Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage is a 2008 Christmas biopic directed by Michael Campus, the first film he had directed in more than 30 years. It stars Jared Padalecki as painter Thomas Kinkade and features Peter O'Toole, Marcia Gay Harden and Aaron Ashmore.
The film was originally intended for release theatrically in 2007, but due to final edits and music rights its release was delayed until the following year.[2] The film's official painting was created throughout 2007, alongside the film's production.[3] The film was eventually released direct to video in the United States on November 11, 2008.[4]
