Spring is officially upon us, but the Hallmark Channel is already setting the stage for the holiday season with an exciting announcement: they will be releasing a record-breaking 34 original Christmas films this year. Yes, you read that right—34! While it may be March, the network is clearly eager to sprinkle some festive cheer into our lives, and we’re here for it.
According to reports from Entertainment Weekly, this year marks a milestone for both the Hallmark Channel and its sister station, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (HMM). In 2017, they released 33 holiday films combined, up from 28 the previous year. That’s a nearly 20% increase in holiday joy in just two years—now that’s what we call a Christmas miracle!
What to Expect
The lineup will feature 22 new movies premiering on the Hallmark Channel, starting October 27, which is certainly early for Christmas spirit, especially with Halloween right around the corner. On the other hand, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will introduce 12 new titles beginning November 4.
If you can’t bear the thought of waiting until fall to indulge in some holiday fun, don’t worry! HMM’s Gold Crown Christmas programming will offer reruns from June 29 to July 8, while the Hallmark Channel’s Keepsake Christmas will keep you entertained until July 15. Feel free to set up your Christmas tree before Independence Day if that’s what makes you happy!
For a network that kicks off its Christmas countdown the day after Christmas, it’s only fitting that they bring us 34 fresh opportunities to embrace the holiday spirit. They’re dedicated to celebrating the season, and we’re all in for the ride.
Merry Madness Christmas Bracket
Additionally, Hallmark is hosting a “Merry Madness Christmas Bracket,” where fans can vote for their favorite films in matchups until one lucky winner is crowned, earning a generous $10,000 prize—definitely a great help for holiday shopping!
While the specifics of this year’s lineup remain under wraps, past gems like “Enchanted Christmas” and “The Sweetest Christmas” have set the bar high, featuring everything from heartfelt reunions to magical elements.
More Holiday Movies to Look Forward To
But if you feel that 34 new holiday movies still leave you wanting more, Lifetime has also announced it will premiere 14 new holiday films this year, more than double what they offered in 2017. And you can be sure that Netflix will follow suit after the success of last year’s “A Christmas Prince.”
