Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV
This is just a very quick entry to let you know that I have added more holiday Christmas movies to my previous
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries AND Hallmark Channels Christmas Lists for the 2021 Holiday Season
entry. Click on the highlighted link above to see the updated list. (I’ll post even more when the channels give us more information.)
Christmas is upon us… at least on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel! Yep! It’s that time of year — again! I know a lot of you are probably sighing and saying “Danna, it’s not even Halloween yet! Enjoy autumn! Why are you rushing us?” And to that question I will answer: I have already seen a Christmas advertisement on television… and that’s with me fast-forwarding during the ads… I can only imagine how many other Christmas ads I miss with my click, click, clicking thumb!
As you may already know, I write an entry every month telling you about the Cozy Mystery movies that the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel will be airing during that particular month. Also, if you use my monthly entries, you know that the Hallmark channels don’t like to post their schedules for more than (something like) three weeks at a time. This is the first time (out of several years that I have been doing the Christmas entries) that I have not been able to track down the entire schedules. However, what I can tell you is that the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel will be premiering all of the NEW Christmas movies on Saturday nights (at 9:00) and the Hallmark channel will be premiering all of their NEW Christmas movies on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights (at 7:00). So, watch for those! That’s right: Saturday night will be a double-feature! So be sure to set your DVRs for both channels on Saturday!

However, I decided to go ahead and remind those of you who enjoy the NEW Christmas movies on the channel what they will be showing during November.
