It’s that time of year again! As we inch closer to the month of July, we are entering the second ‘most wonderful time of the year’ – Christmas in July, and one of the best ways to celebrate every summer is with the annual holiday programming slate from Hallmark!

To kick things off, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will be hosting a MERRY MOVIE WEEK starting Thursday, June 23rd at 6:00pm ET/PT through the morning of Friday, July 1st. Get ready to jingle away the day as you tune into some of your favorite holiday original movies, such as A Glenbrooke Christmas, Two Turtle Doves,  A Homecoming for the Holidays, The Christmas Bow, The Christmas Doctor, Journey Back to Christmas, Christmas in Evergreen, Christmas Tree Lane, and more!

When the programming event ends, you’ll be able to head over to Hallmark Channel to continue the merriment with a month-long merry-thon. So, basically, you’ll be able to get into the festive mood all month long and then some!

Here you will find a comprehensive list of all the holiday movies, specials and episodes that will be airing on US television during the Christmas season (and throughout the year!). Air dates are listed where possible, but if you see TBD (To Be Determined) then keep checking back to see when an air-date and time become available.

Please Note: This list will continue to be updated throughout the season, so please keep checking back!  Some networks (i.e. Hallmark, Lifetime & UPtv) will air their own original Christmas movies 24-hours a day with air-times that can change sporadically so, for those networks, I will include a link to their daily programming schedule to avoid making this post 3 miles long!

FYI: Christmas original movies from streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus are available 365 days a year, so keep in mind the films that premiered last year are *typically* still streaming!
