Hallmark Announces "Mistletoe Murders" Season 2

Even though Production Weekly had already revealed the news about the new season, Hallmark has officially confirmed it today through Deadline.

Mistletoe Murders is coming back for Season 2.

The series stars Sarah Drew as Emily Lane, a small-town Christmas shop owner with a secret, mysterious dark past, along with Peter Mooney as local detective Sam Wilner and Sierra Marilyn Riley as his teenaged daughter Violet.

The first season of Mistletoe Murders premiered on Hallmark's streaming source, Hallmark+.

More details via Deadline: "Mistletoe Murders follows Emily, the optimistic shop owner of a year-round Christmas-themed store, Under the Mistletoe. Residing in the tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, Emily finds herself compelled to investigate local murders. When Emily begins her personal investigations, Detective Sam Wilner (Mooney) begins to wonder if there’s more to Emily than meets the eye."

According to the article, the new season will air during this upcoming 2025 holiday season, and like the first season, the second season will also air on Hallmark+.


My personal take on the series:

If you love mysteries, this series is probably right up your alley! On the other hand, if you lean more towards cheerful holiday films, you might want to pass on this. While the mysteries aren't overly graphic, the hunt for a killer doesn't exactly create a festive atmosphere. In general, these murder mysteries are more appropriate for pre-teens and older.

Each of the mysteries that revolve around the tight knit community of Fletcher Grove are unique and interesting and almost always revolve around something holiday related. Sarah Drew is great as the lead, and I found myself intrigued by each mystery.

A word of caution: There is a passionate kiss at the end of the series and in the last episode, there is some mild language. One character also mentions briefly in a round-about-way that he is gay.

You can see more reviews for the first season of this series from myself, Elizbeth, Abigail, and Paula on the Christmas Movie Review Page. (Be sure to scroll down to nearly the end of the list to the Streaming Section.)

I hope all of you Sleuthers enjoyed this news!

Happy Sleuthing!
