It’s no secret that one of my absolute favorite parts of the holiday season is when Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” begins and I can kick back to enjoy the beloved two month marathon of original Christmas movies whenever I want, which is why I’m so excited to post the full line-up of their brand new movies (ALL 19 OF THEM!) that will kick-off in OCTOBER!

Included in this year’s event: A “When Calls the Heart” Christmas special as well as the “National Christmas Tree Lighting” and the “Home & Family Holiday Special”. This is all going down among holiday movies all day and all night! Now you know why Hallmark Channel is called the ‘holiday television destination’.

“Countdown to Christmas” begins on Saturday, October 29th with the premiere of “A Wish for Christmas”, starring Lacey Chabert and Paul Greene, at 8pm/7c. You can find the full schedule of all of the new premieres below, all times ET/PT.

Stay merry!

Note: Remember, the Hallmark Channel Christmas movie line-up is practically non-stop– meaning if a Christmas movie isn’t on, it’s because “Home & Family” is and it will probably still be a festive episode with tips on how to make your Christmas extra special. There will also be a few Thanksgiving movies that air here and there during November. The schedule will be jam-packed, so if you want to know when every single new and old movie is airing, please visit HallmarkChannel.com.
