Hosted by That's 4 Entertainment, the event will take place on December 5, 6, 12 and 13 and will include panel discussions with numerous Hallmark Channel and Lifetime holiday movie stars, as well as personalized experiences such as one-on-one video chats, pre-recorded videos and autographs from the stars that can be purchased online.

Celebrity participants so far include Melissa Joan Hart, Joey Lawrence, Andrew Walker, Will Kemp, Jonathan Bennett, Autumn Reeser, Cindy Busby, Ashley Williams, Erin Cahill, Drew Seeley, Jen Lilley and Kristoffer Polaha.

Fans can also meet Santa Claus virtually during the event.

“Santa is coming to town… virtually! With Santa spending more time at the North Pole this year, Santa isn't coming to him with your wish lists, he's coming to you!” reads a post on the event's Instagram page. “Kids and adults around the world can tell Santa their Christmas wishes without ever leaving their homes.”

This year, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Christmas Con tickets will go to the nonprofit organization Toys For Tots, which collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes them to needy children at Christmas.

“We are thrilled to partner with Toys For Tots and donate a portion of the proceeds to help children have a better holiday season this year. Now more than ever, it's important to help,” Liliana Kligman and Christina Figliolia, two of the event's founders, said in a statement.
