Has Sparks Acted in Movies Before This?

A Christmas Treasure isn’t Jordin Sparks’ first acting experience. Most notably, she starred in the 2012 movie Sparkle, about sisters who form a girl group in the 1960s. She also appeared in an episode of CSI, as well as the movies The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete and Left Behind.


This is Sparks’ first Hallmark movie, but it’s not her first Christmas movie. She co-starred in the 2013 Lifetime holiday film Dear Secret Santa, along with Tatyana Ali, Bill Cobbs, and Ernie Hudson.

Fellow American Idol alum Lauren Alaina also recently starred in a Hallmark movie. The singer appeared as Callie in the recent release Roadhouse Romance.

You can watch Sparks in A Christmas Treasure this Sunday, November 7, at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel, as part of the network’s Countdown to Christmas.
