As you will notice, Hallmark has carefully planned its Christmas movie line-up very well, to avoid any major clashes with premieres. The network wants festive film fans to be able to watch as many of the new titles as possible, without worrying about scheduling conflicts, and has taken this into consideration when planning out all the new releases.
From October right through to Christmas, there are multiple new movies popping up every week, ensuring there is always something to watch. And not only does this extensive collection of films demonstrate Hallmark’s desire to deliver plenty of seasonal content for viewers, it also showcases Hallmark’s continued commitment to build upon its existing portfolio of Christmas movies which have already proved popular.
And speaking of Hallmark’s existing portfolio of movies, it’s worth noting that in addition to the 42 new films, Hallmark has an extensive collection of hit holiday films from yesteryear that will also be appearing throughout the season. Some of these films you may have watched before, while some you may have previously missed, so there really will be a lot of options for Christmas viewing this year.
So, the big question now is, with all these new movies on the horizon, are you going to watch all the holiday films on offer or are you going to select a few that take your fancy? And if you are picking and choosing, what movies will make your list?
Will it be Christmas Island with Andrew Walker and Rachel Skarsten? Could it be Ms. Christmas Comes to Town with Erica Durance, Brennan Elliott and Barbara Niven? Or will it be Mystery on Mistletoe Lane with Erica Cerra and Victor Webster? Ultimately, the choice is yours!
