Countdown to Christmas: Unwrap 30+ New Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas Movies in 2025

There may not be as many Hallmark Channel and Lifetime Christmas movies debuting this season as there were last year (over 50 in 2024—that’s a lot of meet-cutes), but there’s still plenty to watch. No matter what’s in your eggnog, you and your couch will be just fine.

Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” and Lifetime’s “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” marathons are packed with over 30 new rom-coms, and we have your viewing schedule right here.

All movies start at 8 p.m. ET/PT unless otherwise noted.

Premieres Friday, Dec. 12: Rival journalists Megan (Emma Johnson) and Oliver (Marcus Rosner) become stranded in Alaska when their plane goes down in the great Christmas-y north. Will the snow-laden setting spark a romance between them? The answer is obvious; the important “news” story they were chasing over the holidays is less so.

Premieres Saturday, Dec. 13: Emma (Rebecca Dalton) finds herself ranch-sitting for a friend and tending to an injured horse over Christmas, because of course she’s single. She soon strikes up a feisty relationship with dark and handsome local Noal (Corey Sevier), and they both learn a lesson about the magic of the season—not to mention equestrian hospice.

Premieres Sunday, Dec. 14: A broken water pipe leaves the members of Temple Beth Ann with nowhere to celebrate Hanukkah, so St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church across the street takes them. But this means that conveniently single youth choir directors Nikki (Brooke D’Orsay) and Jake (Jake Epstein) will have to work together on a combined Hanukkah/Christmas Eve music program. Oy, indeed.

Premieres Saturday, Nov. 20: When tennis pro Luke (James Lafferty) returns home to Florida for Christmas, he’s hit with the news that his family’s racquet club is being forced to sell. Luckily, there’s a winner-takes-all holiday pickleball tournament, so he doubles up with plucky p-ball coach Caroline (Zibby Allen) to save the club—does love ultimately dink all?

Premieres Sunday, Dec. 21: New couple Erin (Ali Liebert) and Kelly (Katherine Barrell) are navigating their first Christmas together when a baby boy suddenly shows up on their doorstep. Will they be able to adapt and adopt the mystery child? More importantly, will the Hallmark holiday audience accept two women in a romantic relationship? The War on Christmas rages on.
