Every Time A Bell Rings — Available to stream: November 18 | World Premiere
Stars: Erin Cahill, Wes Brown, Brittany Ishibashi, Ali Liebert

Three sisters reunite in their hometown of Natchez, Mississippi at Christmas after a long time apart. They’re surprised to discover their late father had planned one last scavenger hunt for them to find the family’s wooden wishing bell, a beloved, annual holiday tradition when they were young. As they search for clues in the days leading up to Christmas, the trio visits local childhood haunts around Natchez that hold special meaning for them. In the process, their sisterly bond is rekindled and each learns an important lesson about what they want in life and in love.

Dashing Through the Snow — Available to stream: November 1
Stars: Meghan Ory, Andrew Walker

After a snafu at the airport, Ashley is forced to rent a car in order to make it home to Seattle by Christmas. She ends up sharing the last rental car on the lot with Dash, a handsome stranger, also on his way to Seattle. As sparks fly between the two, we learn that Ashley’s airport “snafu” was actually because she is on the FBI’s ‘no-fly list,’ and Dash has a secret of his own that may halt their blossoming romantic road trip in its tracks.

We’re in the merry midst of Christmas movie premieres but, we can still talk about what’s coming next holiday season, right? I can’t tell you how many emails I received from fans wanting Brennan Elliott in a new Hallmark Christmas movie, and I’m thrilled to share that he will be… in 2020!

The network favorite shared on Instagram over the weekend that he would soon head to Vienna, Austria to begin filming Christmas in Vienna with Sarah Drew (Lifetime’s “Twinkle All the Way”).

If you were a fan of the chemistry between Autumn Reeser and Jesse Metcalfe‘s characters in the 2015 Hallmark Channel movie, “A Country Wedding”, you’ll be excited to know that the two are reuniting for a Christmas movie on the network!

In a now deleted Instagram Story (they only last for 24 hours!), Metcalfe posted a photo of their “A Country Wedding” poster with a Santa Claus emoji covering his face and the message “We have a little surprise for you this Christmas!”. Additionally, a video of Reeser on set of the movie was posted on Instagram where it was mentioned that the name of the film is “Christmas Under the Stars”.

You were probably just as sad as I was to see Hallmark’s holiday programming end this month…

But, did it really?

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas, and to celebrate the milestone, the network will air an original Christmas movie every single Friday at 8pm/7c until the countdown begins again this holiday season!

Our wishes for year-long Christmas have been granted!

I already shared the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas in July movie marathon line-up (see it here), and now I bring you the schedule for the Hallmark Movie Channel that will be airing holiday favorite films practically simultaneously with their other network for 10 days straight!

The Hallmark Movie Channel presents: “Gold Crown Christmas”, a non-stop holiday movie marathon event running from July 4 until the 13th. This special event, along with the Hallmark Channel’s Keepsake Christmas Holiday Preview marathon, will overlap–towards the end–with the 2014 Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event as it begins at Hallmark stores next month (running July 12-20).

When you think about it, Hallmark is devoting nearly the entire month to celebrating Christmas in July!

Here’s the official movie schedule below…

The Hallmark Channel is airing their annual Christmas in July movie marathon as the “Keepsake Christmas Holiday Preview”–featuring your favorite festive movies around the clock from July 4-13!

This special 10-day festive movie event will wind down as the 2014 Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event begins previewing at Hallmark stores–from July 12-20th. We’re talking almost a whole month of early Christmas celebrating with Hallmark!

Here’s the official movie schedule below…

October is the most amazing month… Ahhcotober!

Normally at the end of October I reflect on an awesome entry to the Christmas season… I am excited about the leaves changing, the colorful pumpkins, the ritual of decorating … the month of October is so exciting!  As I mentioned before, I don’t “Countdown” because I am there already – the season is where I want to be.  I have several birthday’s to celebrate in October… my granddaughter, two of my daughters, my mother’s and even my own; I put huge focus on the Hallmark Ornament Premiere and then I put things in order for Halloween.  Of course once Halloween is over… at 12:01am on November 1^st I am preparing for Christmas.   Last year, Halloween was dampened – literally!  We had a snowstorm that nearly ruined the “children’s candy feast”… luckily, we were able to salvage some of the decorations, but it was still cold and wet and the kids had to maneuver through snow to get to each door.

This year we didn’t have Halloween.  The week before we got warning that a hurricane was headed up the east coast… the biggest hurricane ever – Sandy!   We got word from our Governor that Halloween would be postponed and celebrated on Monday, November 5^th … after all, who in their right mind could celebrate the holiday when so many people lost their homes, their businesses, their lives?  All of the kids were out of school all week… most of us lost power at the onset of the storm on Monday…. so the Halloween parade and party was cancelled – there were many sad children.   Instead of getting dressed up and taking my son and granddaughter trick or treating, I was driving around the state looking for a hot meal and praying I would find a hotel for the night; my house was without power and it was freezing!   I drove for hours… finally, I decided that IF I couldn’t find a hotel, I would just crash at the hospital lobby or a 24 hr diner; as I went to give my son his medicine… I couldn’t find it.  I “knew” I had put it in a plastic bag and placed it in the back along side the emergency bags…  but it wasn’t there!  So, I drove back home with the intention of getting the medicine and then heading over to the diner.  As we drove home, we noticed more and more lights were appearing… then the traffic lights …. and finally the lights on MY street were on!!!  Power was back!!!  It looked like Christmas. If you believe…then you will receive; so for me, tonight was the beginning of the Christmas season for sure… full of miracles. God guided me home for the medicine so that I would see the lights… so that my family could bathe and sleep in a warm bed.  Unfortunately, there are many still displaced; many suffering as I write this, and I pray for them all.  I am thankful for the lives spared, for the healing…. God is good.   Thank God.
