Hallmark are gifting fans an early Christmas movie. They are releasing all of their 2024 Countdown To Christmas and Miracles Of Christmas movies to the rebranded Hallmark+ streaming channel. This is a reversal of the network’s original decision to wait 6-9 months before releasing new movies.

However, that is not the only change. In addition, they made a major change when they stream 2025 linear movies on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery. Here are all the details.

Big changes are coming to Hallmark+ in 2025. After just a few months since launching, the platform is making some adjustments to its strategy. Initially, Hallmark+ was planned to show separate content from the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery Channel, but that’s all about to change.

Starting in 2025, all new Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery original movies will be available to stream on Hallmark+ the day after they air on TV, as Variety reports.

To prepare for this shift, Hallmark added a dozen new holiday movies on December 17, and another 24 are scheduled for December 20. This gives Hallmark+ members access to over 40 holiday movies, including all the 2024 holiday content from Hallmark’s linear networks.

Right now, Hallmark has a deal with Peacock, which means movies from the ‘Countdown to Christmas’ event are available for streaming three days after airing. That’s why a movie like Trading Up Christmas (which airs December...

Hallmark+ is making some major changes, three months after its launch. The streaming platform was originally set to stream separate content from the Hallmark Channel/Hallmark Mystery debuts, but that will change heading into the new year.

Effective in 2025, all new Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery original movie premieres will be streaming the next day on Hallmark+. A dozen were added on Dec. 17, with 24 more being added on Dec. 20.

Hallmark+ members will have access to over 40 Hallmark original holiday movies, including all 2024 holiday content from the linear networks. Hallmark currently has a deal with Peacock, in which original “Countdown to Christmas” movies are available to stream for three days after they air. (This is likely why “Trading Up Christmas” which airs Dec. 19 and is not hitting the app quite yet.)

In July, Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP of programming at Hallmark Media, told Variety that “Countdown to Christmas” would remain a...

Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley discussed parenting and behind-the-scenes details on her new movie, Scouting For Christmas, in her new uInterview.

Scouting For Christmas, a Hallmark Channel rom-com, follows a single mom (Housley) as she tries to make the holiday season memorable for her daughter in the wake of her father’s absence.

Housley drew a picture of her character. “Angela has been divorced for about two years. She is a real estate agent. She is a real estate agent because she wants to, you know, provide for her new life as a single mom,” she told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “She’s taken major responsibility for her daughter’s life to make sure she’s stable emotionally and, just physically because her ex-husband travels a lot; he has a lot going on. He’s not a bad person; he’s just not the best husband. So it’s important to Angela...

Scouting for Christmas starring Tamera Mowry will showcase life’s imperfection. Mowry’s role will explore her taking on a mother’s situation and how with motherhood, “best” is “enough.”

Getting Into The Holiday Spirit With Tamera Mowry

As an American actress, television personality, and former singer, Tamera Mowry has been in the business for a while and has worn many hats. She is best known for the reality TV series she did with her sister, Tia & Tamera, and their debut in the sitcom Sister, Sister.

In addition to having multiple Hallmark films and shows, she is also known for the movies Twitches and Twitches Too, which she also did with her sister Tia and followed a similar trail as her debut with separated sisters. In both storylines, they coincidentally meet at the mall. She was also a host on the talk show, The Real.

Furthermore, Tamera knows a thing...

Scouting for Christmas tells the heartwarming story of single mother Angela Bates as she juggles work and parenting while her daughter Brooklyn hopes to see her find happiness again.

Tamera Mowry-Housley shines in the lead role of Angela, bringing warmth and humanity to a character just wanting to give her little girl the world. When Brooklyn sees a spark between her mother and kind-hearted baker William Glass, played charmingly by Ivory Ken, she hatches a plan to get them together for the holidays.

Of course, life is never so simple. As Angela and William start to connect over joint efforts for the Sunny Scouts holiday ball, past relationships and worries about the future threaten to hold them back.

Executive producer Barbara Fisher handles these emotional beats with care, avoiding saccharine shortcuts to focus on what really matters—the love between a mother and daughter and a community joining together in the spirit of the season.

Scouting for Christmas is premiering tonight (October 20)!

The Hallmark Channel original movie premieres on Sunday (October 20) at 8 p.m. Et.

Here’s a synopsis: “A single mom tries to make her daughter’s Christmas special since her dad is working overseas for the holidays. She partners with her daughter’s favorite baker for the Holiday Ball.”
