See Inspirational Christmas Movies this Easter on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

It's a Miracle... Miracles of Christmas, that is, as Christmas movies return this Easter to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw Christmas movies, like Project Christmas Wish, and all of the Godwink films, appear in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries schedule for April. Recently, for the month of March, HMM removed their regular Thursday night airings of holiday films, so it was wonderful to see these Christmas movies appear in their scheduling guide. I've been watching their listings closely ever since seeing this, and I've been hoping more Christmas movies would be added in the weeks thereafter, but unfortunately, no more Christmas movies are currently scheduled after Easter week on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in April. Hopefully, the network will end up bringing the Christmas movies back again for another holiday or special event, like Memorial Day weekend or, of course, Christmas in July!


As for now, we can look forward to these Christmas movies airing on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Easter week:

Thursday, April 6, 2023:

Project Christmas Wish ... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... 7 PM

Saturday, April 8, 2023:

A Godwink Christmas ... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... 1 PM
A Godwink Christmas: Miracle of Love ... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... 3 PM
A Godwink Christmas: Meant for Love ... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... 5 PM
A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love ... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... 7 PM
The Gift of Peace ... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... 9 PM


I hope you enjoy watching these special Christmas movies again or for the first time! Project Christmas Wish, starring Amanda Schull, is such a heartwarming story about a little girl's wish at Christmastime to bring joy back to her father and have "Christmas like it used to be." The faith-based Godwink movies are filled with beautiful stories of moments and meetings that are more than just happenstance. The Gift of Peace is the first DaySpring Presentation; it's an emotional, heartwarming story about life, loss, and rediscovering love again.

Easter is such a wonderful time to watch these inspirational, uplifting Christmas films. Plus, be sure to also look for actress Amanda Schull in the new faith-based Easter movie, The Blessing Bracelet, the second DaySpring Presentation, premiering Easter Sunday, April 9th, at 7pm/6c.

TV ALERT: Christmas Movies Coming to an End on HMM - Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

I just wanted to send out a quick update today to alert you all that Christmas movies are coming to an end on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Early in February, I updated the Christmas TV Schedule when Hallmark, at that time, released Christmas movies that would air in March, but recently, Joyce in Carolina, who is a loyal friend and follower here at It's a Wonderful Movie, contacted me to share that she noticed the Christmas movies were no longer in the March schedule on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. That information was surprising to me, and I wanted to be certain you all were aware, too. So, tonight appears to be the last night, at least for a while, for the Christmas movies to air on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Tonight's movie is The Holiday Stocking, by the way.

You can still watch Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel and Great American Family every Friday night at 8pm/7c.

🎄 Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas & Miracles of Christmas 2020 🎄

images: Hallmark Crown Media

The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are getting ready to spread Christmas Cheer - beginning October 23rd. Through EW - Hallmark just announced nearly all of their 40 New Christmas movies coming in 2020.

I am personally excited about many of these NEW PAIRINGS…

"If I Only Had Christmas" will star one of my favorites, Candace Cameron Bure ("Christmas Town"), along with Warren Christie, who I just love in the Hallmark classic, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." I can't wait to see these two together! Candace has shared that her new holiday film will have a 'Wizard of Oz' theme, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that story is mixed into this new Christmas movie! Will there be ruby slippers, a yellow brick road, and (please no!) scary flying monkeys??? All I can say is... "There's no place like home... there's no place like home..."

Another pairing I was excited to see, was Jill Wagner and Lucas Bryant, who I just love and will be starring together in "The Angel Tree!" Doesn't that sound so sweet? Plus, Brooke D’Orsay and Sam Page sound ideal together for "A Godwink Christmas: First Loves, Second Chances" and it's no secret that Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan will be starring together in USS Christmas, but I still love hearing more and more about this Patriotic movie that honors our military!

I was also thrilled to officially see these actors who have previously worked together - are doing so again...

A Bright and Merry Christmas
Starring: Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas
(Who previously starred together in "The Irresistible Blueberry Farm")

Christmas Waltz
Starring: Lacey Chabert, Will Kemp
(Who previously starred together in "Love, Romance, and Chocolate")

A Glenbrooke Christmas
Starring: Autumn Reeser and Antonio Cupo
(Who previously starred together in "Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade" and "I Do, I Do, I Do")


Now, please know and beware... there are a couple movies I won't be promoting due to my own personal faith and beliefs, because these movies include same sex couples. Those movies are "The Christmas House" and "A Christmas Tree Grows in Brooklyn." There may be others, but I am currently only aware of these two. It saddens me to see the direction Hallmark is taking, leaving behind those of us of faith. They want to be diverse and include everyone, well, this does not include me and my family. I am very disappointed in Hallmark over this issue, and I know other viewers feel the same. We will have to be very careful on what we choose to watch this year.

Lacey Chabert ("Christmas in Rome") will not only be starring in the movie, "Christmas Waltz" on the Hallmark Channel, but she will also have a starring role in a new Christmas movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, in "Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas." Her co-star is Stephen Huszar of "A Home for the Holidays."

In the new Christmas movie, "A Nashville Christmas Carol," starring Jessy Schram and Wes Brown, we will find many great Country Music stars: Wynonna Judd, Sara Evans, RaeLynn, Kix Brooks and actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley ("The Christmas Train") also stars!

Now... there are a few movies left to fill, so we don't know quite, yet, every movie. I didn't see Kathie Lee Gifford's name with "A Godwink Christmas;" which leaves me wondering if she will be in this third installment? Other Hallmark regulars I don't see mentioned, yet, are: Kristoffer Polaha, Cindy Busby, Jodie Sweetin, Kevin McGarry, Jesse Metcalfe, Chad Michael Murray, Brittany Bristow, Ashley Newbrough, Kellie Martin, and many more! Stay tuned for future updates.

Candace Cameron Bure will host the 2020 Countdown to Christmas Preview Special on the Hallmark Channel, Saturday, October 17, 2020 and Jen Lilley & Trevor Donovan will host Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' 2020 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special on Sunday, October 18, 2020.

★★★ Watch "Holiday for Heroes" and "When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas" in honor of Patriot Day! ★★★ #Hearties SEE HERE:

Leading up to September 11th each year now, September 8th–10th is honored as "National Days of Prayer and Remembrance."

On this September 11th, known as Patriot Day, we remember the lives lost in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America. I hope and pray our country will never forget watching the World Trade Center Towers fall on that day, 19 years ago, as well as the attack on the Pentagon and crash in Pennsylvania.

"Holiday for Heroes"

Story-line via Hallmark: Audrey and First Sergeant Matt have been writing each other since last Christmas, when her brother Devin shared some fresh roasted coffee from the care package she’d sent. When Matt unexpectedly shows up in her small-town coffee shop, Audrey is delighted to see him. Soon, Matt helps Audrey with the annual Holiday for Heroes event, which honors local service members. As they work to save this important event from being cancelled, will the spirit of the season bring Matt and Audrey’s love beyond their letters?

★★★★★★★★★★

The "Countdown to Christmas"

Friday Night Feature

airing on September 11th

on the Hallmark Channel is...

"When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas"

Story-line via Hallmark: Elizabeth prepares for Little Jack’s first Christmas and birthday, missing Jack more than ever. Nathan receives a prestigious job offer in Union City but weighs the downside of leaving Elizabeth and taking his niece away from Hope Valley.

Meanwhile, Rosemary and Lee search for the perfect gift for Little Jack, while Bill turns Hope Valley upside looking for a special gift that he misplaced.

Hope you all enjoy the Christmas movies airing this week - especially at this time, the special honoring of our Military with "Holiday for Heroes."

September 11th is one of those days now, when most people just want to be close to home, where we feel safe... so it's the ideal time to watch "When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas" and return to the warmth and familiarity of Hope Valley."

Thank you to all who serve our great country - as we solemnly remember September 11, 2001.

Blessings to you all, Net
