Hallmark Christmas movies this weekend: Nov. 14 and 15 lineup

Tyler Hynes gets stuck in a Christmas Eve time loop Saturday, and Hallmark will air that movie again on the real Christmas Eve. Friday’s premiere was written by its star, Amy Acker.

Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas has three new movies this weekend, one a night, all at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) on Hallmark Channel.

Saturday’s pick is the one with a twist. In The Nights Before Christmas, Tyler Hynes plays Marty, who keeps waking up on Christmas Eve “and he loves it,” Hallmark says. Then he meets Chloe, played by Laci J. Mailey, and finally wants to see Christmas Day.

Hallmark’s own schedule has the movie airing again on Thursday, Dec. 24, at 8 p.m. So yes, you can watch the Christmas Eve loop on actual Christmas Eve. Very meta.

Each movie streams the next day on Hallmark+, so a busy Saturday night isn’t a dealbreaker.

What new Hallmark Christmas movies premiere this weekend?

Here’s the lineup from Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas page, with the dates each one hits Hallmark+:

• Friday, Nov. 13, 8 p.m. ET: My Christmas Cowboy. Amy Acker and Luke Macfarlane, with Sara Canning. Streams Saturday, Nov. 14.

• Saturday, Nov. 14, 8 p.m. ET: The Nights Before Christmas. Tyler Hynes and Laci J. Mailey. Streams Sunday, Nov. 15.

• Sunday, Nov. 15, 8 p.m. ET: Mistletoe and Mimosas. Tamera Mowry-Housley and Kristoffer Polaha, with Jennifer Robertson. Streams Monday, Nov. 16.

All three are part of Hallmark’s 34 new original movies this season, TVLine reported. The Countdown started Oct. 16 and keeps premiering new movies through Dec. 20.

What is My Christmas Cowboy about?

Acker plays Meg, a small-town Texas TV news producer who never chased her dream of being on camera. Macfarlane plays Billy, her college crush, now a Hollywood host in trouble after an on-air gaffe, Entertainment Now reported.

Hallmark says a college newsroom mishap sent the two down “opposite life paths.” They reunite in the fictional town of Fern, Texas, to save its Christmas Roundup.

The fun fact here: Acker wrote the movie. It’s her first Hallmark script and her first Hallmark movie in five years, since 2021’s Crashing Through the Snow, per Entertainment Now. If you missed it Friday, it’s on Hallmark+ Saturday.

What is The Nights Before Christmas about?

Marty’s life is stuck in a rut, and one Christmas Eve he wishes for more time. He gets it, over and over. The catch is that Chloe doesn’t remember him the next “day.”

Hynes is also an executive producer. Entertainment Now said he planned a free screening at the Vancouver theater where much of the movie takes place.

Think Groundhog Day, but with more twinkle lights and fewer groundhogs.

What is Mistletoe and Mimosas about?

Mowry-Housley plays Claire, a Manhattan business consultant who inherits her late uncle’s Christmas-themed restaurant and bar in upstate New York. It comes with a pile of debt, and a rival manager named Zach, played by Polaha, next door.

Mowry-Housley executive produced it. Polaha, who has made a lot of these, told Entertainment Now it may be his favorite Christmas movie he’s ever been in. Big words from a Hallmark veteran.

Hallmark lists encore airings on Monday, Nov. 16 (6 p.m.), Saturday, Nov. 21 (10 p.m.) and Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26 (6 p.m.).

How can I stream Hallmark Christmas movies?

You have a few options, depending on whether you want them live or the next day:

• Hallmark+: Hallmark’s own streaming service gets each new movie the day after it premieres. It offers a free trial, per its website.

• Hallmark+ add-ons: Hallmark+ has also been sold through Prime Video Channels, Philo and Fubo, Cord Cutters News reported.

• Live TV: Hallmark Channel is carried by Philo, Frndly TV, Sling TV, Fubo, DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV, per Cord Cutters News. Check your plan’s channel list, since packages change.

• Cable or satellite: Hallmark Channel’s encores run all week, so you can catch up on TV without streaming at all.

Hallmark movies left Peacock in 2025, so don’t look there.
