It’s finally here!!! In less than a week it will be time to watch Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas”! I don’t know about you, but I wait all year for the networks annual holiday programming. I mean, it’s Christmas movies all day and all night — that’s some merry dedication right there, so it’s no wonder Hallmark Channel has been labeled as a holiday television destination.

This year – Hallmark Channel’s biggest ever – will feature 17 all-new Christmas movies, including: “I’m Not Ready for Christmas” starring Alicia Witt, “Crown for Christmas” with Danica McKellar, “A Christmas Detour” starring network favorite Candace Cameron Bure, “A Christmas Melody” starring (and directed by) Mariah Carey, and “Northpole: Open For Christmas” — the sequel to last year’s hit!

“Countdown to Christmas” begins the evening of October 31st with the first movie premiere following the next day: “‘Tis the Season for Love'” starring Sarah Lancaster, which airs on Sunday, November 1st at 8pm. You can find the full schedule of all of the new premieres below, all times ET/PT.
