It’s the most wonderful time of the year — that’s right, get ready for Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas series! Yes, we know it’s not even Halloween yet, but according to the Hallmark Channel, it’s time to start decking the halls. Beginning this Friday, Oct. 17, with the series premiere of Mistletoe Murders, the 2025 Hallmark Countdown to Christmas series will feature 24 new Christmas movies and four holiday series, running through Dec. 21, 2025.
Since Hallmark movies left Peacock earlier this year, it’s gotten a bit more complicated for cord-cutters to tune into Hallmark’s holiday content. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to watch all the new Hallmark Christmas movies (and shows!) this year.
When do Hallmark Christmas movies come out?
Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas series officially kicks off on Oct. 17. The first new Christmas movie premiere of the season, A Royal Montana Christmas, will drop on October 18 at 8 p.m. ET.
During the Countdown to Christmas series, new movies will premiere most Saturdays and Sundays, though Dec. 21. New series episodes will air on Fridays and Mondays.
What channel are Hallmark Christmas movies on?
Hallmark holiday movies and shows air on the Hallmark Channel (and stream on Hallmark+, among other platforms).
Are Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movies on Peacock in 2025?
