Hallmark's Christmas In July Schedule Is Here To Deliver Major Holiday Cheer
There's an all-new Christmas movie called Crashing Through the Snow.
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year—and Christmas in July is a close second! For whatever reason, every year around this time we get a strong craving for a little Christmas magic. Thankfully, Hallmark is obliging with its annual Christmas in July lineup.
The summer celebration will kick off with an all-new Christmas movie, Crashing Through the Snow. The film follows Maggie (Amy Acker) as she joins her ex-husband Jeff (Kristian Brunn) and his new girlfriend Kate (Brooke Nevin) on a Christmas vacation in Aspen. When Maggie meets Kate's brother Sam (Warren Christie), sparks fly.
"Maggie and Sam are crashing Christmas. When he proposes they team up against his sister's perfect Christmas, neither of them are prepared for the blended family challenges that lie ahead," the official description for the movie says.
The festive lineup will also include a 2020 Movie Marathon, Soap Sunday, and Countdown to Christmas Greatest Hits. All that to say, you can expect to see many of your favorite Hallmark Christmas movies and stars through the years, including Holly Robinson Peete, Candace Cameron Bure, and Lacey Chabert. It all starts on Friday, July 9—roughly 100 days before Hallmark's beloved 24/7 holiday programming begins—and runs through Sunday, July 31.
