The Hallmark Channel’s February celebration, which they like to call “Loveuary,” is back this year with four new movies for their Valentine’s Day-inspired event, in which viewers can watch a brand-new movie every Saturday of the month.
“Loveuary” has been a tradition at the cable network since 2015, with Hallmark typically releasing romance-themed movies throughout the month. There were a total of five movies that premiered for the month-long event in 2024, with four of them being adaptations of books by Jane Austen.
The celebration kicks off on Saturday, February 1, with the premiere of the first new movie.
An Unexpected Valentine
Lacey Chabert, who is best known for her role as Gretchen in Mean Girls, and Robert Buckley, from iZombie, team up to play a rideshare driver and his customer, who go through a “wild goose chase” around New York City to return a lost engagement ring to its owner. But it doesn’t happen on just any normal day — it happens on Valentine’s Day, making their journey across the city that doesn’t sleep that much more romantic. An Unexpected Valentine premieres on Saturday, February 1, at 8/7c.
The Wish Swap
Emily Tennant and Jake Foy team up to tell the story of two people who are celebrating their birthdays at the same restaurant, with both of them making wishes that swap and end up coming true for the other person. Fans can catch The Wish Swap on Saturday, February 8, at 8/7c.
Return to Office
Janel Parrish, best known for her work on Pretty Little Liars, and Scott Michael Foster, from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, play two coworkers in Return to Office who spark a romance after their office decides to return to a hybrid schedule. The two play Liv and Tom, who only know each other as Ms. Monday and Mr. Tuesday, respectively. The rom-com is set to premiere on the network on Saturday, February 15, at 8/7c.
Sisterhood Inc.
