We have received questions about where to watch the holiday movies on ION Television this year and, like you, we were on the hunt for the schedule for several weeks. Unfortunately, the network never updated their main daily schedule to show a large inclusion of Christmas movies this year.

After a bit more searching following Thanksgiving, we found out that you can watch holiday movies throughout the season all day every weekday until Christmas Day through ION Plus—their streaming service sister channel.

The holiday programming, which kicked off on Thanksgiving night, seems to only include Christmas movies from past years. We could not find any information on any network premieres exclusive to this season. Click here to check out the daily schedule.

Well, this is a nice surprise!

While checking out the updated information for another Christmas movie that Erica Deutschman filmed earlier this year, I noticed on her IMDb page that she recently wrapped another holiday film!

The former “Shadowhunters” actress joins Cindy Sampson (“Private Eyes”), Robin Dunne (“On the Twelfth Day of Christmas”, “Sound of Christmas”), and Chris Violette (“Star Trek: Discovery”) in a supporting role for “A Christmas Crush”. While there isn’t a synopsis available yet for the film, Marita Grabiak serves as director with a script written by John Burd.

Grabiak has previously directed several holiday films, including: “Sleigh Bells Ring”, “With Love, Christmas”, “The Christmas Pact”, and the upcoming Hallmark film “A Christmas Scavenger Hunt”.

Currently “A Christmas Crush” is scheduled to premiere on ION TV but, as I’m sure you’re use to now, there’s a possibility of schedule/network changes. I’ll keep you posted.

FYI: Dunne will also star in “The Christmas Chalet” and “New Year’s Kiss” this year!

Stay merry!
