    Every year they steal my golden girls viewing for months with these formulaic movies (is some smolderingly handsome, wealthy man, who somehow has a lot of free time going to save the heroine’s family farm/bakery/veterinary clinic?). Jk, I know a lot of people love the escapism of these. For those that love staying golden, they’re on Hulu now. 🙂

    • Suzanne H

      You forgot 1 of the key parts of the formula – they never like each other when they first meet! LOL

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      LOL! You’re right! I love these AND the Golden Girls! Thanks for sharing! 😉

    • *Angela-Miles*

      Yesss my mom is an avid golden girls watcher. She said last year she wish they would rotate them in certain days Lol

    • kerRI

      Yupper and they steal The Middle right out from under us too.

      • Mary

        Unfortunately, they took The Middle off over the summer. Very bummed about that!

    • Sara

      I know I hate it!! I love Christmas; but lord those Hallmark movies are too sappy and all the same. I love my Golden Girls and Fraiser, and I don’t need to watch 3 months of non-stop Christmas movies.

  2. stacy aldrich

    The one with Kelly Pickler, and the other one with Leann Rimes I can’t wait to see, I’ll watch them all !

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      I will be watching them too! SO excited!

  3. Crystal

    All of them!!!

  6. Deb

    My big macho husband loves these movies and looks forward to them every year! SMH

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      LOL! My husband has enjoyed a few of these with me each year too!

  7. ecroston

    I AM SO EXCITED!!! I know they are cheesy and you, literally, know exactly what is going to happen but I love Hallmark movies! They are just so happy and downright comforting in a world that just isn’t most of time. My favorite part of the holidays season are these movies =)

    • Alex

      Yes this!!! 👆🏻👆🏻 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Hallmark movies – so does my 5 year old
      Daughter and my husband watches them with us too (of course he has his comments about what’s gonna happen lol) but that’s just it- they are happy!! We watch the new ones and reruns all year- can’t wait for the Christmas ones!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      SO true! They sure are so enjoyable to watch! Thanks for the feedback!

  8. *Angela-Miles*

    My favorite hallmark movie is Christmas Cookies 🙂 . I love just about all of them….but I don’t think they all have great actors LOL. I will stay up at late and watch them allllll night sometimes 😉 .
    (One of my least favorite actors in them is candace cameron-bure, she’s fake acting to me ha-ha) But I still watch. I also love the golden girls too!!

  9. Dealzgurl

    I’m a sucker for a Hallmark movie, lol! Is it sad that I can remember the plot just by looking at the title? My favorite actress is Lacey Chabert…not sure why but she just seems so nice and I love the “All my Heart” series…I’m watching the first two again in preparation for the wedding movie even though I’ve seen them several times. I might need to get a life, rflol! 🙂 Thanks for the list, H2S!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      LOL! I can remember many of them from the title too! You are SO welcome! Enjoy!

  10. Janelle

    Is there any way to watch them without having the hallmark channel?

    • Mommaoftwogirls

      I would like to know too. We cut cable and only have Netflix and Hulu now 😕 I wish I could just keep cable from October to January lol

      • porsha

        I cut cable tv too.. They have many streaming cable providers that u can get them on for 25 to 35 a mo

    • Tory

      There is the Hallmark Movies Now app, I’m not sure if the new stuff will be available on it since I just got it a couple of weeks ago. I put the app right on the smart tv next to netflix and amazon prime, and also on my phone. $5.99 a month or $4.99 a month if you pay for the whole year upfront.

  11. Suzy

    I watch Lifetime all the time and those movies are also the same so predictable and stupid yet I still watch them too! Love getting into the Christmas mood – thanks!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh yes! I have watched some great ones on Lifetime too! Thanks for the suggestion!

  12. Georgia

    If they want to show Christmas movies 24/7 get a hallmark Christmas Channel people can subscribe to… Leave the programming alone we pay for. They disrupt programming in July for a month… Now The end of October through the first week of January… Didn’t watch at all when they are on…..besides they don’t show any classics… And the same ones all month long over and over

  13. Joan

    Which countdown to Christmas movie is Daniel Lissing in?

    • Cheryl

      To find an actors body of work look up IMDB.COM and search for their name.

  14. Diane Jones

    Hallmark Christmas Channel

  15. Miki

    My favorite part of the movies are the location, houses and landscape! They pick amazing places and houses! Loved Christmas in Evergreen! I want that red pickup truck!

  16. Charla Popp

    The Hallmark Christmas channels are enjoyed and have become a yearly tradition at our home. We love the locations, the music and most the plots. In a world filled with much grief, both the Hallmark channels bring good thoughts and cheer. More of this is needed in our world.
