The Hallmark Channel is set to delight fans with a record-breaking 34 original holiday movies this year, ensuring we have plenty of festive content to anticipate. While spring has officially arrived, the announcement has us feeling that holiday spirit already. Yes, it’s March, but who can resist the lure of Christmas in the air?
As reported by Entertainment Weekly, this year’s lineup marks an all-time high for both the Hallmark Channel and its sister network, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (HMM). In 2017, they debuted 33 holiday films, which was already an increase from 28 in 2016. That’s nearly a 20% spike in holiday cheer in just two years—truly a Christmas miracle!
Programming Schedule
The programming will kick off with 22 new films on the Hallmark Channel starting October 27, just in time to get cozy before Halloween. Meanwhile, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will showcase 12 new premieres beginning November 4. If waiting until October feels too long, rejoice: HMM’s Gold Crown Christmas block will air reruns from June 29 to July 8, and the Hallmark Channel’s Keepsake Christmas will run through July 15. If this inspires you to decorate for Christmas before the Fourth of July, go for it!
For a network that begins its Christmas countdown the day after Christmas, it’s only fitting they provide us with 34 fresh opportunities to embrace the festive mood wholeheartedly. The Hallmark Channel is clearly dedicated to spreading joy during the holiday season.
Merry Madness Christmas Bracket
Additionally, they are hosting a “Merry Madness Christmas Bracket,” allowing fans to vote for their favorite movies. The winning film will earn a substantial prize of $10,000, which would certainly help with holiday shopping for years to come.
What to Expect
While details about this year’s movies remain sparse, we can expect delightful storylines like those from last year’s favorites, which featured everything from magical ornaments to heartwarming reunions.
More Holiday Films on the Horizon
But wait, there’s even more! If 34 new holiday films aren’t enough to satisfy your festive cravings, Lifetime has announced plans to release 14 new holiday movies this season, more than doubling their 2017 offering. Plus, with the success of last year’s A Christmas Prince, Netflix is sure to elevate their holiday game as well.
