Summer is finally here, and that means things are heating up on the Hallmark Channel — in a family-friendly way, of course — with its new “Summer Nights” collection in June before cooling right back down for “Christmas in July.” The upcoming Hallmark movies below feature some of our favorite actors like Brennan Elliott, who makes his return following the heartbreaking death of his wife last year. In July, we’ll see Jen Lilley on the holiday slate in her second movie back at Hallmark after leaving for GAF in 2022.
Hallmark provides new made-for-TV flicks (and plenty of valuable life lessons) all year long — not just leading up to Christmas — with each month tailored to a different theme. With both June’s “Summer Nights” and “Christmas in July” schedules posted, you can sit back with a Hallmark-inspired beverage, and settle in as we check out the Hallmark movie schedule.
All premieres are on the Hallmark Channel, unless otherwise noted.
June: Summer Nights
The Greek Aisle - Saturday, June 6, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Nikki DeLoach and Apostolis Totsikas
We’ll start our travels in the Greek island of Corfu, where Georgia (DeLoach) goes to finalize an inheritance. According to the stipulations, however, she learns she must marry the co-inheritor. Good thing he’s handsome? I love these on-location Hallmark movies like The Greek Aisle, because they really allow us to experience these worlds vicariously through the characters, and I sure wouldn’t mind a little Greece getaway this summer!
Texas Two-Step - Saturday, June 13, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Heather Hemmens and Brendan Penny
Our next stop brings us back stateside (though believe me when I say Texas can feel like its own country), where in Texas Two-Step we’ll see Olivia (Hemmens) visiting the Lone Star State to help her aunt with her struggling country music bar. There she’ll reconnect with her childhood sweetheart Luke (Penny) and rediscover her passion for dancing. I’m sure that’s dancing of the two-step variety — yeehaw!
The Love Heist - Saturday, June 20, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Lyndsy Fonseca and Peter Porte
Continuing our “Summer Nights” fun, The Love Heist takes us to Chicago, where celebrity stylist Kayli (Fonseca) teams up with hotel security chief Mills (Porte) when an iconic piece of fashion history goes missing right before a big Costume Gala. Will they track down the swiped item? Bigger question — will they find romance along the way? Stay tuned.
A Castle of Our Own - Saturday, June 27, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Brennan Elliott and Erica Cerra
We tend to get a good share of royalty-centered rom-coms on Hallmark, but I don’t think that’s what we’ll find when we tune into A Castle of Our Own. This story sees an overworked architect join a sandcastle-building contest (what is this, a working vacation??) on an unexpected summer trip. Frequent Lacey Chabert co-star Brennan Elliott plays a contractor who helps her reconnect with her daughter and rediscover joy. I hope he pitches in with the sandcastle, too.
Christmas In July
Hallmark is getting an early start on the holidays — not just with a whole month of movies celebrating the most wonderful time of the year, but by sneaking a little into the previous month. While A Castle of Our Own will officially wrap up the Summer Nights premieres on June 27, Hallmark will begin airing its beloved Christmas movies from years past on Friday, June 26, with July’s first premiere coming the following weekend. Here’s your 2026 Hallmark Christmas in July schedule:
Christmas Under Construction - Saturday, July 4, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing.
The United States may be celebrating its 250th birthday on July Fourth, but Hallmark fans will be kicking off Christmas’ half-birthday, with Christmas Under Construction. In the first of July's premieres, Chelsea (Lowndes) stars on the hit reality show Renovation Romance, in which she and her partner Jake transform people’s homes and relationships.
Behind the scenes, though, their love is fading, and a new project renovating a cabin in New Hampshire could be a turning point for the couple and their show, especially when Chelsea starts getting close to the cabin’s owner Cooper (Lissing).
O Little Christmas Market - Saturday, July 11, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Katherine Barrell and Stephen Huszar
A chance meeting at a train station sparks an unexpected connection between gifted miniature artist Olivia (Barrell) and architect Grayson (Huszar) in O Little Christmas Market. Their bond is undeniable, even after she learns that Grayson’s firm is the corporate developer behind plans to tear down the town’s Christmas market, which was started by Olivia’s late father.
The community must rally to save the market, while Olivia and Grayson see if they can find a way to fulfill both of their dreams and make their romance work.
Snowbound For The Holidays - Saturday, July 18, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner.
In Snowbound for the Holidays, Cassidy Evergreen (Lengies) travels to Ridgeford Valley to evaluate the struggling Linden Lodge, as she tries to advance within her family’s boutique hotel company. At the lodge she becomes close to the devoted co-owner Trey Sanderson (Rosner) who is doing everything he can to preserve the lodge’s beloved holiday traditions during tough times.
Cassidy is drawn in by the magic of Linden Lodge (and, ahem, its co-owner, naturally) as she becomes part of the festivities. She must ultimately decide if her career aspirations matter more than the close-knit community that gathers at the lodge each season.
Love Under the Mistletoe - Saturday, July 25, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman.
How wonderful is it to have Jen Lilley back on the Hallmark Christmas slate (even if it's not the Countdown to Christmas proper)? In Love Under the Mistletoe, Lilley plays Grace, an interior designer whose business keeps her too busy to find love. However, when her former crush Ryan (Bateman), who is now a successful financial advisor in New York City, returns to their quaint town to sell his grandmother’s house, that could change things.
The duo end up working together to revive the town’s beloved Ribbons & Bows fundraiser, and it’s not just the charity event that resurfaces, but old feelings between the two. Careful where you put the mistletoe, guys!
If you miss the premiere of any of these offerings, the movies can be streamed the next day on Hallmark+, and keep an eye on the Hallmark Channel, to see when they will re-air.
Counting Down To The 2026 Countdown To Christmas
I know, I know, I should be keeping the focus on Christmas in July and not looking forward to the end of the year already, but the excitement over the 2026 Countdown to Christmas never really goes away, am I right?
Hallmark has promised "exclusive Countdown to Christmas sneak peeks" in July, so I'm expecting that news will start to trickle in about some of the season's offerings. Of course, we already have our first confirmed movie for the upcoming holiday slate, starring none other than our Hallmark Christmas queen. Lacey Chabert teamed with Disney World for Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, which she wrapped in the most Disney way possible.
Also, while we’re not expecting any more Three Wise Men movies after last year’s trilogy capper, Tyler Hynes hasn’t ruled out seeing the bromance continue between him, Andrew Walker and Paul Campbell outside of the Brenner brothers parameters.
We’ll be keeping our eyes open for updates, and I’ll continue updating this schedule as Hallmark announces its next batch of themed TV movie premieres. Be sure to bookmark this page to stay up to date on all of the upcoming Hallmark movies.
