It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, when the Hallmark movie schedule turns Christmas-themed, and other networks like Great American Family, Lifetime and UPtv begin their own annual celebrations. Fans of these delightful original movies surely can agree it’s never too early to see what life lessons these holiday movies can teach us, and this year’s swath of the best Christmas movies has already begun. That means there is no shortage of holiday spirit ahead, and we are here to help you keep track of all of this year’s premieres on both TV and streaming.
Speaking of kickoffs (How about that segue?), the 2024 Christmas movie schedule will include a double dose of Donna Kelce — mother of NFL greats Travis and Jason — as she appears in the Hallmark original Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story as well as a Philadelphia-based flick. Over on GAF, Candace Cameron Bure will pull off a trifecta of feel-good fare, and on Netflix, we’ll see both Hallmark regular Lacey Chabert and Lindsay Lohan bringing some holiday cheer. Be sure to bookmark this story and check back so that you don’t miss any of the movies you’re most looking forward to!
October 2024 Christmas Movie Premieres
Forget all the scary stuff hitting the 2024 movie calendar this month. Many of us would rather lean into the crisp fall temperatures and the pumpkin spice of it all (don’t try to deny it), and networks seem all too happy to indulge us. October features a number of holiday offerings, including Hallmark’s Holiday Crashers, which looks like a cute (and way more family-friendly) take on Wedding Crashers. Take a look at what’s in store:
