Call The Party Planning Committee, The Office's Angela Kinsey Is Now Joining The Hallmark Christmas Family

As a long-time fan who’s spent countless hours binge-watching The Office, I can hardly contain my excitement for Angela Kinsey‘s upcoming venture into Hallmark’s Christmas movie realm! From her iconic role as Angela Martin at Dunder Mifflin to her current podcast with fellow Office alum Jenna Fischer, it seems that the world of Scranton, Pennsylvania will always have a special place in her heart.


As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about Angela Kinsey’s upcoming venture. Despite her legendary run for nine seasons and nearly 200 episodes on The Office (currently streaming on Peacock), she’s stepping into the enchanting world of Hallmark this year. Get ready to embrace this beloved sitcom star in the heartwarming realm of Hallmark holidays, scheduled later in 2024. Whether there’s a party planning committee like Dunder Mifflin or not, it promises to be a magical experience!

This fall, you can catch Angela Kinsey in the popular Hallmark “Countdown To Christmastown” series, where she’ll play Settie Rose in the movie “Confessions of a Christmas Letter.” Settie is a matriarch who competes in her town’s annual holiday letter-writing contest. She enlists the help of struggling novelist Juan (Alec Santos) to write a winning entry, leading to various antics and gossip. With its heartwarming storyline, “Confessions of a Christmas Letter” promises to be another delightful Hallmark production.

Hallmark Channel celebrated the casting on Instagram, not only alluding to Angela Kinsey’s The Office alter ego working for Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, but also revealing another Office cast member who will turn up:

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Angela Kinsey, once known for peddling papers, will now grace our screens in “Confessions of a Christmas Letter” as part of the Countdown to Christmas lineup. Plus, get ready to spot Alec Santos and even Brian Baumgartner adding their charm to this festive production!

Brian Baumgartner played Kevin on The Office, and will apparently have a part to play in Confessions of a Christmas Letter this fall as well. Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas begins on Friday, October 18. A precise premiere date for the movie has not yet been announced at the time of writing, but Angela Kinsey posted on Instagram to celebrate finally being able to publicly reveal her Hallmark gig:

I can hardly contain my excitement to announce this! I’ve been given the main role in a Christmas film airing on the Hallmark Channel! Ah, what joy!

Angela Kinsey, unlike Lacey Chabert, hasn’t starred in as many Hallmark movies, but she’s stepping into the spotlight with “Confessions of a Christmas Letter“. However, die-hard fans of “The Office” might not find any references to Kinsey’s character Angela Martin’s time on the show’s party planning committee hidden in this upcoming Hallmark film. Catch a glimpse of Kinsey at work as Angela Martin here:

As a devoted fan myself, I must say that despite Angela Kinsey’s journey into new roles post-“The Office,” it’s evident that the show remains incredibly special to her. She and her cherished co-star, Jenna Fischer, are currently hosting a rewatch podcast titled “Office Ladies.” For those of us eagerly waiting for Kinsey’s upcoming “Countdown to Christmas,” diving into the podcast offers a delightful interlude. You can also revisit all nine seasons of “The Office” streaming on Peacock in the meantime!
