Although The Young and the Restless fans would love to have Hunter back as Summer, that isn’t likely to happen, not just because Allison Lanier is in the role. Hunter has made a name for herself with Hallmark, especially regarding the network’s Christmas films.

This year, Hunter stars alongside Tyler in one of the most anticipated holiday movies of the season. They are headlining Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story premiere on Saturday, November 30, at 8/7c on Hallmark.
