That’s4Entertainment’s giving Hallmarkies the greatest gift this Christmas movie season: Christmas Con 2019! The Hallmark Channel-sponsored event has a long list of celebrity guests, bringing many of the network’s biggest stars right to the fans — up close and personal.

Only a few weeks away now, Christmas Con 2019, which will take place at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, New Jersey, from Nov. 8-10, is sold out, but there are still ways to win free tickets, as well as buy resale passes.

Keep reading for all of the information about the festive event, from where to buy tickets and which celebrity Hallmark guests are attending to the panel schedule and more.

Are There Still Tickets Left For Christmas Con 2019?

The holiday event is sold out, and That’s4Entertainment revealed on Instagram that they will not be selling any more tickets. That said, fans have the chance to win two weekend passes, thanks to Rent-A-Christmas’ social media contest, which ends Oct. 31. All details can be found on their Instagram.

Another way to get into the convention is by buying passes through Lyte, a ticket resale service Christmas Con has partnered with to help those who still need tickets find them and those who no longer need tickets sell them.
