    I am so disappointed to not get to see The Christmas Card. It is my favorite. They repeat movies and I don’t get the new hallmark channel. I would like to see a weekend of all their Christmas movies without repeating. Sad, Charlene

      If you have Netflix, The Christmas Card is available on there……I was so glad to see it there when Hallmark moved it to their other channel which we don’t have. Has to be my most favorite Christmas movie of all time.

    “The Christmas Card” should play on regular Hallmark Channel. Can’t understand why it’s not.

    Thanks

        I agree that the “Christmas Card” should be played every year (just like White Christmas and the other popular Christmas movies). It touched my heart and I never get sick of seeing it when it comes on Hallmark Channel.

    I love the “Christmas Card”. I watch it every time you put it on. I bought the DVD also. I think Barnes & Noble sell it. I was sorry to see that you are only playing it once in the July series. TOO BAD!!! This movie is the best of the bunch —- just so wonderful!!! What happened to all the Lacey Chabert and Candace Cameron Bure movies. They are also awesome!!! JUST LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!

    I think “The Christmas Card” movie should be played every year during Christmas season. It’s an awesome movie but it also remembers our Brothers and Sisters in the Military. Just a thought.

    And yes, please ask them to make a sequel to The Christmas Card. We have 2 Marine sons and we gravitate to military involvement in a Hallmark movie. The Christmas Card is about love and respect, integrity and honor and selflessness. More, please!!!!

      I certainly hope when you are planning the 2015 Christmas lineup you take into consideration all of the requests for The Christmas Card to b be shown multiple times on the REGULAR Hallmark Channel. You have great programming and I hope that the viewers have a say in next year’s plans!

    Disappointed that The Christmas Card is not being shown on Hallmark Channel this year. Getting tired of the same movies being repeated.

    Very very disappointed in Hallmark’s decision not to air this on the regular Hallmark Channel. I can’t get the other channel and look forward to this wonderful movie EVERY year. Very very disappointed this year.

    I am so very disappointed! I wait for Hallmark’s Christmas movie line-up each year & ‘The Christmas Card” isn’t on this year! Why??? Instead of showing the same dozen or so over & over & over again – why wouldn’t you play the loved & cherished movies of years past? They would mix in nicely with the newer ones & be something to look forward to, rather than to check what’s on HM only to see it’s the same one you’ve already seen 4,5,6 times this season, then opt to look for a different channel. I really think it would be good business. People seem to pick 1 or 2 really special shows each year that they’d like to be able to count on seeing each season. Last night was the 50th year of airing of “Rudolph” & I have watched it every year & have not tired of it! When you have something good – use it. Bring the older ones back, Please.

      Hi Alice, Hallmark opted this year to air The Christmas Card on their other network “Hallmark Movies & Mysteries” as opposed to the regular Hallmark Channel. A LOT of people have expressed disappoint over this choice so hopefully next year they switch it back.

        I called the cable company (TWC) here in upstate, NY and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is on channel 629 but would have to go to the guide channel and check to see if it is and when it shows The Christmas Card. Still is a pain to go back and forth to watch Christmas movies and the same movies are on both channels. Pathetic!

      I agree with all the others. I think your marketing department and programming schedulers really screwed up on this. Who, if not us the viewers, keeps your channel alive and on the air? Why do we not have a say and you not hear all of the complaints and requests? Companies complain when they lose viewers, money and respect. Well??? Have you not heard anything that has been posted here? I am SURE there are plenty of others who for whatever reason, either have no computer access, no time due to family and other responsibilities or just figure it is a waste of time to even tell you because you don’t LISTEN TO US!!!! You are on the air and in business to service the consumer and viewer – how about giving us what WE WANT? I agree there are many beloved movies and programs and like others I enjoy the well awaited favorites like Rudolph and look forward to the newer favorites from years past. I do hope that you and your marketing and programs director give this some quick and much needed consideration!
