-- CROWN MEDIA FAMILY NETWORKS --


My Quick Take:

All of you keen observers may have noticed - there is a change in date for Christmas Camp! The new premiere date is THURSDAY JULY 11 at 9pm/8c. It will be premiering during "Christmas Thursdays" on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

There's so much to look forward to seeing during the annual Christmas in July event on Hallmark! It's always fun to see so many favorites played again. Like many of you, I also miss many of the classics that no longer make their way to TV. Sure... you can purchase many of them on DVD or watch them on Hallmark Movies Now, but that isn't exactly the same. Anyway, that's the way it is - so, I suppose, we'll have to get used it. When we are blessed each year with an explosion of NEW Christmas movies, of course the older movies have to have some place else to go. That's why it's important to either record or purchase your favorite Christmas movies on DVD while you can!

I'm looking forward to seeing during Hallmark's Christmas in July... A Shoe Addict’s Christmas, The Christmas Secret, Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe, The Christmas Card, Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Mingle All the Way, Christmas Wonderland, A Veteran's Christmas, A Godwink Christmas, Small Town Christmas, A Joyous Christmas, and so much more!

What are YOU looking forward to seeing during CHRISTMAS in JULY on Hallmark? Please share in comments below...

Then, be sure to check out my newly revised and updated

Joyous Blessings to You All, Net


UPDATE- June 16th: The newly released Hallmark Channel schedule does not have A Merry Christmas Match listed to premiere on July 13th. In fact, a NEW movie is NOT currently scheduled to air at this time - on that Saturday night.

The schedule was moved around, just a bit, to place Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe (starring Lacey Chabert) in that time slot. It will be followed by an all new "First Look Christmas Preview Special for 2019" hosted by Lacey Chabert, who also hosted last year's first look holiday preview show.

UPDATE- June 18th: The Hallmark Channel has updated their Christmas in July schedule and the movie A Merry Christmas Match is NOT currently listed. Please stay tuned for further updates!


For all the latest MOVIE updates, please see the Christmas TV Movie Schedule!

ASHLEY NEWBROUGH to STAR in NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIE for HALLMARK CHANNEL'S "CHRISTMAS in JULY"!


image: Hallmark Crown Media

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has previously announced- their new Christmas movie coming during their Gold Crown Christmas event in July will be "Christmas Camp"! (See details in previous post - *here*!)

Now, it's the Hallmark Channel's turn!

EW has exclusively announced "A Merry Christmas Match," starring Ashley Newbrough and Kyle Dean Massey, to premiere July 13, 2019 at 9pm/8c. on the Hallmark Channel - during their Keepsake Christmas event.


UPDATE- June 18th: The Hallmark Channel has updated their Christmas in July schedule and the movie A Merry Christmas Match is NOT currently listed to air in July. Please stay tuned for further updates!

UPDATE- July 13th: It was announced during the "Christmas: A First Look Preview Special," hosted by Lacey Chabert, that A Merry Christmas Match would premiere Sunday, December 22, 2019 at 8pm/7c. on the Hallmark Channel.


Here is the storyline via EW: "The plot revolves around a woman named Corey (Newbrough) who lives in a ski village, works in her mom’s antique shop, and puts on an annual children’s Christmas pageant in honor of her late father. When a man named Ryder (Massey) visits her store, Corey wonders if she should have left town and followed her dreams of becoming a theater director."

image: Hallmark Crown Media

According to the article, the “Gold Crown Christmas” campaign will run from June 28 to July 14, and Hallmark Channel’s “Keepsake Christmas” will take place from July 12 to July 27, however, I am "currently" seeing Christmas movies listed on the Hallmark Channel for July 28 too! Changes to the schedule are still possible, so we'll see!

It sounds like Christmas Camp and A Merry Christmas Match are two of the 40 Christmas movies Hallmark is premiering this year! So... after this - there will be 38 Christmas movies to watch - this upcoming Holiday Season! I'm keeping a list - *here*, as Hallmark officially announces them!

Also, I'm in the process of updating the TV Movie Schedule with ALL the Christmas in July movies - for both networks! Please be sure to check back for any additional updates or changes!

πŸŽ„ MORE the MERRIER πŸŽ„ - HALLMARK's CHRISTMAS keeps getting BIGGER!


images: Hallmark Crown Media

Christmas Movies News ~
Hallmark Channel and
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

image: Hallmark Crown Media


More Christmas Movies have been added to Hallmark Channel's Christmas Keepsake Week, which is coming up on July 13th!

Throughout Christmas Keepsake - Christmas movies will air in the afternoons and evenings during the week, then day and all night - on the weekends!

Please see the Christmas Schedule *here* and be sure to check back for any extra updates or additions!


image: screen grab via Hallmark Channel

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has announced 14, yes FOURTEEN!, All NEW Christmas Movies for their 2018 Holiday Season - called the Miracles of Christmas!

This news was shared via a promo commercial during Gold Crown Christmas Week! If you've been watching over the weekend, I'm sure you've seen it, too!

We were previously expecting 12, so it was very exciting to see the number increase to 14!

What does that mean for Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas" movies? Will there still be 22, making the total 36, instead of the 34 previously announced? Time will tell. I have heard various figures, but nothing official, and sometimes projects that are announced don't quite make it... while some unforeseen projects end up being made - just in time! So, with Hallmark you never know! Expect the unexpected! It's Christmas, after all, and we love surprises!

Enjoy all the Christmas movies everyone! Happy watching and recording! Be sure to check the Christmas schedule to see when your favorites are airing!

Joy to the World, Net

"The Christmas Cure" a Hallmark Channel Christmas (in July!) Keepsake Movie!



MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: The Christmas Cure

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original Air Date: July 15, 2017

*A Christmas Keepsake Movie!

*See the Christmas in July Schedule - Here!








CAST:

Brooke Nevin ... Vanessa
Steve Byers ... Mitch
Patrick Duffy ... Bruce
Charlie Jean Boyle ...








PLOT:

Storyline via Hallmark: An emergency room doctor returns home for Christmas after many years to find that her father has decided to retire. After reuniting with her high school sweetheart and spending an emotional Christmas with her family, she must decide if she will stay in her hometown and takeover her father’s practice.


Movie Review:

The Christmas Cure is an inspiring, beautiful “home is where the heart is” story!
Welcoming Vanessa back home for Christmas are her loving parents, her fun 18 year old brother, Kyle, and her extra sweet ex-boyfriend, Mitch, who just may still have a piece of her heart.

One of my favorite lines in the movie is when the mother says to her grown up daughter, Vanessa, who is a doctor in the city, “Sometimes you get so caught up in what you’re supposed to do, you miss what you’re meant to do.”

Caught in a quandary, Vanessa is at a major, perplexing decision point in her life… does she take over her father’s medical practice as he retires, or does she get back on a plane and take a higher position at the hospital in the city where she’s been practicing alone for years?

Being home again just may be the cure to mend Vanessa’s broken, longing heart.

Rest assured, this is one of those beautiful Hallmark Happy Endings that we all love!



See or Skip:

This movie is perfect for a family movie night… just what the doctor ordered!

As We Celebrate *5 Months* until Christmas Day -- Here are *5 Things* To Do Today!


Today is July 25th! Yay! We have finally reached the mark of 5 months until Christmas Day! Can you believe it? As hot as it is this July - Christmas can be the farthest thing away from many of our minds, but since the calendar tells us it is getting ever increasingly closer, we mustn't hesitate in preparing ahead!


So here are 5 things to do today!

#5. Make a list! Check it Twice! Who do you plan to buy for, this Christmas? How much you plan to spend? Do you have any ideas for each individual? Also, what goodies do you plan to bake? What traditions do you plan to re-create? Writing it down, is the best part of planning!

#4. Ornaments! Hallmark just recently released their newest Christmas Keepsake Ornaments! Are there any new ones you would like to add to your collection this year? I have included lots and lots of new ones below! (I think the last one is my personal favorite - What do you think?)

#3. Cards! This would be a perfect time to get out that Christmas Card list, starting first with your address book, and checking to see who has moved, etc... As a bonus, you most likely can get a great deal on buying cards early. (on-line, of course - stores most likely won't have them, yet!)

#2. DVDs! Today, being the 25th, is the perfect day to pick out a favorite Christmas DVD to watch and dream about Christmas and Snowy Winter White Days! As for the New Christmas movies on DVD, that are being released for this season, we do know a few, so far (mentioned below!).... but, there are always Christmas DVDs from previous years, too, that you may still want to add to your collections. I have included some new ones and favorites below...

#1. Decide on which charitable organizations or cause you and your family would like to donate to. Perhaps, giving now, would help to ease your pocketbook at Christmastime, and many organizations can use your donation now to prepare how they will be able to give to others at Christmas!


The beauty of 5 months til Christmas is... we have plenty of time still to relax and just enjoy the idea that Christmas is coming soon!


Here are those Ornaments I promised to share...
