Here are some blog entries you might be interested in – if you’re looking for some other Christmas movies. You can probably find a lot of them playing on TV as we approach the holiday season. The entries are from my Cozy Mystery site.

Cuppa Cozy says
As far as I know there are only 2 Hallmark mystery movies set around Christmas. I don’t know if they are being shown this year, but they are Deck the Halls (2011) and Murder She Baked: The Plum Pudding Mystery (2015). The Murder She Baked Mysteries are based on the Hannah Swenson series by Joanna Fluke. Deck the Halls features PI Reagan Reilly, but I’m not sure whether it has anything in common with Carol Higgins Clark’s Reagan Reilly series other than the main character’s name and profession.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Cuppa, I’m not sure if either is going to be shown this year either – it’s always a bit difficult keeping track of Hallmark movie schedules.
Linda says
We got the hallmark movies,and mysteries for free last holiday season for our at&t cable company. Will we get it again this year? We could all use a lot of holiday cheer THIS YEAR!!
