Plan Your Holiday Watch List With These New Christmas Movies From Hallmark, Netflix & More
The holiday season is upon us, and TV networks are wasting no time getting their post-Halloween programming on air. New TV Christmas movies have already begun to premiere on Hallmark, which is dropping a new holiday flick per week this season. With so many to keep track of, we’ve compiled a convenient schedule in the form of a printable holiday movie calendar (the top of the page includes instructions on how to download and print the schedule).
The schedule includes holiday movies and specials, including those from Hallmark Channel, Hallmark+, Great American Family, Lifetime, UPtv, BET+, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Hulu, Roku Channel, Apple TV+, NBC, CBS, and more. But here’s a detailed breakdown of some of the titles listed on the calendar for your future reference.
Hallmark‘s biggest stars are all coming out with new titles this season. The brand new reality series Celebrations stars Lacey Chabert and is a celebration of everyday people, with new episodes airing Thursdays on the newly launched Hallmark+. It’s Hallmark’s first-ever reality series, and it debuted on September 10. Catch more of the celebrations weekly.
Alison Sweeney’s 30th Hallmark movie, This Time Each Year, debuts on Hallmark Mystery on October 24 at 8/7c. Here’s the description. It stars Sweeney as Lauren, who despite a trial separation pretends to still be with her husband, Kevin, to placate her overbearing mother. The ruse may be just what the couple needs to finally work on their marriage.
If you loved Netflix’s One Day, Jordan Fisher and Katie Findlay star in The 5-Year Christmas Party, which tells the story of a couple over five years of their lives but doesn’t have the gut-wrenching twist seen in the Netflix tear-jerker.

In it, Bennett searches for Hallmark’s next hunk by challenging 10 men to compete in a series of festive challenges that showcase their acting chops and holiday spirit.
Over on Netflix, Meet Me Next Christmas premieres on November 6 and stars Christina Milian as Layla, who’s on a quest to meet the man of her dreams. The hopeless romantic races across New York City to find a ticket to a sold-out Pentatonix Christmas concert during her search.
