What’s on the Hallmark schedule this weekend? Christmas, Christmas, and…Halloween. (Well, it is the end of October after all.) While Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries will continue to air round-the-clock Christmas movies, Hallmark Drama will air a Good Witch movie marathon. (For a full schedule of the Good Witch marathon, click here.)
Four new movies will premiere, including one that was filmed on location in London.
Jolly Good Christmas stars Will Kemp and Reshma Shetty. Kemp plays David, an American who recently moved to London for a prime career opportunity with a prestigious firm. While out shopping for a Christmas gift for his girlfriend, David crosses paths with Anji (Shetty), a professional shopper, who raises an eyebrow over his choice of a gift card. When David and Anji end up crossing paths again, he decides to hire her to help him find just the right gift. Thanks to a series of unexpected events, David finds himself on a wild adventure across Jolly Old London as Anji helps him search for the perfect present.
Also premiering this weekend is A Cozy Christmas Inn, starring Jodie Sweetin, David O’Donnell, and Vivica A. Fox. According to a synopsis from the network, “The holidays are quickly approaching, and real estate tycoon Sharon Farris (played by Vivica A. Fox,) knows what she wants for Christmas: a picturesque small bed and breakfast in the quaint Christmas-centric town of Garland, Alaska. She sends one of her junior execs, Erika (Sweetin), to convince the owner to sell. Much to Erika’s surprise, the owner turns out to be Andy Holliday (O’Donnell), her ex-boyfriend from college. As Erika spends time in the town trying to convince Andy and his father Frank (Brian Doyle-Murray) to sell the property, she finds herself falling in love, both with the town of Garland and with her ex-boyfriend. When she learns that business has been poor and that Andy’s on the verge of bankruptcy, she decides to use her knowledge and experience to help him keep the very hotel she’d been sent to take away from him.
On Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, Erin Cahill and Steve Lund will headline the new movie Christmas Bedtime Stories. Cahill stars as Danielle, a woman raising her daughter alone after her husband has been declared MIA during an overseas deployment. As Danielle attempts to move on with her life, her daughter starts asking questions about her father. Danielle begins to tell Audrey bedtime stories featuring her dad as a real-life hero.
Finally, Ghosts of Christmas Always will premiere on Sunday. Kim Matula stars as Katherine, who works for the Department of Restoring Christmas Spirit as a Ghost of Christmas Present. She loves her job, visiting Earth every Christmas to help one unsuspecting soul rediscover their Christmas spirit. But this year has something unusual in store for her. Along with her co-workers, Ghost of Christmas Past Arlene (Tan Chinn) and Ghost of Christmas Future Roy (VelJohnson), their assignment is a man named Peter (Ian Harding). They’re not sure why they’ve been assigned to him because, unlike their typical cases, Peter seems to love Christmas.
