I know, I know, summer is finally here! The days are stretching longer, and the sight of sunscreen, beach toys, and picnic essentials filling store shelves is enough to get anyone giddy. It’s that time of year to unwind, kick back, and enjoy a break from the hustle and bustle of school and countless activities.
But I must admit, nothing brings me quite as much joy as the sound of laughter, dinners al fresco under leafy trees, and the scent of freshly mowed grass. What truly makes my heart sing, however, is holiday movies.
Yes, I said it, and I’m not ashamed! Recently, while rummaging through my favorite gardening center for vibrant blooms, I stumbled upon the news that Hallmark Channel is releasing a whopping forty new holiday films this year. I might have let out an enthusiastic cheer while standing next to the potting soil—who can blame me?
That’s right, folks. This is real, and it’s happening! Forty new films, setting a record for Hallmark. I have my fingers crossed for fifty next year, because why not dream big?
Now, if you’re not a fan of these delightful holiday films with their predictable storylines—where the hero finds love just as Santa sprinkles magic dust—then that’s okay. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they’re wrong!
For those who share my affection (and let’s be honest, about 74.8% of us do, excluding the 25.2% who won’t admit their love for Hallmark), you know the thrill of curling up in front of the TV for a two-month-long marathon, ready to defend your binge-watching against anyone brave enough to change the channel. You can almost taste the eggnog and inhale the aroma of pine, despite the summer sun blazing outside.
While others are busy planning their Fourth of July barbecues and shuddering at the thought of fall, I’m already dreaming of Hallmark’s holiday magic. The first film will air in July as part of their Keepsake Christmas Campaign, a perfect sneak peek to get us ready for the Countdown to Christmas, which kicks off on October 25.
The lineup looks promising. According to Entertainment Weekly, stars like Jordan Rivers and Lisa Monroe will light up the screen in “The Christmas Tune,” a musical tale that promises romance wrapped in festive cheer and perhaps a snowy kiss to seal the deal.
Additionally, country star Jamie Lane is producing a film for Hallmark Movies and Mysteries featuring some of his own songs. I can already feel the holiday spirit bubbling up!
The countdown to holiday joy is just around the corner, and we don’t have to wait until the year’s end to soak in that merry vibe. Yes, you can juggle trick-or-treating with your kids while secretly indulging in holiday films each night. They aren’t mutually exclusive!
So, if you’re like me and can’t wait to whip out the holiday playlist and plan your festive cookie swap as soon as Labor Day rolls around, rejoice in this exciting news. I might just start the countdown right now!
Of course, if you think I’m rushing things and find it annoying to look ahead to holiday films while summer is still in full swing, that’s perfectly fine. I’ll just be over here, bells jingling, soaking in all the holiday cheer with my air conditioner on full blast.
