Christmas Comes to the Hallmark Movie Channel, too!

The Hallmark "Movie" Channel will be giving Viewers

this Christmas Season...

Something Old, Something New,

Something Borrowed,

and Something from 5th Avenue!

Available on DVD

Again this year, the Hallmark Movie Channel will be airing many Hallmark Christmas Movies and "Something New" - their new film, "Christmas with Tucker" on November 25th. This is a prequel to the Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie, "A Dog Named Christmas."

Along with this new movie, the Hallmark Movie Channel will air Classic Christmas Film Favorites: "Holiday Affair," "Christmas in Connecticut," "The Bishop's Wife," "Babes in Toyland," and as I alluded to before, "It Happened on 5th Avenue."
