Your Complete 2022 Hallmark Christmas Movie Schedule for *All* the Corny Love Stories
Meet this year's holiday romance royalty. (In one case, literally!)
If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, I have ~astoundingly~ good news for you: The channel is gifting us with 40 new holiday-centric films we can watch and rewatch before, during, and after the big day. (For me, the actual holiday season ends in February, not sorry.) If you're wondering, that's 39 Christmas movies, one Hanukkah film—and the channel's first depicted celebration of Kwanzaa. And some of them look like genuinely delightful premises, so prepare yourself.
As part of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas, we've got a number of acting legends gracing our screen. We've got Full House's Jodie Sweetin, Bro's Luke Macfarlane, Sister Sister's Tamera Mowry-Housley, horror icon Bruce Campbell, and Mean Girls' Lacey Chabert (who is the Hallmark queen now) and Jonathan Bennett (queer holiday romance, yes pls!). And that's just to name a few!
As of RN, not all the trailers are available, but keep an eye out if you want a sneak peek of your upcoming new fave. Go ahead and skim through this list now so you can bookmark the ones with the plots and actors that look the most appealing to you. (Sets TV to record Hanukkah on Rye immediately. It has Yael Grobglas from Jane the Virgin in it!) Also, we have a guide on how to stream these at home if you've missed them the first time they aired. Just think of it as a lil Christmas present from us!
