Hallmark has a knack for bringing us Christmas specials, and this year they are bringing a little sizzle to your winter wonderland!
Hot and proud gay host Jonathan Bennett will be hosting Hallmark’s latest offering, ‘Finding Mr. Christmas,’ together with Melissa Peterman. The show will be bringing in “ten unknown talents together in one house” to find the next Hallmark leading man. The men will be tested to see if they have “all the Hallmark magic they need” to become the perfect leading man for Hallmark’s Christmas movies.
Bennett, a familiar face in Hallmark’s Christmas movies, knows exactly what it takes to be a leading man—
“A Hallmark leading man should have it all.”
But only one can claim the title of ‘Mr. Christmas.’
Meet the ten faces vying for the title of ‘Mr. Christmas!’

I don’t get it. Why does Jonathan want men, if all of them are straight? It’s illogical.
