Danica McKellar Flaunts Killer Abs In Bikini Before ‘Christmas at Dollywood’

In the Hallmark Channel movie Christmas at Dollywood, Danica McKellar (Winnie on The Wonder Years) plays Rachel, an event planner in New York City. She leaves the Big Apple and returns home to Tennessee where she’s been hired to plan the big Christmas celebration at Dollywood, the family entertainment destination owned by country music icon Dolly Parton. [So many Hallmark movies, streaming here.]

When Rachel arrives in town, the handsome but hurt head of operations Luke (Niall Matter) — who thinks he can handle the party just fine on his own — does not welcome her with open arms. Don’t worry, that chip on his shoulder falls and yes they fall in love.

Magical!! 🥰🦋❤ That's the only way to describe working with Dolly Parton… she's everything you hope she's going to be and more… Generous, glamorous, kind and of course a total professional. But what might be the most astounding thing about her is her remarkable ability to make people feel wonderful about themselves… every person she encounters feels like a rockstar after just a moment or two of talking with her. She's magical and I can't wait for you to see her in this movie!!

In the post above, McKellar wrote that working with Dolly Parton was “MAGICAL.” Pop star Avril Lavigne replied, “Amazing dude!!!!” And actor Wil Wheaton (Stand by Me, Star Trek, The Big Bang Theory) wrote: “OMG YOU MET DOLLY PARTON OMG OMG.”

When not filming a Hallmark movie, McKellar is either working out or flaunting those killer abs in a bikini.

Check out the photos (above and below, make sure to swipe!) of her and her husband living it up at the legendary Hearst Castle!

Bucket list item… swimming in the Roman pool at Hearst Castle, thanks to our good friends @hardwick & @lydiahearst! 💕 Just one part of an incredible weekend, but especially poignant because of having visited this pool as a tourist about 25 years prior, admiring the tile mosaics and marble statues but never dreaming of getting to swim in it!! If you keep swiping, you'll see me *jumping* off the high ledge…! Then my husband & me eating figs, as one does at a Roman pool 😉, followed by a "headless husband" walking on the side of pool (showing off the incredible tiled floors), and eventually to a boomerang including @hardwick jumping for joy – one of the things I love about Chris & Lydia is a certain childlike enthusiasm (that I can certainly relate to!)… I will be posting more later this week, and I cannot emphasize enough how special this weekend has been and how grateful we are to our lovely hosts, Chris & Lydia, for including us! ❤ . . . #bucketlist #hearstcastle #gratitude #goodfriends #goodtimes

Oh hey there, Monday…🌞😘 . . . The Black Sands Beach this weekend was incredible – with every retreat of a lapping wave, the newly wetted black pebbles sparkled like diamonds, chasing each other back to the water with a sound I can only compare to rain smattering on a distant tin roof… I learned the ocean is incredibly unpredictable and dangerous (well, there were many such signs… see my instastories, haha) and I finally understood the need for multiple warnings. Its allure has stayed with me, days later, tempting me, if only in my mind, to chase those pebbles back into the shorebreak myself… . . . …a good reminder that temptation doesn't necessitate action. 😉 Want something that's bad for you, for any number of reasons? Really REALLY want it? Well… as I like to say to myself: "So what?" (I find that keeping it simple is best when talking to my brain. 😂) . . . Happy Monday! 🤗 . . . . #mondaymotivation #beach #prose #allure #desire #resist #temptation #resisttemptation #weekendvibes #relax #bikini #bikinigirl #photobymyhubby 📸
