Happy 4th of July Weekend! Celebrate America with these Patriotic TV Movies, Marathons & Musical Programs!


Movie Images: Hallmark Crown Media

Happy Birthday America!

I hope you all have a very nice 4th of July weekend! Whether you are able to visit family and friends, enjoy some barbecue, a picnic, desserts and fireworks or simply take some time to relax, I pray we all remember the reason we celebrate this day… our Military and our Freedom! This year I believe having our freedoms and living in a land of democracy and security means even more.

When I hear our National Anthem play, I am filled with gratefulness as I think of all of the sacrifices made by our military and their families, so we can be free today.

To celebrate and honor America, I’ve gathered together some of the specials, festivities, movies, and more- that will be airing this weekend on TV. See them all below...

*image via: Hallmark Crown Media Family Networks

Storyline via Hallmark: When singer/songwriter Charlotte meets Matt she’s entertaining the troops, and he’s starting his third tour. Charlotte’s brother Eric is deploying too, and she’s off to ignite her career. Fast forward three years and three albums later, and Charlotte is home for Christmas, Eric announces plans to reenlist, and Matt, turned civilian, is working for Operation Homefront. Everyone enjoys being together, especially Matt and Charlotte, whose romance is aflame. But when she’s asked on a Christmas Special in Nashville on the 23rd, she’s torn. Hopefully Matt and Charlotte’s love can survive, especially when a photo of Charlotte and her ex surfaces.

They spend time together helping Darcy’s mother plan a Christmas charity gala and realize the hasty judgments they made on one another in high school may be incorrect. As they spend more time together, Darcy feels a connection with Luke and begins to suspect he brings her more happiness than her job in the city or her one-time boyfriend, Carl. As Christmas approaches and her time at home nears its end Darcy must decide where she wants to spend her future – and with whom.


*Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe is available at Amazon on DVD or Streaming Prime Video!



🌟🌟🌟



Hope you enjoy ALL of the Christmas movies airing this week!

MY PICK of the Week:

I must say - I like all three! The music is truly beautiful in Angels and Ornaments and A Homecoming for the Holidays, plus I like how they honor our military in the latter. Broadway star Laura Osnes truly shines in this Christmas movie, alongside Stephen Huszar ("Ruby Herring Mysteries")!

On Friday night, I wouldn't dream of missing Lacey Chabert in the Jane Austen inspired, Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe! Lacey and Brendan Penny make such a sweet pairing in this delightfully lighthearted, Hallmark Christmas movie. I find myself cheering for them and hoping their friendship becomes something more!

By the way, be sure to note the recent time change on the Hallmark Channel on Friday nights. The Christmas movies have been moved up to 8pm/7c.!

What is your Christmas movie pick of the week?

Be sure to check my Christmas TV Schedule for even more Christmas movies airing in March and April!

*Please Note: I have not previewed all of the movies above; therefore, I don't know, yet, if they will all be family friendly. Please be sure to check ratings and use your own discretion when watching. And if you see any content of concern, please share in comments below.


I hope you all enjoy this first full weekend of December! There are certainly lots of new holiday movies to put you into the Christmas spirit! I'll probably be busy Christmas shopping, etc... on Saturday, but I plan to watch some new movies over the weekend with my family, too!

Must see for me, personally, this weekend is ALL of the Hallmark musical movies. I just love music and singing... so the combination of a musical movie, for me, is heavenly! How I wish I could binge watch all the movies all at once, but I'm sure I'll have to record many to watch later on.

With a song in my heart...
Christmas Blessings to You All, Net
