STUDIO CITY, CA - September 22, 2022 - Hallmark Media celebrates 13 years of Christmas programming with 40 all-new, original movie premieres across Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The perennial popularity of the networks' annual holiday programming events has catapulted Hallmark Channel to the top of the ratings, with the network becoming the most-watched entertainment cable network in Q4 among Women 18+ for eight consecutive years; among Women 25-54 for six straight years and among Households and Total Viewers for five years in a row.*

This year, the pop culture phenomenon returns with round-the-clock holiday programming starting Friday, October 21, when Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas" and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' "Miracles of Christmas" kick off the yuletide season. That same day, Hallmark Movies Now, the company's standalone streaming service, kicks off its annual holiday celebration "Movies & Mistletoe" that will offer subscribers more than 150 Christmas movies with new content becoming available each week through the end of the year.

Viewers can look forward to seeing their favorite stars returning in all-new holiday movies, including, Lacey Chabert, who stars in a record-breaking twelfth Christmas movie for Hallmark this year, Alison Sweeney, Andrew Walker, Ashley Williams, Benjamin Ayres, Brennan Elliott, Brooks Darnell, Erin Cahill, Holly Robinson Peete, Jonathan Bennett, Kristoffer Polaha, Luke Macfarlane, Marilu Henner, Nikki DeLoach, Paul Campbell, Rachel Boston, Ryan Paevey, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Taylor Cole, Tyler Hynes, Victor Webster, Will Kemp and more.

Hallmark is thrilled to welcome exciting and legendary new talent helping to make this year's lineup merry and bright, such as award-winning actress Marlo Thomas, Ann-Margret, Ellen Travolta, Greta Scacchi, Kara Wang, Grammy Award-winning R&B artist Ledisi, Emmy Award winner Lynn Whitfield, Margaret Colin, Moira Kelly, Mykelti Williamson, Reginald VelJohnson, Reshma Shetty, Stephen Tobolowsky, Tamala Jones, Tia Carrere and Yael Grobglas, among many others that will light up the screen.

In the spirit of the network's 2022 ratings hit "The Wedding Veil" trilogy, "Three Wise Men and a Baby" brings together three of Hallmark's most popular leading men, Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes and Andrew Walker. The trio stars as brothers who get the surprise of their lives when they are forced to work together to care for a baby over the holidays. As they slowly get the hang of things, they find themselves on unexpected journeys of self-discovery and begin to rebuild their relationships as brothers, as well as the damaged romantic and professional relationships in their respective lives... all while rediscovering their love of Christmas.

Continuing the tradition of working with top recording artists, this year's original movie premieres will feature special songs celebrating the sounds of the season. "When I Think of Christmas," starring Shenae Grimes-Beech, Niall Matter and Beth Broderick, features the song of the same name co-written by six-time Grammy(R) Award winner Amy Grant, Matt Maher and Jason Ingram. R&B recording artist Ledisi stars in "All Saints Christmas" and performs her original song "Home on Christmas" as well as "Be There for Christmas," while other tracks from her album It's Christmas will be featured in the movie. Singer-songwriter Tenille Townes, who appears in "Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas," the fifth installment of the franchise starring Holland Roden and Tyler Hynes from Executive Producer Blake Shelton, also performs a cover version of Shelton's song "Time for Me to Come Home." "Hanukkah on Rye," starring Yael Grobglas and Jeremy Jordan, features the hit song "Light" by Grammy(R) Award winner Lisa Loeb, who will also appear in a cameo role. "A Fabled Holiday" starring Brooke D'Orsay and Ryan Paevey, features a cameo by renowned violinist and dancer Lindsey Stirling, who performs "Joy to the World" off her upcoming Christmas album, Snow Waltz.

On Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, viewers can celebrate the holidays with new originals inspired by two beloved Hallmark brands. "The Gift of Peace," starring Nikki DeLoach and Brennan Elliott, is the first movie produced under DaySpring, the highly popular faith-based brand and "The Holiday Stocking," starring Nadine Ellis, Tamala Jones, BJ Britt, Karon Riley and Mykelti Williamson is the third installment of the critically acclaimed Mahogany banner and first Christmas movie.

Hallmark's commitment to creating heartwarming holiday movies that offer something for everyone continues. On Hallmark Channel, the rich and diverse culture of Chinese Americans is at the heart of two movies, "A Big Fat Family Christmas" and "Christmas at the Golden Dragon." "Hanukkah on Rye" is a new story set against the backdrop of The Festival of Lights while "Holiday Heritage" starring Lyndie Greenwood, Brooks Darnell and Holly Robinson Peete, marks the network's first-ever movie celebrating Kwanzaa. "The Holiday Sitter" features Jonathan Bennett and George Krissa as the first lead LGBTQ+ couple in a holiday movie. On Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, "Our Italian Christmas Memories" starring Sarah Power and Beau Bridges is a touching tale about Italian siblings who look to a family tradition as they try to jog the memory of their grandfather struggling with dementia.

Hallmark Media extends the celebration beyond the screen with numerous ways for viewers to bring the Hallmark holiday magic to life. Hallmark Channel and Bissinger's teamed up to create a brand-new hot cocoa bomb and reprise their hit chocolate advent calendar, both available at Bissingers.com and Hallmark Gold Crown stores. The ever-popular Republic of Tea Countdown to Christmas flavors return as well, with Cardamom Cinnamon and Gingerbread Cookie collectible tins canisters available at Cost Plus World Market, republicoftea.com, Amazon and Hallmark Gold Crown stores. Fans can choose from festive products to gift to a friend or to bring to their next Hallmark holiday viewing party, including Hallmark Channel Wines' holiday offerings Jingle, Joy, Holly, and Jolly; a "Countdown to Christmas"-themed Monopoly game; a new edition of the decadent coffee table book titled Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas: Celebrate the Movie Magic; all-new Hallmark Publishing holiday titles; an authentic line of Hallmark Channel-branded Hallmark Cards gifts, and more.

Additional partners getting in the Hallmark Channel holiday spirit include Chex, which will debut Countdown to Chexmas in a special promotion and sweepstakes across grocery stores nationwide; Hershey's, which will bring its holiday baking contest back for the second year, offering one lucky fan a walk-on movie role; and Conagra, which will again launch the Snack, Watch and Win sweepstakes, where viewers can enter for a chance to win a Home Entertainment Center. Hallmark Media's streaming service is getting in on the fun as well, with a unique, new promotion with M&M's(R) where spending $5 on select M&M'S(R) products will provide two free weeks of Hallmark Movies Now. Fans will also be able to enjoy the Hallmark Channel Christmas season with in-person activations, such as the network's sponsorship of Enchant, the world's largest Christmas light maze and village, and other festive opportunities throughout the season.

All throughout the year, Hallmark Media's Hallmark Movie Checklist App serves as the ultimate holiday viewing guide, allowing users to set reminders, watch trailers, and keep apprised of Hallmark's linear schedule. An exciting new development in the app is the Holiday Lens, an augmented reality experience in which users can interact with festive holiday features. As the go-to destination for the latest information and engaging features related to "Countdown to Christmas," HallmarkChannel.com will once again host multiple sweepstakes and game experiences. Hallmark Channel's Very Merry Giveaway Sweepstakes will feature the return of 'win one, share one' with each winner receiving a second matching prize to share with a loved one, friend or someone in need.
