Hallmark Is Airing 41 Brand-New Christmas Movies This Year

We can always count on Hallmark to get us in the holiday spirit. And while, the network is known to spread cheer during the off-season, they fully embrace, as they call it "24/7 yuletide," with back-to-back Christmas movies the moment that October rolls around.

This year, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are doubling up on the festive fun, airing 41 brand-new Christmas movies. Each Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, kick things off with Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas" at 8 p.m. ET/ PT, then follow it up with Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' "Miracles of Christmas" at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Saturday nights. The holiday season — or shall we say, Hallmark movie-watching season — is jam-packed with sugary-sweet romances, highly-anticipated reunions (psst, Back to the Future and Wonder Years fans) and all of your Hallmark favorites (Candace Cameron Bure, Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar, Tamera Mowry-Housley, to name a few).

We're already deep into Hallmark's 2021 programming, but if you're looking for what's airing from now until (FYI, here's how to watch). So, keep scrolling to see the lineup for 2021.
