Hallmark Channel’s beloved “Countdown To Christmas,” will return in November 2014 with 12 new movies of Christmas!
Hallmark Channel’s beloved “Countdown To Christmas,” the #1 most treasured holiday destination by television viewers, returns and is bigger than ever with 12 new movies of Christmas and more than 1200 hours of quality family-friendly holiday themed programming.
Capitalizing on the success of last year’s “Countdown To Christmas,” where Hallmark Channel claimed the #1 movie of the week for seven consecutive weeks, the network will once again gift viewers with holiday-themed programming 24/7 beginning on Saturday, November 1st 2014.
As the industry’s holiday leader in original movies, specials and fan favorites, Hallmark Channel will build upon the success of last year’s robust campaign and bring audiences 12 new Original Holiday Movie World Premieres, a Hallmark Hall of Fame World Premiere and an even larger collection of viewers’ favorite holiday movies and specials.
New titles for 2014 include:
Angel On My Tree
Premieres: Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 8pm ET
Cowboy For Christmas
Premieres: Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 8pm ET
Northpole
Premieres: Saturday, November 22, 2014 at 8pm ET
We can’t wait! 🙂
Thank you very much for your support (and for tolerating the ads) - I appreciate it!
The press releases for 7 of the 12 new holiday movies coming up this Nov-Dec are out (as well as releases for the Halloween movie and other movies on the Hallmark Movie Channel). The titles covered are:
“Northpole” (of course! We all know about this one by now!)
“One Starry Christmas” (which, I think, might be what was formerly known as “A Cowboy for Christmas”)
“A Royal Christmas” (Lacey Chabert and Jane Seymour are in this one)
“A Cookie Cutter Christmas” (starring Erin Krakow)
“Signed, Sealed & Delivered Christmas”
“The Nine Lives of Christmas” (starring Brandon Routh)
“Angels and Ornaments”
NOT included in the current round of press releases (but are definite for 2014) are:
“Holiday Help”
“Mr. Miracle”
??”Christmas Candle” or something that looked similar to that title when it flashed by during a Countdown to Christmas commercial!
Also, so far there is no word on “Angel on My Tree,” so I wonder if the title was changed (to “Angels and Ornaments,” perhaps?) or if filming is still taking place on it, so no press release yet.
In any case, even if “Angel on My Tree” turns out to be a different movie from “Angels and Ornaments,” we would still need the title of the 12th movie! So there is room for one OR two more movies, the titles of which are unknown!
Thanks Mrs. C.
Count on me for whatever you need to get this done! I hope it gets our point across.
Don’t mess with CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!
I’m not sure if you all saw, but I mentioned in the comments over in the separate Christmas in July thread on this site that it appears that some people are getting the full, originally planned schedule of holiday movies, while others of us are getting the less extensive version (the 4 movies per day, Mon-Thurs schedule). It does not seem to be the same schedule for everyone — and the worst part is that the people who actually have the ’round-the-clock programming are the ones who seem to NOT want it! Lol. Those of us who want the all day/all night programming are not getting it!
I also mentioned that someone in the Community forums of the Hallmark Channel website said that, as far as she knew, the reduction in Christmas in July programming had more to do with “corporate” issues than with Hallmark. She said she thought it had something to do with an upcoming merger and having to fulfill a certain number of hours of programming (maybe that’s why certain markets or customers ARE getting the full schedule).
So it may not have been Hallmark’s choice/decision to reduce the schedule for some people, but we will probably never know exactly why it happened. I just hope that it had nothing to do with the complainers wearing Hallmark down.
I don’t know, it all seems so suspect to not let those of us who really love and enjoy Christmas in July know about the sudden schedule changes. All they had to do was post it on the web page.
Fair is fair, and although I do have both channels I still feel cheated somehow.
Can someone tell me why the Hallmark Channel ends Christmas in July at 9:00 P.M. my time and doesn’t start again until 1:00 P.M. the next day? Was it really that big of a deal to run Christmas in July as originally planned? Or did the negative feedback outnumber those of us who we’re looking forward to the programming as intended? Don’t get me wrong I’m still enjoying what I have access to, I just wish we could have had some say in the matter.
Maybe next year they can set aside a 24 hour period where WE the supporters of Christmas in July can actually vote on what movies WE want to SEE! How about it?
I absolutely agree. Happy we got more than a weekend of movies… but to put out a full schedule only to pull most of it last minute was a bummer. I’d love to be able to vote on what we’d like to see during Christmas in July. Great idea! I will pass that along to Hallmark. 🙂
I love the “Christmas line-up and “Christmas Lodge”, is one of my all time favorites, I’m really hoping to see it during the 2014 Hallmart Christmas movie list can’t hardly wait for October 31,2014
I have to admit — one of the things that I love most about the current Christmas in July movie marathon is the occasional commercial or preview of the larger Countdown to Christmas 2014!! Lol. I can’t explain it, but it fills me with glee to see the tiny 2-second clips of the new movies, and know that a whole 2 months of Christmas movie magic is on its way!
Am the only person who was hitting ‘pause’ when the screen with the titles of the new 2014 movies flashed by (it’s Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas TV ad, with a red backdrop — and in the red backdrop are the names of the new Christmas movies!)? Lol. I was desperately trying to read all of the titles!!
I could be wrong and I could have missed a few things, but here is what I was able to piece together about the coming movies in this year’s Countdown — both from Hallmark’s own TV ad and from other snippets found online:
1. “One Starry Christmas” (a video preview of which is up on the Hallmark Channel website right now) seems like it could be the new name for “A Cowboy for Christmas.” It looks like the same plot, so I am guessing the original name was changed;
2. “Holiday Help” (have not heard of this one);
3. “A Royal Christmas” (we knew about this one already);
4. “A Cookie Cutter Christmas”?? I think I saw that title or a similar title flash by in the Hallmark ad;
5. “Northpole” (at this rate, everyone knows about it!);
6. “Nine Lives of Christmas” (this looks to be a movie starring Brandon Routh…and a cat);
7. “______ts and Ornaments” (I could not see the first word in the title. Could it be “Lights and Ornaments”??);
8. Something that looked very much like “Christmas Candle,” or it had the word “Candle” in it, but I could be wrong;
9. “Mr. Miracle” (I didn’t see that title on TV, but it is already known about);
10. I saw “Signed, Sealed and Delivered” flash by onscreen — could there be a SS&L Christmas movie scheduled for the Countdown this year?; and
11. “Angel on My Tree” (I didn’t see this in Hallmark’s ad but I learned about on THIS wonderful website)!!
Even if all of those titles are correct (and assuming that “Angel on My Tree” is not the same movie as “______s and Ornaments,” there is still something missing from the line-up. I think there should be at least one more movie in the Countdown, if not 2.
I’m so excited — October 31st is when the fun begins! After the July event ends, we have 3-1/2 more months to build up excitement for the main event!
I love Christmas in July from Hallmark Channel. Its already a tradition with my mom to see all these movies all week long. We can’t wait for Countdown to Christmas movies.
