Hallmark reveals 34 new Christmas movies for its biggest festive season ever
Hallmark has revealed 34 new Christmas movies for 2026, including Disney World romance, festive mysteries and some huge returning stars.
Christmas is starting particularly early for Hallmark fans this year, with the channel revealing a huge line-up of 34 new festive movies for its 2026 Countdown to Christmas season.
The celebrations begin on October 16 and continue for ten weeks, with new films premiering every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through December 20.
It is Hallmark’s biggest Christmas movie season yet, with ten more original films than last year.
Familiar faces including Lacey Chabert, Jonathan Bennett, Andie MacDowell, Holly Robinson Peete and Tyler Hynes are among the stars appearing across the festive line-up.
Disney World, Christmas mysteries and plenty of romance
One of the biggest films is Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, starring Lacey Chabert and Travis Van Winkle.
Set around Walt Disney World, the festive romance arrives on November 28 and is likely to be one of the season’s biggest titles.
Hallmark is also returning to the NFL with Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story, starring Lyndsy Fonseca and Robert Buckley. The Chicago-set film follows a reporter who finds herself discovering both football and romance after meeting the grandson of a devoted Bears fan.
Other stories will take viewers everywhere from Christmas markets and ski resorts to Copenhagen and Welsh castles.
There is more than romance on the way too, with Mistletoe Murders returning for a third season as part of Hallmark’s wider festive programming.
