Are ‘Christmas at the Catnip Cafe’ & ‘The Nine Lives of Christmas’ in the Same Universe?
Recurring actors and character crossovers in Hallmark’s holiday films suggest a shared universe, with key cameos linking stories, according to fan and media observations.
- On Sunday, November 30, Christmas at the Catnip Cafe premiered as part of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas and costars Erin Cahill, featuring Kimberley Sustad in a brief cat café cameo with Paul Campbell's Dr. Ben Kane.
- Hallmark, especially in recent years, favors cameos, with Kimberley Sustad and Paul Campbell frequently collaborating on projects like the Three Wise Men trilogy, enhancing cross-film nods.
- A line in Catnip Cafe mentions adding a fireman and a fireman at home, which aligns with Paul Campbell's prior silent firefighter cameo, suggesting Marilee and Zachary remain together if Sustad's character is Marilee.
- Fans quickly debated the cameo in the film's comments, asking if Kimberley Sustad was playing Marilee and whether to see another Marilee–Zachary movie after The Nine Kittens of Christmas reunited them.
- Brief, unnamed interactions in the café suggest ambiguity, as the unnamed character’s quick exit and cat-holding exchange with playful lines about cats and uniforms offer nods without conclusive proof.
