cup is available on Hallmark Channel with streaming options following its broadcast, giving audiences worldwide a joyful holiday romance to enjoy throughout the season.
