Ah, Hallmark Christmas movies! It's one of the best Christmas traditions—a rite of passage even—to watch a few corny, but sweet Christmas flicks year after year.
Not only do the festive films have the most feel-good plots and jolly characters, but Hallmark picks out the cutest Christmas locations for their movies, which makes the Countdown to Christmas programming even more special. And this year, the network released 30 new Hallmark Christmas movies to add to the Christmas magic. Yes, 30! (Plus, there's a new Hallmark reality show for those who enjoy a friendly competition.)
Hearing that news is probably enough to have you wondering how you can watch Hallmark Christmas movies this year. After all, 'tis the season to grab your fluffiest blanket, pour some hot cocoa, and embark on a holiday movie binge.
