Hallmark’s Christmas Movie Schedule for 2021 Is Full of Jolly-Good Cheer

We can always count on Hallmark to get us in the holiday spirit. And while, the network is known to spread cheer during the off-season, they fully embrace, as they call it “24/7 yuletide,” with back-to-back Christmas movies the moment that October rolls around. This year, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are doubling up on the festive fun, airing 41 brand-new Christmas movies from October 22 to Santa’s arrival. Each Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, kick things off with Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” at 8 p.m. ET/ PT, then follow it up with Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Miracles of Christmas” at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Saturday nights. The holiday season — or shall we say, Hallmark movie-watching season — is jam-packed with sugary-sweet romances, highly-anticipated reunions (psst, Back to the Future and Wonder Years fans) and all of your Hallmark favorites (Candace Cameron Bure, Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar, Tamera Mowry-Housley, to name a few).We’re still a few weeks out from the kickoff date, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to prepare for what’s to come (FYI, here’s how to watch).
