Here's when all 41 new Hallmark Christmas movies will premiere

The hallmarks of a proper Christmas season are a few snowflakes in the air, several logs in the fire, and too many presents under the tree. Oh, and Hallmark Christmas movies. And as you know, Hallmark likes to kickstart the festivities early — like, pre-Halloween early — so it's time to start the countdown to Oct. 22, when the first of 41(!) new films will premiere. Let's zip up our coats and dive face-first into the two-month schedule that spans Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and Hallmark Movies Now (Hallmark's streaming service), and along the way, we'll gift you with first-look photos from a dozen new movies.

Prepare to reunite with some old friends, such as Tamera Mowry-Housley, Alison Sweeney, Rachael Leigh Cook, and the Williams sisters in the form of Kimberly and Ashley. (Don't worry, Lacey Chabert and Candace Cameron Bure will follow shortly.) Some surprising familiar faces are also here for cheer, including stars from Lost, Battlestar Galactica, and The Matrix. (That'd be Terry O'Quinn, Katee Sackhoff, and Joe Pantoliano.) And wait, there's Kim's Convenience star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee! And oh, do you hear the sweet voices of Jordin Sparks and Michelle Williams? And the guitar playing of Bruce Campbell and Peter Gallagher? Hey, look at those mini-reunions of the Desperate Housewives, The Wonder Years, Back to the Future, and Fuller House casts! No need to desperately wonder what else the festive future holds in your house when you can just start scrolling.
