🌟🎄 More the Merrier! See 6 New Christmas Movies This Weekend on Great American Family, Hallmark & UPtv!!!




Happy Christmas Movie Watching, Friends! ❤️🎄

We're in for another BIG weekend of Christmas movie premieres, and this one is the biggest lineup yet! The Christmas movie excitement just keeps growing, with Great American Family premiering TWO new movies for the first time this season, Hallmark Channel bringing us THREE more premieres, and UPtv adding ONE more to the festive fun!

And what a fun variety of stories we have coming our way! One movie takes us to the Christmas wonderland of Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri (which sounds like such a delightful setting!), another brings together cherished Christmas memories and a heartfelt tribute to our military, while another reminds us that sometimes the best gift we can give our family is putting down our screens and spending more time together. And that's just part of what's in store!

New Movies Coming to the Hallmark Channel in 2027... with Tyler Hynes, Kim Matula, Lacey Chabert, & More



Hallmark Media announced today a new movie coming in 2027 starring Tyler Hynes and Kim Matula!

Tyler delivered the news while casually sitting next to a sleeping camel. Their new movie, titled "Here's Looking at You, Kit," is coming to the Hallmark Channel in 2027 as part of the network's Winter Escape lineup, and rumor has it that it is being filmed in Morocco.




The title of the film, "Here's Looking at You, Kit," of course, instantly reminded me of that iconic line from Humphrey Bogart in the classic movie Casablanca: "Here's Looking at You, Kid." That film wasn't filmed in Morocco; however, the setting of the film is set in the city of Casablanca in French Morocco.

It should be interesting to see if there are more similarities between this Hallmark movie and the 1942 classic film.


And there's more Hallmark movie news!




Taylor Cole and Wes Brown are teaming up for a new Hallmark Channel movie, and this one will have a golf theme! Taylor shared the exciting news during a behind-the-scenes panel hosted by JustJared.com at the 2026 Hallmark Christmas Cruise. While the movie is still under wraps and hasn't been officially announced by Hallmark just yet, Taylor let this little bit of news slip early.



And in case you haven't heard, Hallmark hasn't revealed this news yet, but Just Jared revealed weeks ago that Lacey Chabert is also filming abroad. She was spotted in Venice, Italy, filming with Josh Bowman. The film is expected to be part of Hallmark's Winter Escape.


Stay tuned for more movie news!

Happy Movie-Watching,
