Joyous Christmas Blessings,

Looks like another wonderful (and hopefully clean all the way through) lineup! (though, I'm not too happy about being interested in Kevin and Taylor's new movie).
ReplyDeleteReally surprising to see Dayspring's new movie at the main channel this year.
For 10 years now, this yearly lineup has always been the 1 I look forward to the most because of it's deep and more emotional stories, and I hope this year lives up to that exception. -Maria
Of the above on paper the ones that appeal to me are :
ReplyDeleteFive Gold Rings with Holland Roden and Nolan Gerard Funk
A Reason For The Season with Taylor Cole and Kevin McGarry
All I Need For Christmas with Mallory Jensen and Dan Jeannotte
Mallory and Dan are the best pairing but he is suffering family loss and I'm hoping beyond hope that his character hasn't been married before.
I think it's on this Channel that the new Jessica Lowndes movie is to aired but they're keeping the name of her co-star under wraps.
Also lovely to see Taylor Cole back.
The proof of the pudding will, of course be in the eating - last year a lot of what I was expecting to be good wasn't and vice versa.

Another wonderful lineup
ReplyDeleteTrading Up reminds me of a real story a few years ago. I'm sure it loosely inspired the idea.
ReplyDeleteMost of these sound great! Excited for mystery at Christmas time!

Are we going to see a Christmas Mysteries movie on Hallmark Mystery during the Miracles of Christmas?Similar to Murder She Baked:A Plum Pudding Mystery
ReplyDeleteNo Christmas movie for Michael Rady
ReplyDeleteApparently This Time Each Year is Alison Sweeney's 30th movie for Hallmark - Florence
ReplyDeleteSo far, in terms of what I can see, it appears as if HFAM may be planning on airing Christmas movies on the weekends during the time in which Hallmark brand’s Christmas programming is taking place. I can only see 3 days so far, Saturdays 10/19/24 & 10/26/24 & Sunday, 10/20/24. However, I can see when some of the movies will air again. Some of the movies are from the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. I know some of you, myself included, often wonder why the Hallmark brand doesn’t air more of its Christmas classics. Some of you have even contacted the brand about it. Well, thanks to those who have done that as it appears as if they are really listening. Merry Christmas! PS: I apologize as if this has already been mentioned/posted about.
ReplyDeleteI am the one who posted about HFAM. I don’t know if I commented here or above. I am aware that there are lots of people who don’t have HFAM. I still think it’s great that HFAM appears to be airing Christmas classic movies on weekends starting 10/19. If you get any Hallmark channels, please go to the Hallmark TV app on smart TV or other devices and see if you get more Hallmark channels, than you usually do when the live channels appear. You can also go to the top of any of Hallmark channels’ webpages, and you will see that one of the icons is Hallmark TV. Click on it. This is Hallmark’ TV’s everywhere function if you are familiar with that on other apps. What I think happens here is that the system doesn’t know which specific Hallmark networks you have just that you have access to the Hallmark Channel itself. So, for instance, if you only have the tier that includes Hallmark Channel, but your provider offers HM on a higher tier, you should be able to get HM on Hallmark TV. You can only watch the networks live via Hallmark TV., no DVR function. I don’t think you can put screen shots in comments, but if you could put them on here, and I knew how to do screenshots at all (Ha, Ha!), I would put them on here because I think visuals would be helpful. I believe that some people who don’t use apps may think this doesn’t help them or think that Hallmark Channel and Hallmark TV are the same thing, and they are not. If you are not using Hallmark TV, you are also missing out on catching a movie you may have missed or one you haven’t seen in awhile by streaming it free. The selection changes periodically. Besides Frndly TV and the other providers often mentioned, please remember if you pay for a tier on Peacock, you also get the live TV of the 3 networks plus a selection of streaming movies. If someone else is paying the bill, you may have forgotten that someone in your house has Peacock for sporting events, etc. Don’t you miss out on the opportunity to use it too! :) :). i am sorry that this is so long. and I know people have commented:Net has posted about these things, but I thought especially free Hallmark TV deserved another mention. Again, Merry Christmas!
