Hallmark Countdown to Christmas 2025: Upcoming Movies and TV Shows
Hallmark seems to be beginning its holiday season earlier each year — and fans certainly aren’t complaining.
Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story was the first project announced in March, set to follow the success of 2024’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, featuring another NFL team in the Hallmark Christmas limelight.
Four months later, Hallmark Media celebrated “Christmas in July,” revealing multiple movies and TV shows for its 16th annual “Countdown to Christmas” lineup later this year.
While the exact start date for “Countdown to Christmas” is yet to be announced (last season began in October 2024), Hallmark confirmed that A Newport Christmas and a third Three Wise Men film will be included in the seasonal lineup.
Scroll down to see every movie and TV show confirmed for the 2025 “Countdown to Christmas” on Hallmark Channel so far — and stay tuned for Hallmark Mystery’s “Miracles of Christmas” lineup along with the Hallmark+ Holiday collection.
