Netflix’s content library just got a little bit merrier. Ten Hallmark Channel Christmas movies are now available to stream on the service, including multiple titles featuring the network’s holiday queen, Lacey Chabert.

Hallmark Christmas movies are now on Netflix

When it comes to the holiday movie game, Hallmark is the undisputed champ, regularly pumping out dozens of new tinsel-draped flicks every year. In 2024 alone, it will release close to 50 new movies, plus several new series, across Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, and its streaming service, Hallmark+.

Unfortunately for Christmas-loving cord-cutters, watching Hallmark’s new movies is difficult if you don’t have a cable package or a live TV streaming service (Like Frndly TV or YouTubeTV) that includes the channel. Peacock subscribers can watch new movies live and on-demand for three days after they air, while older movies and some exclusives are on Hallmark+. But if Netflix is your primary streaming service,...

With Halloween officially over, it’s time for Christmas movies. While the Hallmark+ streaming app has hundreds of holiday movies, some of their favorites from 2023 are not yet on the app but have been added to Netflix.

Hallmark Channel officially launched the 15th annual Countdown to Christmas event in October (full schedule here), with new movies airing each weekend and holiday movies now streaming 24/7. However, if looking for the below, which star some of the fan favorites Hallmark stars including Andrew Walker, Bethany Joy Lenz, Kris Polaha, Lacey Chabert and Jonathan Bennett, they’re now available to stream on Netflix.

“A Biltmore Christmas”

Synopsis: Screenwriter Lucy Hardgrove, set to write the sequel to the 1947 holiday movie classic “His Merry Wife,” is sent back in time to the set of the original film — and everything she does could change the present.

It's beginning to look a lot like the most wonderful time of the year, and Netflix is pulling out all the stops to ensure that's especially true this year. The streaming begins rolling out its new roster of Christmas romantic comedies starring the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Chad Michael Murray, but Netflix has a few more tricks up its sleeve, er, stocking.

In addition to launching four brand-new Christmas romantic comedies, Netflix announced on Oct. 28 that 10 fan-favorite Hallmark Channel original movies would begin streaming in the United States on Nov. 1. That's such a special treat for fans of the cable network's seasonal offerings, who will now be able to watch their favorite movies any time on Netflix over and over this holiday season.

If you're a Hallmark Channel devotee, you probably have already watched all 10 of these movies making their way to Netflix US in November. However,...

Exclusive: Indie studio Wiip has optioned Amanda Eyre Ward’s 2022 novel The Lifeguards. In Sue Tenney’s followup to the Netflix hit Virgin River, which she developed and served as executive producer/showrunner on for four seasons, she will tackle The Lifeguard‘s TV adaptation with fellow former Virgin River writer-producer Amy Palmer Robertson for what the duo are promising to be “a sexy, soapy, domestic suspense series.”

Combining three mothers’ points of view in a narrative tale with commentary from neighborhood listservs, secret text messages, and police reports, The Lifeguards, is both a story about the secrets we tell to protect the ones we love, and a riveting novel of suspense filled with half-truths and betrayals, fierce love and complicated friendships, and the loss of innocence on one hot summer night.

“The mothers and teenage sons of The Lifeguards are close to my heart,” Ward said. “From the moment...

Something special happened in Malibu on Saturday.

Global superstar Pink took a break from her record-setting Summer Carnival tour to hit the stage at a far more intimate venue than the arenas she’s been selling out in recent months by performing at Rock4EB! alongside singer-songwriter Dallas Green. The pair headlined the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation’s annual fundraiser by performing as you + me, their onetime side project. The event, held at the hilltop home of Brillstein-Entertainment Partners leader Marc Gurvitz, was a star-packed affair set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, hosted once again by Judd Apatow and featuring a (savage) stand-up set by Jim Jefferies.

Now that we're nearing the end of August, Netflix has released its full list of shows and movies coming to the platform in September. But while we're super excited about all the new content set to be released on Netflix throughout next month, we can't help but think of the shows and movies that will be making their departure.

Licensed content leaves Netflix every month, but in this upcoming month, there are several fan-favorite shows that we just know we'll have a hard time saying goodbye to. These shows have been on Netflix for a long time, and we often go back to rewatch them. So, to be unable to do so anymore is going to be hard.

Are you wondering what shows we're talking about? If so, keep on reading because we shared them below and when they will be departing Netflix.

It's been said many times this holiday season: Hallmark is knocking it out of the park with thoughtful stories full of heart. One such story brings Good Witch's Catherine Bell back into the fold.

Christmas on Cherry Lane features a sprawling cast of actors we continually welcome into our homes, and we get to peer inside of characters' homes on Cherry Lane.

Bell is also reunited with the Good Witch costar, James Denton, which gives the new story a familiar feel, like wrapping us in a warm, welcoming hug.

Bell took some time to share her thoughts on returning to Hallmark with her costar at her side, and the significance of friends, family, and our greater community in our lives.

I have to tell you, I still miss Good Witch, so to welcome you back with James Denton at your side is such a wonderful Christmas gift.

Thank you.

The Good Witch series finale aired in 2021, but stars Catherine Bell and James Denton will again play a couple in the new Hallmark movie Christmas on Cherry Lane, which follows three families on the same street celebrating the holidays across three decades.

In the world of Hallmark Channel, no holiday is bigger than Christmas. Every year, the feel-good network airs dozens of movies focused on the December 25 holiday. Other celebrations don’t get nearly as much attention, especially Halloween. But that’s changing this year with a new movie starring Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalzo that mixes spooky vibes with sweet romance.

With the writers’ strike finally coming to an end, it strikes me that this may be a good opportunity to consider adjusting the process by which “Hollywood” evaluates what new films and TV shows should get the greenlight. Somehow in the ever-evolving pitch process, we seem to have replaced curiosity, collaboration and civility with a cool “show me what you got” attitude. It’s worth rethinking how to approach working with the creative community moving forward.

For over 30 years I have worked as a media executive. Recently I’ve been teaching a course at the UCLA Anderson school about the streaming business. During the strike, I’ve had the opportunity...

Don’t look now, but it is getting very close to the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, the holidays are still a few months away, but holiday movie season is just around the corner. Yesterday, Great American Family announced its Great American Christmas programming slate, and on Tuesday, the Hallmark Channel did the same announcing their expansive “Countdown to Christmas” lineup of original films that will take place on both the flagship cable network as well as sibling channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (which hosts the annual Miracles of Christmas lineup) and direct-to-consumer (Dtc) streaming service Hallmark Movies Now.

Hallmark is delivering 40 brand-new original films across its multiple platforms with new movies premiering on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night all season long. The festivities will kick off on Friday, Oct. 20 and will run around the clock throughout the holiday season.

Hallmark has revealed that it will have 40 all-new, original movies for both its flagship channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, as well as special content for Hallmark Movies Now, the company’s subscription streaming service.

Even though the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacted TV and film productions, Hallmark anticipated the labor dispute by getting a head start on production in Canada. “Christmas is a year-round business at Hallmark, so we were able to mitigate early in the year understanding that the strikes were unfortunately imminent,” Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP of programming at Hallmark Media, was recently quoted as saying. “We’re grateful to meet all our goals for a full, all-new holiday slate and to bring our viewers the content they love most to celebrate the season.”

Holiday programming kicks off Friday, Oct. 20 with the channel’s Countdown to Christmas and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ Miracles of Christmas.

If you’re hoping that there’s more Good Witch to come in some form, whether another movie or another season, it seems like that’s at least a possibility. “I think there’s a chance. I know [with] the popularity of the show and the circumstances under which it ended sort of abruptly that it would not surprise me if we revisit it,” James Denton, who played Dr. Sam Radford alongside Catherine Bell’s Cassie Nightingale in the Hallmark franchise, told TV Insider recently while discussing Perfect Harmony, which premieres October 16. That being said, he cautioned, “Nobody’s made me an offer. There’s nothing in the works, but I think the odds are decent just because I know the network respects the franchise. It ran for 14 years between the movies and the series. So I think there’s a decent chance, but I had to say in the same...

Witches have always been a source of fascination, and there is no shortage of movies that explore their world. “The Good Witch” franchise is a prime example. With seven films, the series tells the story of Cassie Nightingale, a kind-hearted witch who uses her powers to help others.

So If you’re looking for a fun, spooky film series to watch this Halloween season, look no further than “The Good Witch” movies. Hallmark channel presented this fantastic movie series for all of us.

Starring Catherine Bell as the charming witch Cassie Nightingale, these films are perfect for movie nights with family or friends.

And if you’re looking for a marathon viewing experience. Here’s a list of “The Good Witch” movies in order:

All The Good Witch Movies in Order: The Good Witch (2008) The Good Witch’s Garden (2009) The Good Witch’s Gift (2010) The Good Witch’s Family (2011) The Good Witch’s Charm...

Ever since Hallmark decided to end Good Witch after seven seasons and countless movies, there have been questions about whether the franchise could resurface.

The franchise was headlined by Catherine Bell but came to an abrupt conclusion last summer.

Thankfully, Hallmark is not ruling out any future projects set in the Good Witch-verse, as well as Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

During Hallmark's appearance at the Television Critics Association summer press tour this Wednesday, Daly said, “As far as Good Witch, I think we’re always interested in thinking about what we can do with our most popular IP.”

However, the exec teases, “I can’t announce anything specific about that.”

It's certainly a vote of confidence in calling it their "most popular IP," but we should probably not get too excited about any new shows in that universe until they get a formal pickup.

As for Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Daly said that,...

Hallmark Media president/CEO Wonya Lucas and programming EVP Lisa Hamilton Daly know how much their viewers love and miss certain franchises. Yet when it comes to Good Witch (which ended over a year ago) and Signed, Sealed, Delivered, the execs are not ready to confirm any return timetables.

Good Witch ended its run in July 2021, with a Season 7/series finale in which Cassie (played by Catherine Bell) saved the cousins’ imperiled magic, Stephanie and Adam decide to tie the knot (but Donovan and Abigail broke up) and Cassie’s brother Vincent returned to Middleton.

What is Halloween without a witch?

That's a pertinent question that was often answered during the last decade by turning on Hallmark Channel to watch Good Witch movies.

Now, you can watch those films anytime you want. So keep reading for the good news!

The next time you're pining away for a good witch or the actual Good Witch, Hallmark's got you covered.

Hallmark Movies Now, Crown Media Family Networks’ standalone streaming service, becomes the definitive source for all things Good Witch when all seven seasons and 13 movies of the popular franchise become available Friday, October 1.

Hey! That's today!

In case you're unfamiliar with the streaming network, it's time to get acquainted because Hallmark Movies Now is the home for fans and new viewers to find all Good Witch programming in one place.

Over 50 hours (Fifty Hours!!!) of Good Witch will all be in one place just in time to celebrate the Halloween season.

The Hallmark Channel made history with the series finale of "Good Witch" on Sunday, an episode that featured the first kiss between an LGBTQ couple on one of the cable channel's original series.

The smooch in question was shared by Joy (Kat Barrell) and Zoey (Kyana Teresa), who have also been representing as the first LGBTQ couple in a Hallmark show throughout the "Good Witch" run.

Prior to Joy and Zoey's big finale moment, the only other same-sex kiss to occur on Hallmark Channel's original programming was in the holiday movie "The Christmas House," a 2020 film that featured Jonathan Bennett and Brad Harder as a gay married couple who lock lips during the movie.

But as "The Christmas House" is a movie and the "Good Witch" is a series, the Catherine Bell and James Denton-led show has the title of first Hallmark Channel original series to depict an LGBTQ couple kissing.

Warning: Spoilers ahead from Hallmark Channel’s Good Witch series finale.

After seven seasons, Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) and the rest of the Good Witch gang said a bittersweet goodbye as the emotional series finale aired on Hallmark Channel on Sunday night.

And while fans may be sad that the show is ending, there’s a lot to celebrate yet—especially those who were shipping #TeamJoey. Not only did Zoey (Kyana Teresa) and Joy (Katherine Barrell) share a sweet kiss tonight, it’s the first same-sex kiss on a Hallmark original series.

Joy and Zoey have found their happily ever after! ❤️...
