Happy MAY 25th - 7 Months 'til Christmas! 🌟 Hallmark Patriotic Christmas Movies to #MarkThe25th - SEE HERE:


 ðŸŽ„ Merry *Mark the 25th*! ðŸŽ„




On each 25th day of the month, here at *It's a Wonderful Movie*, we highlight this special day as we Countdown to Christmas!

Since we are just days away now from the Memorial Day holiday, I decided to make a list of Hallmark Christmas movies with a military theme and choose one to watch.

If you'd like to join in - to celebrate the day - all you have to do is choose something Christmassy to watch TODAY! It doesn't have to be from the list below. It can be a Christmas movie, cartoon, family sitcom or anything you like. (There's only one stipulation - it must be family friendly.) Then, please share in comments below your Christmas choice for the day! I can't wait to hear what you picked!

I am personally choosing my pick to *Mark the 25th"...

I chose this movie, not only because I love the way it honors our military, but I also enjoy the enriching stories and heartfelt community Grace discovers after returning home from her time in service.

The movie features two wonderful Hallmark stars - Sean Faris and Eloise Mumford, who previously starred together in "Chistmas with Holly." By the way, Eloise Mumford will also be starring in an upcoming Hallmark *Summer Nights* movie - "The Baker's Son."


*A Veteran's Christmas is available on DVD separately, in a Christmas DVD collection and through Amazon Prime Video.

If you are looking forward to the Christmas movies airing on TV this week and in June & July - see the Christmas Movie Schedule - *HERE*!

Joyous Blessings to You All! Net

    1. Chris, It is actually a very brief scene. A man in the service comes to the tree lot to buy a tree. He shares he will be leaving for duty for 6 months.

  4. So many of these movies are great. For know I will go with 'Operation Christmas". One of my all time favorites.

  5. I will be watching Time For You To Come Home For Christmas. Love everything about this movie!

    Happy to hear Eloise Mumford is in The Baker's Son with Brant Daugherty. I will confess; when I saw Brant Daugherty I did not notice who his co-star was. He is a cutie!

  6. The Barbara Stanwyck-Dennis Morgan classic "Christmas in Connecticut" from 1945 is also centered around a veteran and is a truly classic screwball comedy also featuring Sidney Greenstreet and Cuddles Sakall. It's basically a template for Hallmark's Christmas-themed romantic comedies.

  7. Like others have said, so many good choices! I am going to go with Journey Back to Christmas, one of my favorite Candace Christmas movies.

    Everyone, please be safe this Memorial Day weekend and maybe say a special prayer of thanks to those who have served or are serving.

  9. Net - thanks for making this list of military Christmas movies. I've been wanting to keep track of these and your list made it a whole lot easier.

  10. Merry 25th, everyone! It's been a long time since I've joined in here.

    If not today, then sometime this week, I will watch USS Christmas. I'm keeping it on my DVR forever until they put it on DVD!!!

    1. Same here, Karen! I'm not deleting 'til I can get my hands on that DVD!!!!

    2. Karen T and Net, I have USS Christmas on my DVR too, but Comcast has informed us this week our DVR boxes have to be replaced. Keeping my fingers crossed to see USS Christmas and The Angel Tree DVD's released soon. Going to lose all my recordings. Not happy!

    3. kitkat... oh, NO NO NO! That's not cool. Have you googled to see if there is any way to keep your recordings? That's no fun, at all.

      Thank goodness Christmas in July (or June, in this case) is coming soon. Hopefully, both of the movies you mentioned and many more Christmas movies will be released on DVD real soon. I'll be hoping for you!

    4. Net, Comcast said there is no way to save my recordings. Miraculously, the boxes started working again so I am safe in the meantime. There are many on my DVR that I love and the DVD's have not been released.

  11. I’ll be watching the Christmas Card! Love this movie

  12. The Christmas Card has always been my favorite and I wish that they had made a part 2.

  13. "A Veteran's Christmas" for me too Net. Your picture collage totally won me over. How cute is that dog in the corner.

  14. I'm picking The Nine Lives of Christmas cuz I just love that movie. It's not military related but he is a firefighter, so thats sort of close.

    1. I agree with that... after all, Zachary is "a double hero" - for rescuing the cat and being an awesome fire fighter!

  15. I hope Hallmark and Lifetime plan another holiday movie that honors our troops this year. We could really use more of that these days. My pick is Write Before Christmas for all of the It's a Wonderful Life scenes. CJ

  16. The Christmas Card is my favorite.

  20. So do not CARE for The Christmas Card or the journey back to Christmas. They come on the TV goes off.

  21. 99% of people love The Christmas Card and I do like it but what I find so confusing is that if Faith is falling in love with Cody why is she so happy to immediately jump to accept her boyfriend's marriage proposal? - Florence
