While we still have to eat our way through Halloween and Thanksgiving, Hallmark is about to switch two of its channels to its “Countdown to Christmas” format to deliver nonstop holiday cheer through the end of the year. The network has 22 new movies on its lineup, plus favorites from past seasons. (See details on each new movie below.)
This year’s Hallmark Channel holiday lineup includes Dolly Parton, Kristin Chenoweth, Candace Cameron Bure, Lacey Chabert, Kathie Lee Gifford and Kellie Pickler. Country star Blake Shelton is producing a sequel to a Hallmark movie from last season that was inspired by one of his holiday songs Taste of Country says. This year’s movie is “Time for You to Come Home for Christmas,” starring Lucas Bryant and Alison Sweeney.
Listings are subject to change so check the network’s website for updates. If you want to imbibe in some Christmas cheer at the expense of the network’s formula of women dropping their clearly inappropriate boyfriends when they find true love at the holiday, there’s a Hallmark drinking game for that — Watch for small towns pulling together, kids who need a parent, women named Eve and Holly, and adorable dogs.
The Hallmark Channel kicks off its “Countdown to Christmas” on Saturday and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries’ “Miracles of Christmas” programming starts Friday. Below is a list of all the new specials, which will pop up many more times on the schedule. All times are Eastern.
