Happy First Weekend of Spring, Everyone!
Since we transitioned this week from Winter to Spring, I thought it would be an ideal time to take a look at the Wintery Christmas movies airing Friday night, along with the first Spring into Love movie airing on TV this weekend and the upcoming Great American Family Easter movie premiere, Just in Time—coming early next week, and more!
By the way, two of my Christmas movie favorites are airing Friday night on the Hallmark Channel... The Christmas Secret is a classic, charming Christmas movie that always captures my heart, and A Biltmore Christmas is a new favorite from the 2023 Christmas movie season! I must say, I enjoyed the old Hollywood references, and Bethany and Kristoffer were spectacular! (You were right, Joyce, I loved it!!!) I'm sooo looking forward to this encore airing.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week. On Palm Sunday we commemorate Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem for the Jewish feast of Passover as the people waved palm branches and placed them along the road as Christ entered the city. I've included various Easter movies and specials in the Programming Notes in this post.
See all of the details below...

☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT: ☀️
"The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!” "
~John 12:12-13
