Actor Mario Lopez has announced a partnership with the Hallow prayer app to celebrate the holiday season. He will collaborate with Grammy-winning artist Lauren Daigle and actor Michael Iskander, known for his role as King David in the series “House of David.” Together, they aim to guide listeners in exploring the hymn “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” emphasizing a deep connection with Christ during Christmas.
Mario Lopez’s Holiday Prayer Initiative
Lopez expressed his enthusiasm for teaming up with Hallow. He mentioned the holiday season’s often overwhelming nature, which includes shopping, traveling, and decorating. His goal is to help everyone rediscover the true meaning of Christmas, which centers on faith in Jesus Christ. He stated, “It’s not about shopping or planning a party. It’s about getting ready for the season’s spiritual significance.”
Celebrity Participation and Impact
Lopez’s involvement reflects a broader trend of celebrities engaging with faith-focused content. In recent years, he has increasingly embraced opportunities to promote his beliefs publicly. He remarked on the challenges of expressing faith in Hollywood, where diverse viewpoints are not always welcomed.

Similar Initiatives This Season
Mario Lopez’s project is part of a larger movement. Earlier in December, actor Chris Pratt announced a collaboration with Hallow to create an Advent devotional inspired by Psalm 46. Pratt highlighted the importance of daily prayers during the busy holiday period, suggesting that taking less than ten minutes each day can significantly enhance spiritual connection.
Looking Ahead
The increasing involvement of celebrities in faith-driven initiatives not only promotes their personal beliefs but also encourages fans to reflect on their own spirituality. This Christmas season, both Lopez and Pratt serve as reminders to focus on what truly matters: faith, family, and peace.
