His latest reality series,Ready, Set, Glow!on Hallmark+, created a seamless transition.

So, tell us about the process and how different is it doing scripted versus unscripted for you?

I didn’t know if I was going to be good at it.

Celebrations Interview: Lacey Chabert

I’ll leave that up to the audience.

But the idea came to me about a year before we went into production.

I was excited a little bit nervous as well.

Tamera Mowry Housley New Hallmark Christmas Movie Scouting for Christmas

We experienced lots and lots of those.

Andits just a story about the people behind all the decorations.

It’s high energy, it’s high paced.

You’ll you might have some tears.

So, it turned out really nice.

We’re proud of it.

Lacey Chabert is giving well-deserved heroes the party of a lifetime with Hallmark’s new show.

We have television shows for the holiday season, which we didn’t have before.

And then we also have a few reality competition shows.

So how does it feel to be part of this inaugural change and expansion that they’re doing?

WES BROWN: It feels great.

I was there when a lot of this stuff that’s happening, I never thought it would happen.

Ready, Set, Glow!

So who’s to say what’s going to be next?

So, it’s been a blast watching this web link boom.

Ready, Set, Glow!

How wowed were you by some of the displays that you saw?

WES BROWN: I was amazed.

We came in from them building them.

Some of these folks start in like June.

Its crazy.The neatest thing is that when the cameras were off, nothing changed, nothing changed.

These people were still as passionate about it.

So nothing was for the cameras.

There was one farm that had 2.5 million lights.

There were some neighborhoods where as far as you might see every single house participated.

So if you see something in Baltimore and Philadelphia, Jersey, Connecticut, New York.

Maybe we’ve never heard of [the town before].

The wow factor is definitely there.

The ‘Scouting for Christmas’ actress plays a busy single mom looking for her own Christmas joy.

And I’ve realized that that’s something that’s becoming a bit more frequent around the country.

So what is your style for decorations?

Do you like colored lights?

Do you like things to be in theme or do you go all out?

Our style has kind of been based on the neighborhood, the house, stuff like that.

We live in the northeast now.

So it’s more of the white lights to match the snow.

But my last house, I lived in Los Angeles.

It was colored lights everywhere.

I Griswold it out and all the color lights, it was flashy.

That style doesnt exactly work where we are now.

Less is not more on this show.

More is more, and they continue to do more.

COLLIDER: So with it being the first season, what is your projection for next year?

Are we going to have this for years to come?

Is that your hope?

WES BROWN: Yes, I’m going to manifest.

I don’t have an official [greenlight for next season].

But I’m going to have a manifestation [that it happens].

I do hope so because it’s something that we can continue to so and go around the country.

So hopefully this show can do something like that.

So what keeps you at Hallmark and specifically within the Christmas holiday genre?

What about it do you love the most?

So it’s like, Who do you want to work with next?

COLLIDER: How many Hallmark projects have you counted that you’ve done or did you lose count?

WES BROWN: I think it’s 21.

It’s either 21 or 22.

I think someone told me I had surpassed 20.

WES BROWN: We’ll do 20 more.

Ready, Set Glow!can be streamed on Hallmark+ beginning in December.
