Celebrate Christmas in July with a Free Preview of Hallmark Channel

The countdown to Christmas is on, and Hallmark Channel is in free preview for Sling subscribers from July 7-10. Here's what to watch.

They say that Christmas comes but once a year. They also say that Christmas is in the heart, so we’re not really sure who to believe (come to think of it, benign deception is a BIG part of the holiday season). Regardless, we could all use a break from the heat in July, so let’s set aside our confusion and pretend the blazing sun is merely the spirit of Christmas arriving five months early to warm our hearths and hearts.

That’s better, isn’t it? This July, Sling is getting into the holiday season with Christmas in July on the Hallmark Channel, which will be in Free Preview for all Sling Orange, Blue, or Orange + Blue subscribers from July 7 to July 10. Best of all, Hallmark will premiere a brand-new original—A Royal Christmas Crush—during the free preview, on Saturday, July 8 at 8pm ET.

In addition to the new premiere, Hallmark will be spotlighting some of its most popular Christmas films as part of its “Christmas in July” stunt, along with the channel’s stable of uplifting originals. Here’s what to watch on Hallmark Channel during the Sling Freeview from July 7-10.
