Hallmark Network is keeping its word

Hallmark Reveals Christmas Movie Schedule for 2020

By Philiana Ng‍ September 23, 2020


Fall may have just begun, but it's never too early to start getting into the Christmas spirit! With one month left to go before Hallmark kickstarts its annual holiday programming event on Oct. 23, the network has unveiled the full movie lineup, including the complete schedule, cast lists and plot summaries for its upcoming originals.

Even amid a pandemic, Hallmark will match last year's output of original holiday films with 40, as part of Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas" and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' "Miracles of Christmas." ET exclusively premieres promos for three of those new films, Hallmark Channel's Jingle Bell Bride and Chateau Christmas, as well as Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' Holly & Ivy.

Among its 40 movie premieres is The Christmas House, which will feature a main storyline about a married gay couple, played by openly gay actors Jonathan Bennett and Brad Harder, who are looking to adopt a child; a dedicated Hanukkah film, Love, Lights, Hanukkah!, about a restaurateur (Mia Kirshner) who discovers she's Jewish via a DNA test; and an increase in diverse leads. And like Lifetime (which will debut holiday movies centered on a gay couple and an Asian family), Hallmark has taken a step forward in its commitment to inclusivity within its storytelling and casting.

Are these the ones that for 90% of them feature the same plot? Eg fiesty female lead doesn’t enjoy Christmas / her boss puts her on the same project as an attractive widower with role model child / instant rivalry between the two / some kind of event forces them to spend Christmas together (power cut/snow storm) / her heart softens as she discovers the true meaning of Christmas and romance.

Hallmark does do Halloween, Harvest, and Thanksgiving movies as well, but the Christmas ones are what they are best known for.

Yes, and that's part of the fun. LOL There are people who have created drinking games and bingo games around the Hallmark Christmas movies. lol
