Christmas movie lovers, hold onto your (winter) hats! On September 19, 2024, Hallmark Media unveiled its biggest Christmas movie lineup yet, with 47 original holiday movies that will begin airing on October 18, as first reported by the Today Show.

According to Variety, Hallmark Channel’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas will feature 31 new movies, while Hallmark Mystery will continue its “Miracles of Christmas” promotion with nine new movies. Hallmark will also premiere two new holiday franchises: three new movies featuring the stars of its 2023 ensemble movie “Christmas on Cherry Lane” and a new four-movie franchise that follow four friends who work at the same store, called “All Wrapped Up.”
Still want more? Don’t forget that Hallmark+ will be premiering two holiday series this season, with premiere dates yet to be announced.
