Blake Shelton is opening up about the origin of the Time To Come Home For Christmas movie series on Hallmark Channel.
Inspired by his song, “Time for Me to Come Home”, the television movie series now has five flicks in it, with the latest that just debuted tonight.
In a previous interview, Blake opened up about how it all got started.
While chatting on From Apple Music With Love, he explained that he actually asked his mother, Dorothy Shackleford, to co-write a few tracks for his 2012 Cheers, It’s Christmas album.
“When I was making my Christmas album, I said, ‘Mom, let’s me and you write a song together, and you can sing it with me on my album. And there’s your Lucille Ball moment. You can finally have your moment to be famous.’”
He then added that he never expected that song to inspire so many Hallmark movies, or turn into something bigger for Dorothy.
“We had no idea it was going to end up turning into a book deal for my mom,” he shared. “Then from the book, it became basically this series of movies. It’s amazing what they’re able to do over there, but it’s been a cool experience to have that with my mom.”
Blake is an executive producer on them all.
