Countdown to Christmas Schedule
From the last weekend in October until January 1st, Hallmark Channel runs the seasonal block called Countdown to Christmas, featuring a mix of holiday movies, specials and holiday-themed original programming. Countdown to Christmas officially began in 2009, while the channel’s first holiday original movie was aired in 2000. Since 2012, the network has also held a “Christmas in July” event with airings of previous movies. In February 2019, it was announced that in honor of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Countdown to Christmas event, the channel would air selections of movies on Friday nights throughout the year. “Christmas Fridays” on Hallmark is continuing in 2023.

Are there any plans to make another movie(s) starring Katie Findlay and Wyatt Nash. These two show a lot of chemistry and been in two great movies, The Bridge and Love Strikes Twice which were both very enjoyable. These two actors seem to work very well together
My mother and I would like to watch Crashing through the snow, when will the show air again and when will it be available on DVD?
This movie is available for free on YouTube.
My husband and I love Hallmark especially the Christmas movies. One of our favorites is the Christmas Card. Will you be airing it in 2023? We had it on our DVR to watch over and over but for some reason it is no longer there. Please let me know. Please consider putting it on this year. Hallmark and Hallmark Mysteries are our go to show. Thanking you in advance. Ann Adams
Disappointed they are not showing The Angel Tree
When can I watch A HOLIDAY Spectacular in 2023?
Thank you for Christmas in July. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. One of my favorite movies is A Royal Christmas and a Crown For Christmas.
Disappointed they only showed The most wonderful time of the year it is our very favorite Hallmark movie.
The HAPPIEST TIME OF THE YEAR (Christmas In July!)
I noticed scenes from “A Holiday Spectacular” were used in advertising the summer 2023 Hallmark ‘Christmas movies’ — when is it airing? I don’t see it listed with Christmas in July titles… ???
Trish, A Holiday Spectacular is scheduled to air July 21st.
Please show every movie that Tyler Haynes is in. I simply adore him. I try not to miss any of his movies.
