A Nostalgic Gem: Happy Holidays from Cherry Lane
One of the standout films this season (so far) is Happy Holidays from Cherry Lane. It’s about a multi-generational story that beautifully weaves together three timelines.
In 1960, a family faces the challenge of hosting a grumpy grandfather during the holidays while working on a school time capsule project. In 1998, a blizzard unexpectedly brings two strangers together on Christmas Eve. And in 2015, a wedding planner reunites with her ex, who happens to be officiating the wedding she’s organizing.
It’s a heartfelt, nostalgic, and quietly humorous film that captures everything we love about Hallmark storytelling. The cozy small-town setting and the tender moments of forgiveness and joy make Cherry Lane a perfect addition to your holiday watch list.

Coming Soon: The Christmas Cookbook
If your favorite holiday scenes involve cozy kitchens, festive baking, and a dash of romance, mark your calendar for November 27. The Christmas Cookbook is a new Hallmark movie that’s sure to become a seasonal favorite.
The story follows a food stylist who joins a famous chef to create a special Christmas cookbook. What begins as a professional collaboration soon unfolds into something warmer. Then, more personal as both rediscover the meaning of the holidays through family recipes, creativity, and connection.
Expect all the elements that make Hallmark holiday films so delightful. You’ll find soft lighting, heartfelt dialogue, and an atmosphere that feels like home. It’s the perfect film to enjoy with something sweet baking in the oven.

Why We Love the Hallmark Christmas Countdown
