BERLIN, Md. \u2014 The Town of Berlin has been named one of the top 25 finalists in Hallmark Channel\u2019s Merriest Christmas Towns Contest, giving the Worcester County community a chance to become the backdrop for a future holiday movie.<\/p>\n

Mayor Zack Tyndall is encouraging residents and supporters to vote for Berlin as part of Hallmark Channel\u2019s Countdown to Christmas celebration.<\/p>\n

Berlin\u2019s historic downtown, small-town charm and festive atmosphere make it a natural fit for a Hallmark Christmas movie, according to Tyndall. The town also has a connection to the holiday season through Berlin musician Jimmy Charles, who wrote a Christmas song that could provide a soundtrack for the town\u2019s Hallmark campaign.<\/p>\n

Hallmark Channel plans to use the winning town as the backdrop for an upcoming holiday movie.<\/p>\n

Residents and supporters can vote for Berlin through the Hallmark Channel\u2019s Merriest Christmas Towns Contest. Each person can vote once per day through Sept. 4.<\/a><\/p>\n

The contest provides Berlin with an opportunity to showcase its historic streets, locally owned businesses and Christmas spirit to a national audience while competing for the chance to see the town featured in a Hallmark holiday production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BERLIN, Md. \u2014 The Town of Berlin has been named one of the top 25 finalists in Hallmark…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146657,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[112,2766,4378,4377,190,69725,69726,69727,34804,69724],"class_list":["post-146656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-berlin","tag-christmas","tag-coasttv","tag-coasttv-news","tag-germany","tag-hallmark-channel","tag-hallmark-channels-merriest-christmas-towns-contest","tag-holiday-contest","tag-mayor-zack-tyndall","tag-wrde-coasttv-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/117102776630918171","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
