How to Watch Hallmark Christmas Movies Without Cable

For fans of Hallmark movies, it is never too early to start thinking about Christmas. The same goes for the Hallmark Channel itself, because the Christmas movies start before Halloween, y’all! Truthfully, 2020 has been such a nightmare of a year, maybe we all do need a little Christmas right this very minute.

As you get ready for the constant Christmas content coming your way, you’re probably wondering how you can even watch all of the Hallmark holiday films if you’ve already cut the cord. Do you have to have cable to watch a big city girl fall in love with a small town baker while saving the local youth center from being bulldozed (starring Jodie Sweetin, probably)? Here’s everything you need to know about streaming the Hallmark holiday movies in 2020!

Can you watch Hallmark Christmas movies without cable?

Yes, you can! In order to watch Hallmark’s 2020 slate of holiday films, you can subscribe to a number of live TV streaming services that include Hallmark (and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries) in their channel lineups. These options charge a flat monthly or annual fee rate and give you the ability to watch channels live as they air. They also include DVR and on-demand capabilities that will let you catch up on any movies you miss.

The live TV services that include Hallmark and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are:

• Frndly TV – $5.99/month – 7-day free trial – 15 channels
• Philo – $20/month – 7-day free trial – 60+ channels
• Sling TV (with Lifestyle Extra) – $35/month – 3-day free trial – 50+ channels
• AT&T TV Now – $55/month – 7-day free trial – 50+ channels
• FuboTV – $64.99/month – 7-day free trial – 120+ channels

Note that two popular live TV streaming services, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV, do not include the Hallmark channels in their lineups.

Also—if you already have traditional, regular ol’ cable, you can watch Hallmark live online using Hallmark Channel Everywhere. Just login with your cable login and get to streaming.

Where can you stream Hallmark Christmas movies?

If you miss one of the many, many Countdown to Christmas Hallmark movies as they air this year, you’re in luck. If you’re subscribing to one of the live TV streamers above, you’ll have the ability to record the movies you want to see as they air, catch them when they rerun, or pull them up on-demand.

You can’t, however, watch the 2020 Hallmark Christmas movie lineup on Hallmark’s streaming service, Hallmark Movies Now. Let’s talk about the Hallmark Movies Now app!

Can you watch Hallmark Christmas movies on the Hallmark Movies Now app?

You can—but not this year’s Hallmark Christmas movies. You can find the holiday movies offered on Hallmark Movies Now in their Movies & Mistletoe section. These are films from previous countdowns to Christmas, but not this year’s countdown. If you want to watch the new Hallmark Christmas movies, you’ll have to get a live TV streaming service.

Hallmark Movies Now is $4.99/month with a 7-day free trial.
