To kick off Lifetime’s major holiday programming slated for this year, Melissa Joan Hart will host “It’s A Wonderful Lifetime Preview Special”, which will give viewers a sneak peek at all of the original Christmas movie premieres that are headed to the network starting November 21st.

Hart, who will star in “A Very Nutty Christmas”, isn’t just giving us an inside look at the festive line-up–she’ll be doing it in a clever way that’s a perfect (and classic) nod at the season!

Synopsis: What if Lifetime never made Christmas movies? In this special, hosted by Melissa Joan Hart, we will be taken on a journey that explores how terrible life would be without Lifetime Christmas movies to bring us holiday cheer. Melissa will be visited by the “host” of Lifetime Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and along the way, she will preview the 14 exciting movies that are coming to Lifetime this holiday season. Once this special is over, you won’t be able to imagine a world without the magic of Lifetime Christmas.

“It’s A Wonderful Lifetime Preview Special” airs November 17th at 10pm EST/PST on Lifetime.

Stay merry!

Back in July, the Hallmark Channel aired the “Christmas: A First Look” Preview Special hosted by Lacey Chabert that gave viewers a peek at some of the movies set to premiere on the network and sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this holiday season. It was very exciting to get a little snippet of what yuletide cheer was in store for all of us, but due to the high volume of interest as well as the amount of films set to debut, Hallmark will be airing another special to talk about some of the recently announced films.

“Christmas: A Second Look Preview Special” will provide a continuation of the sneak peeks for the Countdown to Christmas and Miracles of Christmas original movies and, this time, it will be hosted by Kellie Pickler. The country music top-charter will make her own Countdown to Christmas debut this November in “Christmas in Graceland”.

“Christmas: A Second Look” this Saturday, September 29th at 11PM / 10c on Hallmark Channel.

Stay merry!

Are you ready for another week of holiday surprises? Lifetime just revealed the line-up for their “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” holiday programming, and let’s just say…it ‘sleighs’.

In addition to 14 all-new original premieres, 9 acquired films will be airing throughout the holiday season. Not only will Lifetime have some serious yuletide cheer, but the films also feature many stars that will be bringing you some nostalgic holiday vibes this year–including that major “One Tree Hill” movie reunion I told you about this summer with Hilarie Burton, Danneel Ackles, Robert Buckley, Antwon Tanner and Tyler Hilton, and even more OTH stars in separate films–including Bethany Joy Lenz, Sharon Lawrence, Daphne Zuniga, Stephen Colletti and Shantel VanSanten.

The OTH cast members will also sit down for a festive holiday special with surprise guests!

Stars from “The Cosby Show” (Tempestt Bledsoe, Keshia Knight Pulliam), “Sister, Sister” (Tia Mowry-Hardict, Jackée Harry, Tim Reid) and “A Different World” (Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy) reunite for movies and “7th Heaven” (Barry Watson, Beverley Mitchell), “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” (Melissa Joan Hart, Carolina Rhea) and “Grey’s Anatomy” (Chandra Wilson, Sarah Drew, Loretta Devine) alums will be featured in solo films along the way — along with more big names like Toni Braxton, Tatyana Ali, Cheryl Ladd, June Squibb, Megan Hilty, and John Schneider among others!

When does it start? November 21 with new movies every Friday, Saturday and Sunday!  To help kick off the line-up, Melissa Joan Hart will host the “It’s A Wonderful Lifetime Preview Special” on November 17th.  Get more information the movies below and in the featured slideshow.

Last night, Hallmark Channel aired a sneak peek of the movies making their way to our television screens this holiday season with the “Christmas: A First Look” preview special hosted by Lacey Chabert alongside Hallmark Channel pet ambassador, Happy the Dog.

On the special, Lacey–clad in a fabulous red dress by The Kooples, talked about some of the new movies that will be premiering on Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Miracles of Christmas” holiday programming.

Check out what festive stories you can expect to see later this year–the countdown is on!

Here you will find a comprehensive list of all the holiday movies and specials that will be airing on US television during the Christmas season. Air dates are listed where possible, but if you see TBA (To Be Announced) 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 & 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!

Christmas in July is coming to Hallmark in just a few weeks, and it’s already shaping up to be quite the busy month for holiday movie lovers! While “Gold Crown Christmas Week” takes over the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network for 17 days on June 29th (see the schedule here), Hallmark Channel will celebrate “Christmas Keepsake Week”, a 2-week block of festive programming, from July 13th-28th. Basically, get ready to binge on Christmas movies!

During the line-up, Hallmark is also continuing the tradition of giving a sneak peek of what’s to come for Countdown To Christmas 2018 by airing “Christmas: A First Look Preview Special” on Saturday, July 21st at 10:00 pm/9:00 central, which will be co-hosted by Lacey Chabert and, network pet ambassador, Happy the Dog!

We normally get one original world premiere of a new Christmas movie during Keepsake Week but, due to the 34 movies premiering on the networks later this year, I think they wanted to build on the anticipation. In the meantime, enjoy seeing many favorites from years past plus all of the newer movies that premiered in 2017 during Countdown To Christmas.

Check out the full line-up below!

Are you looking to get a head start on holiday shopping this year? Look no further than QVC‘s 31st annual Christmas in July offerings! On July 1st, the iconic shopping network will dedicate their programming to getting you an early start into the most wonderful (and busy) time of the year before the hustle and bustle really sets off in a few months. You’ll be able to purchase decor, lights, toys, food, jewelry, more!

While most would deem buying Christmas decorations in the summer ‘way too early’ — and they’d rather be out by the pool or doing some other seasonal activity, when you think about parties, gift shopping, decorating, cooking, and other traditions while you’re in the midst of work and school in November and December, you might rest easy to know that you already got some of your shopping out of the way months prior. Get a sneak peek of what to expect here!

Check out the schedule of what’s to come on QVC this July!

It’s officially July, and you know what that means — it’s time for “Christmas in July” festivities and that means we’re gearing up for the week-long block of holiday original movies on Hallmark Channel for their annual Christmas Keepsake Holiday Preview Week airing from July 14th – July 23rd, which will coincide with the 2017 Ornament Preview at Hallmark stores.

I know some people like to wait until after Thanksgiving to binge Christmas movies, but I seriously count down to this event on Hallmark Channel every year. Sometimes I just need to quench my Christmas spirit while I give my holiday movie DVDs a break.

If you’re like me and can’t wait to watch Hallmark’s holiday line-up, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy checking out the full movie air-time schedule below!

Not all of the home shopping television networks are celebrating Christmas in July, but QVC definitely is! The iconic shopping station is offering a holiday must-have assortment with their “12 Days of Christmas” list – dozens of offerings every day! After you spend the day out enjoying Independence Day festivities, unwind in front of the television – or browse online – for stellar early Christmas details to help prepare you for the busiest time of the year. Visit www.qvc.com to see all of the jolly items!

But, wait, there’s more! QVC is also holding a major Christmas In July Sweepstakes in honor of their 30th Annual Christmas in July® Sale. You could win $30,000 or valuable weekly prizes from brands including Luminara Realistic Flame Effect Candle, HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin, Berkshire Blanket, Hallmark, Cheryl’s Cookies and Brownies and Harry London Chocolates during our Christmas in July® Sweepstakes, June 24 through July 31.
