It feels like the beginning of the year went by slowly, and now everything is moving so quickly! I can’t believe it’s already October and the holiday season is upon us! The Christmas programming schedules have started pouring in recently, which just adds an extra little dose of excitement… a few fun things to anticipate, especially when you’re spending most of your time at home these days.

In fact, Hallmark Channel’s Countdown To Christmas, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ Miracles Of Christmas and Lifetime’s It’s A Wonderful Lifetime lineups all kick off on October 23rd while Netflix will premiere “The Holidate”, starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey, on October 28th!

There’s a lot to look forward to around the world this month — including Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween, for those who celebrate. I hope you have a wonderful October and #StayMerry! 🎃✨🍁

In an addition to with releasing a brand new Christmas album this month, Country music icon Dolly Parton, is teaming up with retailer Williams-Sonoma, Inc. this holiday season to launch a collection inspired by Dolly’s own holiday traditions, which includes her signature sugar cookie mix, a replica gingerbread log cabin reminiscent of her childhood home, and a Christmas patchwork apron along with matching oven mitts.

“Sharing my families’ Christmas traditions is a dream come true, and who better to partner with than Williams Sonoma. We joined together to create a whole bunch of goodies that will fit in perfectly with your family celebration or get you started on creating new traditions that will last a lifetime,” Dolly said in an official statement.

“My mama always made us feel loved by making us treats in our little mountain cabin around the holidays. Now I get to invite all my nieces and nephews and their kids for what we like to call ‘cookie night’. It’s the perfect way to spend time with the special people on your Christmas list.”
