Episodes will air nightly beginning that Sunday through Holy Thursday, April 1, with a full season marathon on Good Friday.

  1. What Easter programs are on Hallmark Channel?

    1. Chris, The Hallmark Channel doesn't typically do too much programming specifically for Easter.

      However, the Hallmark movie "Easter Under Wraps" will air at 11am/10c. on April 4th, Easter Sunday morning and there will be a new episode of "When Calls the Heart" that night.

  4. This is encouraging to see! I have both "The Passion Of The Christ" and the two "God's Not Dead" movies on DVD. Also "Finding Normal". MY DVR will be running a lot!

    If any of you have not seen "Finding Normal", Candace is fantastic in this. It is my favorite Candace movie!

    1. kitkat, It's been awhile since I've seen "Finding Normal," but I recall enjoying it, too. I believe there is a sweet scene with fireflies. (We call them lightning bugs here.) Candace is excellent in this role, and I like how she finds herself at home in this nice little town. I only wish it wasn't being played at 1 AM. Hope many can DVR it then!

    2. 1am really? Why bother? I’ll set my dvr but it’s too bad they aren’t playing Finding Normal at a time most people would be able to watch.

  5. I miss Candace doing movies like Finding Normal. I don't get why she has only been doing Hallmark Christmas movies.

    I hope people start giving up tv a chance.

  8. That's a perfect fit to air The Passion of the Christ on Good Friday. Like I was saying before The Passion of the Christ is the reason that we celebrate Good Friday. Do you know what Good Friday is?

    1. Chris, Yes, I agree, "The Passion of the Christ" is an ideal movie presentation for Good Friday, since the day commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

      I hope you have a blessed Easter!
