If there’s one thing most Christmas lovers can agree on about mainstream holiday season programming, it’s that there isn’t nearly enough of it. Enter the Hallmark Channel, the only network capable of conjuring and maintaining that warm, fuzzy feeling through the entire festive period.
You might not be surprised to find out that Hallmark’s 2023 Countdown to Christmas – a stream of 42 brand new holiday releases, premiering on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings – started more than two months before the big day. A tad early for some, but now that we’re into December, let the all-you-can-eat cheese buffet commence!
From classic fish-out-of-water tales (Miracle in Bethlehem, PA), to Hanukkah party timeloops (Round and Round) and wholesome self-improvement capers (Sealed With a List), via a parade of cynical corporate-types who are consistently made to see the errors of their ways by myriad unlikely chains of events, nobody does Christmas like the Hallmark Channel.
Wherever you plan to spend the holidays, read on and we’ll show you the best and cheapest ways to watch Hallmark Channel this festive season.
