*Part of Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Valentine's Day

At the family winery, Chloe (Chabert) is upset to hear her dad might sell out to a big firm after the Valentine's Festival. She goes out to "stress snack" and bonds with a cute guy over junk food, unaware he's Seth Anderson (Walker) the wine rep. They engage in heated but flirtatious banter until Chloe leaves to check the cabin, rundown since her mom died. But instead of finding an unhappy tenant, she sees a note he's left saying he'd like to help, signed Handyman. She thanks him, signing In Need of Repairs. Meanwhile, Seth tries to win Chloe over but mostly irritates her, until eventually the spark between them is undeniable. Still, it's Handyman who intrigues her and she suggests they meet. Walking into the Tavern together, Seth and Chloe still have no clue they're rendezvous is with each other until he figures it out, entertaining her, even when Handyman fails to show. The day of the festival, Chloe and Seth win a contest and seal their victory with a kiss. But their joy is short-lived when her dad admits he's decided to sell. Racing to the cabin to talk to Handyman, Chloe sees the torn contract, and realizes Seth was her secret crush all along.

TV personality, author and animal advocate Beth Stern hosts this year's event from Hallmark Channel Stadium. Stern embodies the spirit of adoption in her everyday life, having fostered countless animals in need.

Hallmark Channel's Dean Cain and Alison Sweeney, animal lovers and adoption advocates, provide commentary throughout the event, in addition to heartwarming adoption stories. "Kitten Bowl" has become synonymous with rescue pet adoption, which begins the Saturday before the program premieres, and continues throughout the weekend. "Kitten Bowl I" began with five rescue and adoption organizations holding adoption events in cities around the country. The number grew to 25 rescue partners in 2015, 50 in 2016, and 100 in 2017. During each year's broadcast of "Kitten Bowl," awareness for pet adoption rises dramatically. Hallmark Channel announces that with its partner North Shore Animal League America, "Kitten Bowl V" will host 500 adoption parties in 2018 -- making "Kitten Bowl" one of TV's most beloved gridiron TV traditions. It's not only kittens and cats that get adopted during the telecast of "Kitten Bowl." The event is also responsible for the adoption of hundreds of puppies and dogs, 13 rabbits, and a pig.
