I know this blog entry is a little early (since we haven’t yet experienced Halloween 2020) but I want to be sure to let you know about the NEW Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and the Hallmark channels’ Christmas movies. Yes, it’s that time of year again, and I can’t wait! Both channels are going to be starting their NEW Christmas movies on October 24 this year, and both channels will be airing their premiere Christmas movies on Saturday and Sunday nights. The only difference I can see (unless it is changed later) is that the Hallmark channel will also be airing Christmas movie premieres during the week of Thanksgiving. So – be sure to set your DVRs!

Also, 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.

PamB says
Not for sure I’m ready for Christmas movies in October… yet, how this year has been and continues to be, I’m going to embrace whole heartedly these holiday movies! I might even get out my Christmas jigsaws… ha! Thank you, Danna, for the listing and for the extra recommendations at the end
Danna - cozy mystery list says
PamB, getting into a celebratory spirit can a bit early certainly can be nice in times of hardship!
Cecile F says
Yay! A Chanukah themed movie on December 20th! Hallmark Christmas movies are ok, nice stories but not relatable. I hope it’s as satisfying to me, as Jewish, as the Christmas movies are to Christians. My favorite Hallmark movie is “Loving Leah” which featured wonderful characters, interesting story lines & I learned about a part of Judaism I only had heard about vaguely, before. I hope Hallmark does more culturally diverse movies.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Cecile, I’m not Jewish, but I certainly agree that Chanukah movies would certainly be a welcome addition to Hallmark’s holiday movie lineup!
Jon says
Also worth mentioning: Hallmark Drama will be showing 34 older Hallmark Christmas movies in a “Where Great Holiday Stories Come To Life” event along side the other two Hallmark channel lineups.
I highly recommend the Hallmark Movie Checklist app to keep track of what’s coming up and what you’ve seen. There’s even a new checklist for Hallmark Drama.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jon, it sounds like that will be a great marathon to watch for Hallmark Christmas movie fans.
Teri W says
Are these all premiers?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Teri W, yes, they’re all new. I’m glad you asked this question. I totally forgot to mention they are all premieres. I’ve just updated my blog entry to let other people know. Thanks, again!
Kay says
Why can’t there be some mystery shows during the “hallmark Christmas season”. Really miss my mysteries during this time!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Kay, I know it can certainly be a disruption!
