Hallmark Channel is taking over the Grand Ole Opry on Wednesday.

The day starts with a free Opry Plaza event with Hallmark stars Jonathan Bennett, Lacey Chabert and Nikki DeLoach, who's the leading lady in the new A Grand Ole Opry Christmas movie. 

The Opry: Hallmark Takeover continues that evening, as the artists featured in the film play the legendary stage — Rhett Akins, Maggie Baugh, Drew Baldridge, Tigirlily Gold, Mickey Guyton, Bill Anderson, T. Graham Brown and Gary Mule Deer among them.

A Grand Ole Opry Christmas is set to air during this year's 16th annual Countdown to Christmas on Hallmark Channel.
