My Grown-Up Christmas List (Premiere)
The Hallmark Channel will have three all-new Christmas movies premiering this month, the first of which, My Grown-Up Christmas List, premieres Sat. July 9, at 8pm ET. Starring Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace, the movie is about a journalist and a military servicemember who “share a special bond that grows between them over the course of several Christmases that they spend together and apart.” The following Saturday will feature the premiere of Campfire Christmas (starring Tori Anderson and Corbin Bleu), followed by Christmas in Toyland (with Vanessa Lengies and Jesse Hutch) on Saturday, July 23.
The Nine Kittens of Christmas
Christmas + romance + kittens!? There is no world in which this formula isn’t successful. A sequel to the 2014 Hallmark movie, The Nine Lives of Christmas, Brandon Routh, Kimberley Sustad, and George Harrison reunited last year for The Nine Kittens of Christmas. We could tell you the plot, but honestly, this is a Christmas romance with kittens – need we say more? Catch it on Sunday, July 10 at 8pm ET. You can also catch the original The Nine Lives of Christmas on Monday, July 11 at 10pm ET. For even more holiday movie magic, tune-in to the Hallmark Channel everyday in July between 10am ET and midnight for a non-stop Countdown to Christmas movie marathon.
A Christmas Miracle
If you’d prefer to watch on your own schedule, Hallmark Movies Now features dozens of Hallmark movies and shows on demand. A Christmas Miracle is one of their featured titles this month, and it’s the first of three Countdown to Christmas movies starring Tamera Mowry-Housley. Also featuring Brooks Darnell and Barry Bostwick, A Christmas Miracle is about a writer who “searches for a Christmas miracle to write about with the help of her son and the handsome staff photographer” after her boss steals her idea.
After the Freeview Weekend, you can add Hallmark Movies Now to your subscription for just $6 per month. Hallmark Channel is available as part of the $6 Lifestyle Extra pack, which also includes channels like VH1 and Magnolia Network.
