Here’s what’s happening this week:
Easter Under Wraps (Wed., April 5, 7P p.m. ET and available thru streaming), Hallmark Channel
Spring is in the air – and so is love – in this charming Easter-themed romance! When marketing director, Erin Cavendish, leaves the big city to head back to her hometown and pull an “undercover boss” in her family’s chocolate factory, she discovers something even sweeter than candy: true love. This film has all the appeal of the ornately-decorated chocolate Cavendish Egg that Chocolatier, Bryan Bailey, creates to save the factory and win Erin’s heart. Come for the romance, but stay for beautiful pastels, stunning flowers, and delectable chocolates that are as far and wide as the Easter Bunny can hop! If you love Easter, spring, and romance, this is the Hallmark movie for you!

If you’re looking for celebrities and comedians, there’s nothing like a live show!
Here’s what happening around in New York:
- Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon Theatre: TV’s quintessential New Yorker added everything from “in the vault” to “yada yada yada” to the lexicon and he continues to delight audiences with his observational humor. This comedian is getting out of his car and ditching the coffee to return to the upper west side for two shows (4/7 & 4/8) at the Beacon Theatre, a New York landmark!
- Seth Meyers at the Paramount: Seth Meyers is taking the night off from filming his late-night talk show (which films at 30 Rock in NYC) to head out to Long Island. If you can’t get enough of his monologues then don’t miss the chance to see the SNL alumni and Emmy-award winning writer take his comedy to the stage (4/6) to perform his hilarious stand-up!
Foods That Built America (Sunday, April 9, 7 p.m. ET), History Channel
Peter Rabbit may get all the credit, but it was Bob Born (the son of Mike & Ike candy creator) who came up with the idea to make peeps and jelly beans a staple in your Easter Basket.
