Sure, much of the country is sweating under a heat dome right now, but not even high temperatures can dampen Hallmark Channel's holiday spirit. The network's reality-competition series *Finding Mr. Christmas* returns this fall, and ** has the exclusive first look at the 8 guest judges who will appear in season 2.

Hosted by Jonathan Bennett, *Finding Mr. Christmas* follows 10 handsome and wholesome men as they compete in acting and holiday-themed challenges in hopes of winning the grand prize: A lead role in a Hallmark Channel holiday movie. Last year's winner, Ezra Moreland, starred opposite Jessica Lowndes in the rom-com *Happy Howlidays*.

This season, Hallmark Channel staples including Alison Sweeney (*A Magical Christmas Village*), Janel Parrish (*Coyote Creek Christmas*), and *When Calls the Heart* star Erin Krakow will join Bennett and his co-host, *Haul Out the Holly*'s Melissa Peterman, as guest judges. See the full list — and 15 exclusive new images from the upcoming second season — below.
