The holiday season is finally here, which means it's time to fully lean into the festivities. Go ahead, drive around to marvel at Christmas lights, deck out your home in Hanukkah decor, and DIY some jolly crafts that are fun for the whole family to take part in. Once everything is decorated in your home and you have that rich cup of hot chocolate warming up your hands, it's time for one of the best activities of all: binging on feel-good holiday movies. None are quite so heartwarming as holiday Hallmark movies. The comforting predictability of these flicks keeps us coming back for more and more every year, and this winter season, there are a whopping 42 new Hallmark Christmas movies to enjoy, plus extended cuts of two previously released films.
No matter which title you switch on, the best thing about a Hallmark holiday movie is knowing that pretty soon you'll be watching a happy ending. Some of the new films for 2023 have already aired, like Christmas by Design, a story about a fashion designer who discovers what matters most in life, but there are plenty more that viewers of the channel won't want to miss, like the extended cut of the 2022 film A Holiday Spectacular, which will air on December 21, 2023.
With snow-covered cottages and irresistible meet-cutes, Hallmark Christmas movies always find a way of growing even the Grinch's heart three sizes bigger. To keep up with its packed schedule of holiday premieres and find out how to watch your new favorites year-round, see the full list of new Hallmark Christmas movies coming to the channel in 2023.
