In an interview with People, Pat Monahan opened up about how his Christmas music went from album to movie in 2021, explaining that his management team came up with the idea a few years after the record’s release. “They actually went to Hallmark right away because Hallmark rules Christmas,” the singer said, adding that the project was a long time coming.
“It’s just taken a long time, but [Hallmark is] so dialed in on how to do this that it just came together. And when it did come together, then it was fast,” Monahan explained, which makes sense with what we know about how long it takes to actually film a Hallmark movie. “It was four years of waiting and then six months of, ‘Okay, here’s the script. Let’s go.'”
The Train front man went on to add that “Christmas in Tahoe” differed from many classic Hallmark flicks because of its focus on music and its targeting of a slightly younger audience. Though it was a challenge for the channel, Monahan adds that he thinks the flick did a great job of incorporating more music while capturing the holiday spirit.
