2021 Hallmark Movie Information / Reviews / Suggestions

So I signed up for the Hallmark Movie Network through Amazon prime. But I don't think I get the new movies? Should I do Frndly tv instead? I am still on the 7 day trial.

If you want to watch live stuff, I'd switch over. The Movies Now thing works similar to netflix where they have a selection to choose from, but it's not live or week to week. They'll probably have a lot of past seasons movies but not this years.

Who are the other openly liberal stars? Paul Campbell, Kimberly Sustad, and Luke McFarland are the only ones I can think of.

Along those lines, I wonder if CCB will jump ship when her Hallmark channel contract ends.

So is Frndly Tv the best way to get the Hallmark channels? We don't have cable

I signed up for Philo tv last year since it has several channels we are interested in including all three Hallmark channels.

Yep! And there's the ability to watch things from the past 3 days on demand where you can't fast forward..but I just go to the guide and hit record for it to be in my recorded section to FF through.

I watched all 3 new ones last weekend and I'd rank them in this order, from best to worst: The Santa Stakeout, Boyfriends of Christmas Past, You, Me, and the Christmas Trees.

I just can't handle Winnie Cooper playing a 24 year old. She's 46. And Benjamin Ayres in his twenties? I don't think so. And the "I can't diversify my crops because my Dad loves Christmas trees" is beyond stupid. Plus I don't think Winnie can act. I do, however, like her for nostalgia purposes.

I really liked watching Degrassi's Sav in the boyfriends movie. I liked the lead but some stuff was just bad, I agree with the others on here - her wigs, especially.

The Santa Stakeout was campy but fun, and I really like Paul Campbell's movies especially.

FYI one of my favourite movies is The Mistletoe Promise with Luke McFarlane and Jaime King.

So going forward that's my baseline.

I just don't know if I can keep up between the 4 major Christmas movie networks - its a lot. My son is already annoyed that there's Christmas movies on TV all day before Halloween, his high holy holiday, lol.

That's a good idea. I'll do the same. I don't even remember that movie.

jenna I didn't know there was a way to skip commercials. Thanks, they've been driving me mad!
So far I've only watched You, Me and the Christmas Trees - not amazing. I got sidetracked watching Little House on the Prairie, I Dream of Jeannie and Good Witch!

I watched Coyote Creek Christmas last night. The main character's parents give her a SCRAPBOOK of all the memories of the inn they are selling. Obviously they are not scrapbookers LOL b/c there is just one book to record all the memories...

I’ve actually already got a good start on my Christmas shopping for this year too! I am more than ready for some Christmas cheer!!

I watched the Christmas movie on GAC last night and loved it! They're off to a great start. It was a riff on Shakespeare, called Much Ado About Christmas. I loved the male lead in particular, although a bit of a hair trim would have been good. I can't resist the British accents. The setting was beautiful, too - it was filmed in Romania. This is going in my top 5, pretty sure.

We spent the weekend Halloweening it up so I now have 4 movies to catch up on throughout the week. Hoping for a good one in the new bunch! The Christmas Promise on Movies & Mysteries looked good from the previews. Has anyone watched it? A spoiler-free rating perhaps?

Home for Christmas and Over Christmas have both ended, alas. I haven't heard of a Dash and Lily follow-up either. Netflix's European limited series for Christmas this year is very much catering towards a young audience. Not gonna lie, I'm selfishly a little disappointed this is France's turn for the Christmas series considering how niche it is. But if it makes the young'uns happy, so be it. They also deserve some Christmas romance fun!  



However, Netflix is releasing its first Christmas rom-com movie of the year this week:



The gay Christmas rom-com, Single All the Way, comes in early December. No trailer yet. There will also be a promising Spanish Christmas movie about a grinchy Spaniard who hates Christmas finding himself forced to spend time in a small town that lives and breathes Christmas just before the holidays. It's called A Mil Kilómetros de la Navidad (1000 Miles from Christmas - which makes no sense in terms of metric-imperial conversion  ) and comes out on Christmas Eve. That should be way more in the vein of the two European limited series you mentioned. Also waiting to hear more about A Castle for Christmas starring Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes from Princess Bride, set in beautiful Scotland (premiering on November 30). No trailer yet either.

IndieWire has a decent one.
