Here's Hallmark Channel's Full Christmas Movie Schedule for 2018

37 brand-new holiday films are coming your way.

BY JENNIFER ALDRICH


If you're not already in the holiday spirit, you're about to be because the Hallmark Channel is gearing up to kick off their packed "Countdown to Christmas" movie lineup.

Hallmark will begin its annual event with a special preview starring Kellie Pickler on October 20, followed by the premiere of Christmas at Pemberley Manor on Saturday, October 27. Hallmark Movies and Mysteries will begin their own festive fun with Marrying Father Christmas on Sunday, November 4.

1. There are many who wait for months to see these (ur, um at least six months, since they run in July

as well...) While I'm not one of them, I still hope others enjoy...

[Kajun Gal]

2. It ain't right!!!!!

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Oh great. I've had enough of xmas and its commercialism to last me the rest of my life.

Never again.

[Sherman A1]

4. Fantastic!

I can keep the remote handy to avoid the Hallmark Channel for then, now and the future.

[mitch96]

25. I think I've seen every H'mark xmas and "fall" movie yet...

I put up with them to keep the peace... Pumpkin spice comes to mind.. Longing looks too..
Oh yea... one kiss at the end of the program....... ugh

5. One year I unexpectedly found myself with out family or friends in town on Thanksgiving...

So I got a Turkey dinner takeout and some wine and spent the day with Hallmark having a good and deep sentimental wallow.

Strangely therapeutic for a cynic such as myself. Still find it odd, but do not begrudge them for what they bring to others who need the fantasy.

Never have watched it again, but will if I need a solitary wallow.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. One year I couldn't deal with family stuff, so booked a flight to Edinburgh. Best trip ever...

with no tourists messing it up.

No turkey in Scotland, though, so had Thanksgiving haggis.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Does that mean they'll lose those quirky murder mystery shows?

[catbyte]

17. I think starting November 4, it's all Christmas movies all the time.

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Yikes! At least I have 450 other channels (20 of which I watch)

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Yes, and those are the ones I watch when the news gets to be too much for me

I used to watch Murder, She Wrote with my grandmother. I like the mystery shows - most of them - I have no interest in Christmas romance movies and this crap goes on for three months!

[Control-Z]

8. My daughter did one of Hallmark's

Christmas movies last year. She's a young set designer and had been in LA less than a year so it was a really big deal for her.

I recorded the movie so I could watch it at my leisure. And I tried to watch it. I really did. At least 3 different times. But I never made it all the way through. I finally fast forwarded to the end so I could see her name in the credits. Lol.

I think my daughter just skipped through the movie to see her sets and her name. Even though we laughed about how bad the movie was it didn't dampen our excitement. Her name looked really great in the credits!

[IrishEyes]

9. It was good of you to try.

A job is a job in the film business. Many years ago, my aunt had a small part in a dumb testosterone packed action film that I would never have watched normally. Everyone in my family rented it when it came out and fast forwarded to her small scene. I don't think anyone watched the whole thing.

Its nice if someone likes hallmark film but they are just not for me. I have tried watching a couple.

[onetexan]

10. There are all white villages and no people of color in hallmark movies

Does anyone notice this besides me? The contents are so hoky and syrupy i cant stomach it.

[elfin]

13. Take note - usually at least one non-white character

Sometimes even two.

[lapfog_1]

28. There is almost always a token POC

usually a best friend or neighbor... and they might as well be white.

[LisaM]

31. They've gotten better on that, can't say it's good, but there's definitely an uptick.

I've seen a couple of interracial relationships, and Lifetime had one where not only was there an interracial relationship, most of the cast was black and there were just a few white people.

I'd prefer more diversity and even some same sex partnerships, but at least they're evolving that way.

[vercetti2021]

14. Look at my response lol

[onetexan]

30. sorry didn't see earlier- funny how we posted just a minute apart LOL

Love the SNL skit. If i squint real hard during those sappy movies maybe i can pick out the 1 person of color whose either a trusty sidekick or a non-speaking crowd filler. I guess that counts for something in the Hallmark world of mostly all things white

[3catwoman3]

11. I happen to like sappy, happy ending Hallmark Christmas movies.

My 3 favorites are:

A Very Merry Mixup
A Princess For Christmas
A Crown For Christmas (Rupert Penry-Jones - mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm!)

[catbyte]

16. Well, yeah, but not before Halloween & Thanksgiving! 😀

[avebury]

23. Have you watched Rupert Penry-Jones

in MI-5? A very different role for hom.

[3catwoman3]

24. I haven't. I'll add it to my...

.."to do" list. Thanks!

[avebury]

34. It is a great show with

10 seasons if I remember right. He joins the show in the later years. Look it up in IMDB and you might find that you recognize several of the actors that appeared in the show over the years.

[vercetti2021]

12. 37 unoriginal Christmas movies!

With all the same plot staring an old has been child star and takes place in white city with one or none black characters. Sounds like a conservative paradise. I hate these movies for their lack of originality. Mean hell SNL made a spoof pointing it all out.

[ploppy]

19. Oh look!

It's James Franco making fun of Hallmark movies.

[vercetti2021]

20. Funny he did do a lifetime movie at one point

Same station owner.

[spooky3]

32. That's hilarious! Thanks. nt

[ploppy]

18. I would much rather watch

Hallmark Christmas movies that our hideous president on the news. 24/7 Hallmark movies for 3 months got me through the post election blues after November 2016.

[pansypoo53219]

22. the war on christmas is real, but it was santa + crapitalism, not the left.

santa won. bah humbug.

[enid602]

26. Movie

I like to drink copiously during the movie, and then call everyone I know afterward.

[Va Lefty]

27. Ho! Ho! Ho!

[stopbush]

29. Who watches that crap?

[calguy]

33. My Wife watches that crap

she watches every one just as I am watching every football game. She also watches every one when they run them all again for their "Christmas in July" programming.

Do I watch that crap? HELL NO!!

[stopbush]

35. So sorry for you.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. Tell me about it! I watch Hallmark Mysteries when the news gets too much for me

I like Murder, She Wrote, Monk, Dick Van Dyke - even a couple of the mystery movies aren't too bad. But these aren't mysteries, who are they supposed to appeal to?? And they did the same damn thing back in July! I am not ready for Christmas, nor winter, and these look like "romance" movies to me - Leave that to Lifetime where they belong!

[edbermac]

38. My sisters watch Hallmark and Lifetime channels.

While I resist the urge to grab a sledgehammer.
