The Cozy Mystery List Blog

First off, let me say that I hope everyone has a fantastic, happy, and healthy 2022! 

I’m also hoping that since Hallmark was able to make something like forty new Christmas movies to show during the holiday season that they will be able to make something like forty new mystery movies to show the other months of the year. It would be great if we are treated to… let’s say four new mystery movies in each of the other ten months! Here’s hoping!

I have only listed one premiere movie so far during January 2022 – but I have one more Sunday to add to this list (once the channel makes their schedule public). I don’t think it’s a mystery, but until I’m sure I have it listed on this entry.
