The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will air a record-breaking 40 original movies as part of its 10th anniversary of its “Countdown to Christmas” celebration.
The first flick, “A Merry Christmas Match,” airs Oct. 25, launching a movie marathon through Dec. 28, capping off with “New Year, New Me.”
The films will star Hallmark fan-favorite actors like Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin of “Full House” fame, Broadway’s Kristin Chenoweth and Tamera Mowry-Housley, among many other stars such as country music icon Dolly Parton.
