Happy New Year and First Weekend of 2026!
If you’re not quite ready to pack away the Christmas decorations and movies just yet (same here!), then be sure to enjoy the last weekend of Christmas movies airing 24/7 on Great American Family - and almost nonstop on the Hallmark Channel, too!
And if you’re ready to ring in the new year with something fresh, warm, and tropical, Hallmark is kicking things off Saturday night with their first Winter Escape movie, "Lost in Paradise," starring Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding. Filmed in beautiful Fiji, this sunny rom-com is sandwiched between two of Lacey’s Christmas movie classics.
Plus, Hearties, I'm sure you've heard, but just in case... the all-new Season 13 of "When Calls the Heart" premieres Sunday night at its brand-new time, 8pm/7c. The countdown is on!

Happy New Year again, dear friends! May the Lord guide us and light our way in the year ahead, with His Spirit living in us and our actions reflecting His mighty love. I pray 2026 brings you much happiness and is filled with new and exciting possibilities!
Hope you have a little time to enjoy the new programming this weekend! I think the new rom-com, Lost in Paradise, looks like such a fun one, and I've always adored Lacey Chabert - she has the cutest, sweetest laugh! And her handsome co-star, Ian Harding, is typically very charming.
And, I'm very much looking forward to the 13th season of "When Calls the Heart!" I can't wait to return to Hope Valley, to the 1920s, to see all of my favorite characters again! (By the way, the "When Calls the Heart" marathon of past seasons continues throughout the weekend on Hallmark Family!)
🎉 Happy 2026! 🎉
God's Blessings to You All,
