Backstage at a CMT Awards show a few years back, actor Luke Owens said that Blake Shelton himself looked like a movie star.  While Blake's done voice-acting in the  Angry Birds movie, "movie star" may not be in the cards for Shelton. However, movie producing might be his thing.

Entertainment Tonight reports that Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' upcoming Blake Shelton-produced holiday film, Time for You to Come Home for Christmas, will star Alison Sweeney and Marvel's Agents of SHIELD star Lucas Bryant will play Sweeney's love interest.

The new movie is a sequel to last year's Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas, which starred Josh Henderson and Megan Park, and was based on Shelton's 2012 song, "Time for Me to Come Home," which he wrote and recorded with his mother, Dorothy Shackleford. She also published a novella of the same name in 2013.

Time for You to Come Home for Christmas, part of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' "Miracles of Christmas," premieres Friday, December 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
