As you know, this is a year-round Christmas site and while I love watching all of the festive movies that premiere on Hallmark throughout the year, my focus are the Christmas season films. That being said, after January 6th’s ‘Little Christmas’ celebration, my holiday mood does not diminish and, for me, there’s no better way to beat the post-holiday blues than to watch some wintry love stories during Hallmark Channel’s Winterfest programming event!

For some reason, despite the lack of holiday focus, these movies still keep me so festive — the power of a winter wonderland — and that’s why I want to share the lineup US Weekly debuted today to showcase all of the wintry bliss coming to the network in January 2020.

A lot of your network favorites will be returning, including: Jill Wagner, Rukiya Bernard, Tyler Hynes, Chad Michael Murray and Victor Webster. Holiday For Heroes star Patti Murin will also join her real-life husband Colin Donnell in Love on Iceland!

Additionally, I saw on their website that Hallmark Channel will air a Winterfest Preview Special just before the year is out, which is set to be posted by Lacey Chabert and Ryan Paevey!

Check out the list of movies you’ll be snuggling up to watch with a cozy blanket and a cup of cocoa!

When the Hallmark holiday movie lineup was announced back in September, you may remember seeing the title “Alice in Christmasland” included… and then it moved around the schedule before finally disappearing altogether. Well–it’s back, and with a little bit of a title change!

Chad Michael Murray announced in an Instagram post this morning that he began production on Alice in Winterland alongside Italia Ricci (Rome in Love) and Jack Turner (One Winter Weekend, One Winter Proposal, One Winter Wedding).

There is still a little bit to learn about this particular film project because, we don’t know the plot, if it’s staying on Hallmark Channel or heading to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries–or if it’s slated to premiere this holiday season or next year. In fact, the script might have even been reworked to premiere during the Winterfest 2020 lineup, which kicks off in January, considering the title change.

In the meantime, make sure you tune in for Murray’s film, Write Before Christmas when it premieres on Hallmark Channel on Sunday, November 17th.  If Alice in Winterland should premiere this holiday season, it would mean that Murray is the third actor to star in two holiday movies for Hallmark this season following Andrew Walker (Merry & Bright, Christmas On My Mind) and Michael Rady (Two Turtle Doves, A New Year’s Resolution).

Update 11/20/19: This movie has been confirmed for the Winterfest 2020 lineup with yet another title change! The current working title is Winter Inn Love.

I vote Alice Inn Winterland as the final title but, that’s just me.

Stay merry!
