On Nov. 9, Hallmark representatives filmed a Christmas special on the campus of Beauregard’s Providence Baptist Church for its “Project Christmas Joy” television special that aired yesterday evening.

Earlier this year, Hallmark announced it was funding the construction of homes for three Beauregard families to go along with the 15 built by the Chattahoochee Fuller Center.

The reveal of those homes, along with the lighting of a 26-foot-tall Christmas tree and other surprises for survivors and their families, were featured in the special.

“Our wish for this holiday special is to bring some hope, joy and love to this inspirational community that has gone through so much,” Hallmark officials wrote in a post on the company’s website.
