Christmas is coming! You know what that means…FREEFORM’S 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!

For its first holiday season under its new network name (formerly known as ABC Family), Freeform will begin their seasonal programming on December 1st with a jam-packed line-up of holiday favorites! Among the movies included are: “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, “The Santa Clause”, “Elf”, “The Polar Express”, “The Holiday”, “Arthur Christmas”, and “Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish”, original movies “The Mistle-Tones”, “Holiday in Hand-Cuffs”, “Christmas Cupid”, “12 Dates of Christmas”, and Freeform’s premiere of “Holiday Joy” starring Bailee Madison.

What I really like about this line-up is that there’s more Christmas movies than usually featured in the past; I like the “Harry Potter” movies as much as the next gal, but I feel like they’re better suited for the 13 Nights of Halloween line-up, or even the Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas. That being said, I miss the days of having a lot of original new movies to look forward to and I wish there was more variety in the primetime airings this year.

If you’re looking for a lot of variety, make sure you tune in during the early morning hours or afternoon.

When you’re looking to keep your noggin warm during the brutal winter days (and nights), or if you’re simply looking to jazz up your seasonal style–what better way than with a nod to “Home Alone” – aka- one of the best Christmas movies ever made?

Christmas Vacation Collectibles is currently selling a replica of Kevin McCallister’s (played by Macaulay Culkin) elk and pine tree patterned cap. Kevin’s exact hat is no longer available due to the amount of time it’s been since the film was released in 1990, but this festive hat is very closely modeled to the original–and it’s affordable!

You can purchase the ‘one size fits most’ cap here for $14.99 USD.

Stay merry!

Not only is it almost the ‘most wonderful time of the year’, but it’s almost time for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Most Wonderful Movies of Christmas”! The official line-up of the network’s holiday programming has been released, and I’m so excited to see all of the new festive mysteries about to be solved this season.

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.

I hope you’re enjoying the block of movies as part of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries “Gold Crown Christmas” week, but it’s about to get even more exciting around here! Saturday, July 9th marks the first day of the Keepsake Ornament Preview at Hallmark stores, so the Hallmark Channel is joining in with a separate holiday movie marathon — the “Christmas Keepsake Holiday Preview”! This special holiday programming will run for the majority of every day starting Friday, July 8th through Sunday, July 17th.

Movies slated to air will include: “Christmas Under Wraps”, “A Very Merry Mix-Up”, “Best Christmas Party Ever”, “Window Wonderland”, last year’s new additions “Family for Christmas”, “A Christmas Detour”, “A Christmas Melody”, “Northpole: Open for Christmas”, “Christmas Incorporated”, and tons more!

Christmas in July is in full-swing in my neck of the woods! My family and I have been watching the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries holiday marathon as well as popping in DVDs of some of our favorite Christmas films. We’ve had our festive iTunes playlist going, we made Christmas cookies, and we’re counting down the days until Hallmark’s Christmas Keepsake Ornament Preview this weekend!

That being said (and done), we’re taking today to celebrate Independence Day with some Patriotic fun, tasty BBQ food, and of course – FIREWORKS! I hope my fellow Americans have a wonderful holiday!

Stay merry!

It’s been said that “Christmas comes but once a year”, and while that may be true, isn’t it amazing that you can celebrate the spirit of it twice!?! Every summer Hallmark stores kick off their Christmas Keepsake Holiday Weekend — a preview of their upcoming ornaments for the year, and to help celebrate their “Christmas in July” celebration, their television networks join in on the fun with a 10 day block of holiday movie programming. The Hallmark Channel will begin airing their movies on July 8th this year, but their sister channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will get the festive party started TOMORROW!

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Gold Crown Christmas” runs from July 1st – July 10th with movies such as: “Christmas with Holly”, “The Christmas Secret”, “Christmas in Conway”, last year’s premieres of “The Christmas Note” and “Magic Stocking”, all of the Debbie Macomber favorites, and many-many more!
