This is the first time the event will take place in the Midwest in the home base of Hallmark. Hallmark has become one of the top spots to binge new lighthearted Christmas films each year, with many of them airing almost year-round, not just in December.

Convention founders Christina Figliolia and Liliana Kligman said about the upcoming event, “We have constantly been asked to bring Christmas Con to the Midwest and what better place to host a Christmas convention than the birthplace of Hallmark, Kansas City. All of us are truly excited to come share the Christmas spirit this June.”
