Hallmark is ‘bringing the yuletide poolside this July!’

It’s the ‘second’ most wonderful time of the year, and a cheerful pick-me-up might be needed now more than ever. Hallmark is here to lift our spirits with their annual Christmas in July programming event that spans two of their networks, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

‘Gold Crown Christmas’ on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries begins Monday, June 29 at 5pm ET/PT where three festive favorites will air each night, and you can look forward to Double Feature Fridays with pairings of original movies from a franchise; “Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas” (2018) and “Time for You to Come Home for Christmas” (2019) on July 3rd and “Christmas in Angels Falls” (2017) and “Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday” (2019) on July 10th. Our country’s service men and women will be honored on Saturday, July 4th with a marathon of military-themed Christmas movies.

Hallmark Channel will join in on the joy when they present ‘Keepsake Christmas’, 17 days of original movies from Christmases past that begins on Friday, July 10th at Noon ET/PT. The holiday slate kicks off with “Christmas at Dollywood” (2019) starring Danica McKellar, Niall Matter and Dolly Parton.

Note: As for the annual Christmas: A First Look Preview Special that airs every July, Hallmark’s production schedule was halted due to the pandemic. I imagine the network will most likely wait until a later date, maybe September, for the first reveal. I’ll keep you posted.

Watch the promo and check out the full Christmas in July schedules below!

It’s been a very anxious and uncertain time lately, which makes the news of Betty White starring in an upcoming Christmas movie even more exciting!

Lifetime announced that the iconic actress, known for her roles in “Golden Girls”, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Hot in Cleveland”, will lead an upcoming film — currently untitled — for their annual It’s a Wonderful Lifetime holiday programming. The network says the eight-time Emmy winner will play a character that ‘helps whip would-be Santas into shape, spreading the true meaning of Christmas and leading everyone to wonder: Is she secretly Mrs. Claus?’

Who’s ready for more Christmas? Hallmark is spreading holiday cheer again this weekend to put us in a jolly mood while we all isolate in our homes in the hopes of slowing the spread of COVID-19.

We need a little Christmas right this very minute!

It’s no secret that we are feeling really anxious and uncertain as we’re all quarantined due to the Coronavirus pandemic that has swept the world.  While we stay home, and hopefully succeed in doing our part to #flattenthecurve, it would be really wonderful to have something to uplift our spirits — and Hallmark Channel is here to help deliver that to us! Many viewers have expressed their need for ‘a little Christmas’, so the network is giving viewers what they asked for with the We Need a Little Christmas Movie Marathon that will air throughout the weekend.

The festive favorites will run from Friday, March 20th at 12pm/11c through Sunday, March 22nd.

The other day I posted a run-down of all the Hallmark Christmas movies that are set for DVD release dates in the coming weeks, and now we officially have the release date for Universal Pictures “Last Christmas”, starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding, which opened in theaters this past November.

Amazon Description: From director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Emma Thompson (Bridget Jones’s Baby) comes a heartfelt romantic comedy inspired by the unforgettable music of George Michael. Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) stars as Kate, who works as an elf at a year-round holiday shop. Kate faces an endless streak of bad luck and poor decision-making until she meets Tom (Henry Golding, Crazy Rich Asians), a kind-hearted man with a mysterious past who challenges her cynical world view. It seems like nothing can keep this mismatched couple together, but sometimes you gotta listen to your heart… and you gotta have faith.
