Season’s Greetings (UP Premiere Movie) – Sunday, December 11 at 7 pm ET
Darcy Blake (Laura Bell Bundy) has the perfect job – she works for Harrington House, a successful greeting card company, in the editorial department. Writing heart-felt, meaningful copy for cards is very important to Darcy, especially at Christmas, which was important to her as a young girl. She realizes that she is a bit out of step with her fellow millennials, but that is fine with Darcy. Everything is about to change when Andrew Harrington arrives at the company to take over from his grandfather, and he has a very different view of the business and of the holidays.

Stay tuned for more details!!!
I am sure they are better and more appropriate for UP than "Naughty & Nice".
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm hopeful these will all be family friendly! 'Naughty & Nice' was certainly a different type of movie for UP.
DeleteThere was nothing inappropriate about Naughty or Nice
DeleteInteresting! So it's the 6 movies we already knew about. I thought they would add a 7th movie (I think they had 7 new ones in 2015, did they not?) and surprise us with a title we were not expecting.
ReplyDeleteNo surprises at all, at least not for us!
Yeah, it's the 6 we anticipated, Sherry. And, you are right, I just looked it up on my Christmas Movie page, there were 7 last year...
DeleteRodeo & Juliet, Christmas Trade, A Dogwalker's Christmas Tale, Angels in the Snow, My One Christmas Wish, Beverly Hills Christmas, A Baby for Christmas
As far as original movies go, UP really scaled back during the year, so I'm glad to see them do as many Christmas movies as there are.
Hopefully now, we can juggle watching all these Christmas movies, on all the networks!!! :)
Great to hear from you, Sherry! :)
Blessings!!! Net
7 movies and 1 Christmas special last year and announced around the she time
DeleteI hadn't heard of the last one. Great to see more movies to check out!
ReplyDeleteMisty
Agree, Misty! They all sound intriguing this year and I always love more Christmas movies! More the Merrier!!! :)
DeleteGreat site which I have only recently discovered and is now my #1 stop for new TV Movies.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have the news almost before it's released!
Being from the UK it all depends on if and how quickly our supplier gets the movies. All the Hallmark and Lifetime ones become available but not all UP, ION, PixL etc.
At least with this wonderful site we'll now at least be aware of new product which airs on channels other than Hallmark or Lifetime.
It can be anything from 2 weeks to 2 months after they air that we receive them (aren't the vagaries of the post wonderful?)so sometimes we have a good few Christmas Movies to watch well into the New Year.
Of these UP Movies the ones which appeal and hope to get:
Married By Christmas
A Puppy For Christmas
Girlfriends Of Christmas Past
Season's Greetings
Do you watch Movies 24th? I here that's the channel in the UK to watch Hallmark, Up TV, and PixL movies
DeleteI've never heard of Movies 24th before! I order them on DVD from the US.
DeleteI'm going to check this out - many thanks for the info.
Movies24 not 24th darn auto correct!
