Development Executive Auna Kemp at Hallmark posted a series of reels on her Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes videos and pictures straight from Vancouver.
Back in mid-September, fans like Twitter user @PinkSunsetxo were very excited about the movie coming soon for Christmas.
“I have the BIGGEST news ever!!” they wrote. “Hallmarks Three Wise Men And A Baby started filming today & TYLER HYNES & ANDREW WALKER are starring in the movie & I’m pretty positive PAUL CAMPBELL is the 3rd wise man!!! There are plenty of clues & confirmation that this is really happening!!🎄🌟”
Another user on Instagram posted “#tylertuesday what could be finer than seeing these bts.”
WGN9 reported that “Hallmark Christmas Movies may look a bit different this year,” and showed a video of the main actors, describing them as the HOH (Hunks of Hallmark).
This is the original video they used in their report:
The Baby in the Movie Is Played by Twin Girls
In an Instagram post, Steph Jensen from Chilliwack, British Columbia, reveals that the little boy in the movie is actually played by twin girls!
“Some behind-the-scenes pics of the movie *Three Wise Men & a Baby* Katie & Kallie are starring in!” Jensen wrote. “We had the best time filming with these guys! Thanks for making the experience so memorable!”
Hynes replied, “😍.”
At the time of filming, the twins were 8 months old.
The Cast Shared Fun Behind-the-Scenes Moments

“After spending 15 glorious days with these two I now may live to 140…” Walker wrote.
Campbell posted a video about a series of pictures on set, commenting, “One. More. Week.”
In an interview with The List, the stars were asked: “What do you think fans who don’t typically watch Christmas movies will love about this?”
They had some really funny responses. Campbell first replied, “Andrew shirtless.” To which Hynes added: “Andrew shirtless. I second that opinion.”
Walker replied, “Well, I don’t know. I don’t know if that…”
Hynes then jokingly said to Walker: ‘You say, ‘Andrew shirtless,’ too. Say it too. Say, ‘Andrew shirtless.'”
Walker said he couldn’t, to which Campbell then joked: “You know what they’re going to like.” Hynes added: “Unanimous decision. Andrew shirtless.”
These three seemed like the perfect trio to work together!
Campbell added, “It’s a rom-com about a family falling back into love. And we have an adorable baby. So if you’re a fan of babies, you’re going to like this movie.”
In an interview with Southern Living, Hynes commented about how great the environment was on set.
“We all know each other because we’re so comfortable, we’re such fans of each other as artists and as human beings,” he said. “It makes the efficiency and the collaboration of these moments for these characters that much more enjoyable and I think that much more fruitful. A lot of gems came out of the fact that we all just care about each other and really want to do this.”
Margaret Colin also posted a behind-the-scenes on Instagram during filming:

Hallmark
Hallmark’s synopsis of the movie reads:
Luke Brenner (Walker) is Mr. Perfect – an all-star firefighter and poster boy for physical health and clean living. But when he finds a baby on the doorstep of the firehall with a note asking him to care for it until Christmas, he’s uncharacteristically at a loss. Unfortunately, his mom Barbara (Colin) has to go out of town to attend to her sister’s medical emergency leaving Luke with no other choice but to rely on his brothers for help until she returns – Taylor (Hynes), an opinionated video game designer who recently lost his job, and Stephan (Campbell), a pet therapist with severe social anxiety. It’s one mishap after another as the brothers take turns trying to care for the baby individually, and they soon discover the only way to survive the week is to work together as a team – something they haven’t done since they were children. As they slowly get the hang of things, they find themselves on unexpected journeys of self-discovery and begin to rebuild their relationships as brothers, as well as repair damaged romantic and professional relationships in their respective lives…all while rediscovering their love of Christmas.

According to his bio, he was born in Canada and received his first big break when he was cast as a regular in the TV series “Battlestar Galactica” on Syfy. “Christmas at Castle Hart,” “An Unexpected Christmas,” and “Moriah’s Lighthouse” are just three of the titles that can be found on the growing list of writing credits that Campbell has accumulated for Hallmark Channel.

Love all of the Hallmark movies—except I have trouble understanding their speech at time—diction and speaking more slowly would improve this. Keep up the fantastic stories— I like happy endings .
