Tis the Season for Pumpkin Spice & Pie! Do YOU also have CHRISTMAS on Your Mind?

There's a fun scene in the Hallmark Christmas movie Christmas on My Mind that features a pie contest, which got me to thinking - this is the perfect time of year for a warm slice of pie! Do you have a favorite? My personal pick is typically delicious apple pie; however, my Momma also makes this scrumptious, sweet cream pie around the holidays that everyone loves. (Including me!) Be sure to share your favorite pie flavor in comments below.

In just a couple of weeks we will be watching Christmas movies around the clock! Can you believe it? And with OVER 40 Christmas movies coming from Hallmark (on both networks) - we've yet to receive that major Hallmark Christmas Movie announcement, which is much, much later than usual. So... plenty of surprises are still in store!

Something else I've noticed different about this year is that this is the first year (in a long time!) that we won't have a Christmas movie preview show for either Hallmark network. (SEE MY UPDATE BELOW!) Both Lifetime and GAC Family are airing preview specials this year. See the Christmas Schedule for times! In years past, Hallmark had several preview shows leading up to the holiday season - hosted by Candace Cameron Bure (mostly), plus Jill Wagner, Andrew Walker, Kellie Pickler, Lacey Chabert, Trevor Donovan, and Jen Lilley. This year is definitely different, but I'm still glad we will be seeing numerous familiar faces and many of the wonderful Christmas classics we've enjoyed throughout the years.

UPDATE: HALLMARK WILL AIR PREVIEW CLIPS THIS YEAR DURING THE LAST FALL HARVEST MOVIE - SEE DETAILS HERE!



Speaking of Christmas movie classics, I hope you enjoy the two airing this week! Hint: You may want to grab a slice of pie for the first one!

Still have CHRISTMAS on Your Mind? See Andrew Walker in the Hallmark Channel Premiere of "Christmas on My Mind" TONIGHT!

In case you haven't heard, the Hallmark Channel has extended their Christmas in July Movies to August 1st!

Tonight they are premiering for the first time on the Hallmark Channel, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie...

Christmas on My Mind

Storyline via Hallmark: A bump on the head, an unexplained wedding dress and temporary short-term amnesia lead Lucy Lovett on a search for the truth about her breakup with longtime sweetheart Zach Callahan. She returns to Bedford Harbor, Maine for the town’s Christmas celebration and rediscovers the woman she used to be, what matters most, and that a Christmas miracle can bring back love thought to be lost forever.

This family friendly Christmas movie is a sweet rom-com. Andrew Walker is, as always, a joy to watch! "Snowed Inn Christmas" and "Debbie Macomber's Dashing Through the Snow" are still my 2 favorite Andrew Walker Christmas movies, but this one is fun, too!

Hope you enjoy this premiere of "Christmas on My Mind" on the Hallmark Channel!

Be sure to look for more Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie premieres coming up on the Hallmark Channel this week in the Christmas Movie Schedule!

As Hallmark continues to *Countdown to Christmas* throughout the year, we can look forward to three festive Christmas movies airing this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night!

Here are the CHRISTMAS MOVIES we can see this week on ALL THREE HALLMARK NETWORKS...

🌟🌟🌟

Hallmark Drama's
"Home for the Holidays"
classic Christmas movie feature is...
"The Wishing Tree"
on Wednesday, March 4th at 9pm/8c..

image: Hallmark Crown Media

Storyline via Hallmark: Professor Evan Farnsworth (Gedrick) works tirelessly at a prestigious boarding school in Maine, dedicating all his time to helping his students believe in themselves - even when he doesn't have any hope left after the death of his wife two years earlier. Accepting a job to teach the students left behind during Christmas vacation, including talented scholarship student Juliet (singer Emmalyn Estrada), nerdy outcast Albert (Amitai Marmorstein, "50/50") and privileged bad boy Drew (Harmon), Farnsworth quickly faces a challenge when Drew gets into trouble. Upset his wealthy parents ditched him for a Paris skiing vacation, he takes his anger out on the neighboring town's ancient Wishing Tree, a bare tree decorated with handwritten notes containing the townspeople's greatest holiday wishes. A loved tradition, it doubles as a fundraiser for needy families, depending on donations from eager wish-makers.

After spending a night in jail, Drew lets Farnsworth help him turn his negative attitude around by agreeing to volunteer with the Wishing Tree. Soon, Drew, Juliet and Albert are becoming best friends as they help make Wishing Tree a success, under the thankful watch of Chairperson Madelyn (Rothery). Then everyone, including Farnsworth, is blindsided when Drew's icy mother arrives to make sure Farnsworth is fired, upset after Drew's stint with the law. Faced with the possibility of losing his job, Farnsworth is left with nothing as he packs his bags. But with the support of the attractive young theater teacher (Cerra), his dedicated students, and the spirit of his late wife, Farnsworth eventually finds that with the Wishing Tree, anything is possible.

"Christmas on my Mind"
on Thursday, March 5th at 9pm/8c.

Storyline via Hallmark: A bump on the head, an unexplained wedding dress and temporary short-term amnesia lead Lucy Lovett on a search for the truth about her breakup with longtime sweetheart Zach Callahan. She returns to Bedford Harbor, Maine for the town’s Christmas celebration and rediscovers the woman she used to be, what matters most, and that a Christmas miracle can bring back love thought to be lost forever.

🌟🌟🌟

Hallmark Channel's
"Countdown to Christmas"
classic Christmas movie feature is
"Switched for Christmas"
on Friday, March 6th at 8pm/7c.

image: Hallmark Crown Media

Storyline via Hallmark: Identical twins Kate and Chris Lockhart plot to be the other sister -- at Kate’s office and Chris’ school – and take on planning their sister’s Christmas events. One rule, though: no romance. Chris as Kate is making her mark in the office, but co-worker Greg Turner grows curious about her sudden style. Kate as Chris, warming to her sudden family life, is introduced to a wealthy donor to help out the festival. Her jaw drops when she realizes that Tom Kinder is a teenage crush she met at that very festival 20 years ago. Can the sisters pull off their big events? And what about no romance? Will their little game of deceit take two hearts with it – Greg’s and Tom’s?

🌟🌟🌟

Hope you enjoy all the Christmas movies airing this week!

"Switched for Christmas," starring Candace Cameron Bure, is my favorite of the week. I love how Candace plays identical twin sisters who each think the grass is greener. Plus, the movie includes Candace's real life daughter, Natasha, and the adorable Happy the Dog!

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