❤️🏈✨Kick Off Your February Weekend with LightHEARTed Rom-Coms, When Calls the Heart, Classic Christmas Movies, and More to Love!

(click here to enlarge image)

Happy first full weekend of February, everyone! 💕

February is the month of Valentine’s Day, cozy romances, and a little extra heart! And this weekend is packed with lots of it!

This Saturday, the Hallmark Channel kicks off February with its very first Loveuary movie, while Great American Family is airing the cable premiere of a sweet, lighthearted, romantic-comedy.

And not only is romance in the air, it’s also *Game On* this weekend with the Olympics and the Super Bowl.

A quick reminder for all of you, Hearties... When Calls the Heart will air episode 6 a day early on Saturday, due to the Super Bowl game on Sunday.

A really sweet thing about this upcoming episode is that the new Mountie visiting Hope Valley is Austin Landon, son of When Calls the Heart Producer Michael Landon, Jr., and grandson of Michael Landon (Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza). With both his father and grandfather having roles in period dramas, it’s wonderful to see Austin continue the family tradition. (Austin is pictured above in a Mountie uniform next to Kevin McGarry.)

I also wanted to mention that Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie) is also supposed to return for this episode, although she is not included in any of the press photos or promos released for this episode.

On Sunday afternoon, Great American Family will warm hearts with the Great American Rescue Bowl, featuring the most adorable dogs and cats in need of adoption and a “fur”ever home- hosted by Beth Stern and Trevor Donovan. 🐾❤️

💐Hallmark's New Unscripted Wedding Series

( Erin Cahill on Mom's the Bride. 

image credit: Eliza Morse/Hallmark Media ) 

Interesting news from Hallmark! Earlier this week, it was revealed that Hallmark would be scaling back on their unscripted series, which the network refers to as "reality TV with heart."

This news originated from an article from RealScreen, which shared that Hallmark plans to focus on a "limited number of specials and limited series at impactful times throughout the year, versus a full concurrent slate."

Viewers are, of course, mixed on the topic. Some viewers enjoy these heartfelt, real-life stories, while others tune in primarily for Hallmark’s beloved movies.

Well, interestingly enough, yesterday another brand-new unscripted Hallmark series was announced via People: "Erin Cahill Is Ready to Bring the Joy to Mother-Daughter Duos as She Hosts Hallmark's New Wedding Show."

People revealed in their article that Erin Cahill (Love, Fall, & Order, A Timeless Christmas, Christmas at the Catnip Café) will "host the limited, six-episode unscripted series Mom's the Bride (working title), and this new show is set to premiere in May on Hallmark+." (Hallmark's streaming platform)

Also, according to People, "Each episode will follow an adult woman as she plans her mother's dream wedding — with a little help from Cahill and Hallmark. The series will flip the script on the traditional “mother of the bride” role and honor the mother-daughter bond."

So... what do you think, Hallmark+ streamers? Will you be tuning in for this new unscripted wedding series?

Have a Blessed Day,

🔎 New Premiere Coming to Hallmark Mystery in March

Hallmark Mystery is back on the case with a brand-new movie premiere, and it’s been a long wait!

Alison Sweeney returns to sleuthing in "Sugar & Vice: A Hannah Swensen Mystery"!

The last time this channel aired a brand-new mystery was way back in May of 2025, so spotting this title on the schedule felt like uncovering a long-awaited clue.

Also, while we were used to Hallmark Mystery debuting new mysteries/movies on Thursday nights, this one is changing things up with a Friday premiere instead.

And more great news... this new "Hannah Swensen Mystery" is not the only mystery news for March. Hallmark is also listing another premiere- "Nelly Knows Mysteries: All Manners of Murder," airing on Saturday, March 14th. If the schedule holds, mystery fans are in for a delightfully suspicious weekend. Update: The new "Nelly Knows" will also premiere on Hallmark Mystery.

See the details on "Sugar & Vice: A Hannah Swensen Mystery" below...


Sugar & Vice: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

Premiere Date: Friday, March 13, 2026, at 8/7c

Storyline: Hannah finds a body at the grand re-opening of the Lake Eden Inn. When a storm traps everyone inside, Hannah must find the culprit before the road clears and the killer escapes.
