See first photos of 42 new Hallmark Christmas movies

The very first autumn leaves may have just begun to fall, but it's already beginning to look a lot like Christmas over at Hallmark. Fully leaning into the festive spirit, the network has crafted its impressive list of holiday programming, checked it twice, and is officially set to debut 42 new Christmas movies that will premiere on the Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and its streaming service Hallmark Movies Now.

Starting in October, fans will be able to catch a ho-ho-host of holly jolly new holiday films, including the sequel to 2022's Haul Out the Holly, the Mystic Pizza-adjacent Mystic Christmas, and a Party of Five reunion between Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf in A Merry Scottish Christmas. And that's just the very tip of the iceberg — other films feature a puzzling Hanukkah party time paradox, a home intruder claiming to be Santa's son Chris, and a family raising funds to benefit children with autism as they attempt to break the world record for the tallest Jenga tower.

Pull over an ice block and lend an ear as EW reveals how you can catch all 42 Hallmark movies — plus, check out all the epic casts, official descriptions, and exclusive photos, too.
