It is NOT a typo that I only listed three movies on the weekend of November 28-29. That is because HMM has not announced a Sunday night movie for that weekend. That doesn’t mean they won’t add something down the line, though. Can I cross my fingers and hope that Kristoffer Polaha is secretly filming a Christmas movie in Vancouver even as we speak that will end up in that spot?
Christmas Day eve, which is on a Friday this year, traditionally features the latest “When Calls the Heart” Christmas movie. However, this year they have opted not to do a holiday movie, instead choosing to do an additional two episodes of their upcoming Season 8.
One more programming note! Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has opted to air their movies at 10 p.m. in order to avoid being in direct competition with the Hallmark Channel movies. So unless you are a night owl, set your DVRs accordingly!
Lastly, given that each week there will be four movies to watch and review, I’m likely NOT going to be able to do four previews and four reviews each week. After all, I work full time AND host two podcasts AND have a family AND need to have time to watch all the movies! As such, I likely will pick one movie to preview each Friday (beginning next weekend) to focus a preview on, and then spend Monday through Thursday posting one review each day.
So get some good sleep tonight, because this weekend the madness (and fun) begins!
Hello Jane❣️💁♀️😃 Fantastic news. Totally Delighted! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️🎄🌺🌹🥂🍾☕️🎼💒💎🎊🛍🎈🎁🎉💌💖🎶🌐🎵🔔💟 Is this whole week (Oct.24-Nov.2) also Christmas movies?! I thought I read that Oct.24th to Nov.2 (the whole week) was a Hallmark Christmas movie every day?!
Yes, 24 hours a day. But they are not new movies – they are previously aired movies. Only the weekend evenings have new movies.
Yay❣️ 🔔💒🎄🌺🤶🏻 Some oldies I can watch over & over and Never Tire of them! 💟🎶🎊🌹🛍🎈🎁❣️🎵🎅🏻
I enjoy all the Hallmark movies. I am having a problem hearing the dialog because the background music is
sooooooo loud! Even happens during commercials quite often. Any solution?
Sadly, I have no idea how to correct as it is a problem with the network and/or how the movies were mixed. I bypass it by watching TV with captions on during the movies so I don’t miss anything.
Hallmark Christmas always being my favorite. It is time to be believed that love can find you in many unexpected ways and that there are good many things in our world. Forget our differences, religious, races.
Shed a few tears and believe that the miracle can happen to everyone.
Tears in my soul. That is Hallmark.
happy Christmas everyone. Be save.
Does anyone know the name of the Hallmark movie about an injured Army sergeant who rents a room from a widow. Can’t seem to find it and I would like to know when it will air again.
That’s 2013’s “Second Chances” starring Alison Sweeney. It next airs on Hallmark Drama on January 8, 2021.

Thanks Lois. I see now I did get those two swapped in my head.
Also, if you want the Christmas version of the same plot, then you want 2017’s “Christmas Homecoming.”
What is the Hallmark Movie title that is about a small town hotel run by a woman with a bakery and to save the hotel she enters a contest and a guy helps her to win keeping it
BJ, that was a movie not made for Hallmark, so I did not recognize it. However, I consulted with my crackerjack team of movie experts and they determined it was likely “A Christmas Recipe for Romance” from 2019, which appeared on another network. Here is the IMDb page about that movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11060704/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
What is the name of the movie about the rich girl whose attorney tells her that he money is gone and she will have to get a job. She and her mother get an apartment together, but actually the mother is behind all of this because she wants her daughter to learn how to live and be responsible?
That is not a Hallmark movie, so I had to consult with pals who watch the other networks. It is called “The Right Girl,” and was released in 2015.
Thanks,!
