The Cozy Mystery List Blog

It looks like July will be a bonanza month for those of you who aren’t all caught up with the Hallmark channel’s Christmas movies. That’s right, it will be Christmas in July on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. And these Christmas reruns will not only be on in the evening, but they will also replace the daily roster of mystery shows like Columbo, Monk, and Hart to Hart. Also, once the channel resumes its regular programming schedule on Monday, July 15 the channel will continue to show a Christmas movie every Thursday night.

I do have some rather good news for those of us who enjoy the Hallmark mystery movies. Aurora Teagarden will be back with new shows next month, August 2019! 

Rather than list all of the Christmas movie reruns, I’m just going to tell you about the brand new Christmas movie the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel will be airing:

Monday – July 1, 2019 to Monday – July 15, 2019
Christmas movies all day and night.
On Thursday – July 4, 2019 the Christmas movies will honor veterans.
