Hallmark Channel has unveiled a massive 47 holiday films as part of its 15th annual “Countdown to Christmas.”
The main channel will air 31 new movies this season, while Hallmark Mystery will air nine new movies as part of “Miracles of Christmas.” The annual event begins on October 18.
Additionally, viewers can expect to see three new Christmas on Cherry Lane films that will expand upon the family’s stories, and four films under a new Unwrapping Christmas franchise will debut.
This year’s lineup includes several exciting reunions, such as Office Space co-stars Diedrich Bader and Richard Riehle in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story; Sabrina the Teenage Witch stars Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick in Holiday Mismatch; Pretty Little Liars alums Tammin Sursok and Brant Daugherty in Trivia at St. Nick’s; and former When Calls the Heart couple Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing in Santa Tell Me.
In addition to the movies below, Hallmark is also premiering several new series.
Finding Mr. Christmas, hosted by Jonathan Bennett and judged by Melissa Peterman, is an eight-episode reality competition series that follows “10 promising Hallmark ‘hunks’ who live together and compete against one another for the lead role in an upcoming original holiday movie.” The competition’s winner will star opposite Jessica Lowndes in the Hallmark original movie Happy Howlidays, which premieres on December 21.
Ready, Set, Glow! is a three-episode unscripted series hosted by Wes Brown, featuring holiday light shows around the country. It will debut on December 12.
Meanwhile, on the recently launched Hallmark+ app, two new limited series will soon become available.
Sarah Drew’s Mistletoe Murders, a six-episode show based on the popular Audible original title, will premiere on October 31. The series follows a Christmas-themed gift shop owner whose friend is accused of murder. Per the logline, “she can’t help utilizing her sleuthing skills when her friend is accused of murder…or falling for local Detective Sam Wilner.”
Lastly, a limited series called Holidazed, which “follows six families from different backgrounds all living on the same cul-de-sac,” will debut its first two of eight episodes on November 14. The series stars Dennis Haysbert, John C. McGinley, Loretta Devine, and Virginia Madsen.
