In honor of that milestone, Crown Media Family Networks is launching its first ever national holiday, ADOPTION EVER AFTER DAY, on Sunday, February 16, 2020.

Landing him as a client would be a big feather in her cap and her chance to take the reins at the firm. While working with Daniel, who reluctantly agrees to be matched, Julia begins to develop feelings for him. Because he’s a client, however, she must stay professional and keep her feelings to herself while she helps him search for love. When she finds out that hers is the only heart he’s after, she must decide if she’s finally met her match.

‘THE SECRET INGREDIENT'
A Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere
Saturday, February 15, 9 p.m. ET/PT
Starring: Erin Cahill, Brendan Penny

Storyline via Hallmark: Bakery owner Kelly (Cahill) hasn’t thought about love since Andrew (Penny) ended their engagement for culinary school in Paris. Now he’s back, and so is their chemistry. Unfortunately, Kelly’s still hurt and won’t see Andrew before he leaves. But little does she know that when she’s selected as a contestant on the Valentine’s Day Bake-Off, Andrew is as well. In fact, none of the contestants will meet until the final show when only two are left. Win or lose, it’ll be sad when Andrew leaves for Paris since he and Kelly have finally discovered the secret ingredient of why he should stay – love.

Based on The Secret Ingredient by USA Today Bestselling author Nancy Naigle, it is the first-ever movie adaptation of a Hallmark Publishing original novel.

The audience instantly loves their charisma and, despite their initial dislike for one another, a romantic flame ignites. But when Terrie’s old boyfriend asks David to help him win Terrie back, explaining he got cold feet when she brought up marriage, David takes a step back, afraid Terrie may have already sold her heart.
