Sister Swap is an American series of TV films, starring sisters Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams . The films were originally broadcast on Hallmark Channel , as part of the channel's "Countdown to Christmas" seasonal programming.

In December 2022, Dan Harmon posted on social media that he found both films to be the same film with much the same dialogue and scenes, but with different edits and some scenes shot from different angles. ^[1] Williams-Paisley responded that Hallmark had let the crew enact her sister Ashley Williams's "idea of two films that take place in the same time frame and sometimes overlap", and producer Neal Dodson explained that "We had one editor and edited them in tandem. They share 9 scenes, with different edits to those scenes that favour whichever sister's movie it is." ^[1]
