It’s the most wonderful time for Hallmark Christmas movies!
Listen, y’all. I used to think Hallmark movies were ridiculously cheesy and pretty cliché. But then a few years ago, I got sucked into the universe of happy, fluffy, and sometimes tear-jerking movies of the Hallmark world. After a year like 2020, we all need something a light-hearted and fun these days, grab a blanket, a cup of hot cocoa and turn on a Hallmark Christmas movie!
If you don’t have the Hallmark Channel or Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, there are options out there! You can sign up for a month of Sling, Philo, or FrndlyTV which offers all three Hallmark channels. I personally use Philo and if you use my link, you can get $5 off your first month! The Hallmark Movies Now app also offers hundreds of Hallmark movies from past years for about $6 a month.
I asked my die-hard Hallmark-loving friends for their recommendations and here is a list of favorite Hallmark Christmas movies.
The Timeless Classics
- Snow Bride
- Nine Lives of Christmas
- Two Turtle Doves
- A Very Merry Mix Up
- Trading Christmas
- Miss Christmas
- Signed Sealed Delivered For Christmas
- Note: While you can watch this movie alone, it makes more sense watching the series in order. You can watch the entire Signed, Sealed, Delivered canon on the Hallmark Movies Now app. And I have to plug this movie because it’s my personal favorite!
