Hallmark Channel Spoilers – All About Hallmark Plus Streaming Channel

Hallmark+ will launch in September, offering fans more content to enjoy during the Christmas season and beyond.

The network announced the streaming site on social media, promising a place where fans can stream joy, earn rewards, and share love. Hallmark Movies Now is changing its name to Hallmark+ and will offer exclusive movies and series.

The network announced new membership benefits including free cards, monthly coupons, surprise gifts, and more on social media.

Hallmark is launching its first holiday TV series, Holidazed, exclusively on Hallmark+, and Lacey Chabert, Luke Macfarlane, and other Hallmark favorites will host their own original series on the streaming platform.

Hallmark Channel Spoilers – All About ‘Holidazed’

‘Holidazed’ is Hallmark’s first show dedicated to the holiday season, and will feature six families from diverse backgrounds living on the same street, each navigating through the holidays.

It features Dennis Haysbert, Loretta Devine, Ser’Darius Blain, Virginia Madsen, John C. McGinley, Lucille Soong, Osric Chau, Rachelle Lefevre, Lindy Booth, Ian Harding, Erin Cahill, Noemi Gonzalez, Holland Roden, and Nazneen Contractor.

It sounds like an intriguing idea, with the families mingling and jingling and getting to know each other. It is a comedy and the six families in Oak Bay, Oregon, live on the same cul de sac, as they deal with the joys and stress of coming home for the holidays.

Hallmark Channel Spoilers – Mistletoe Murders And Love On The Danube

Mistletoe Murders, announced in May, will be available for streaming on Hallmark+ during the holiday season.

The rom-com franchise will showcase three love stories in one beautiful destination, featuring Dan Jeannotte, Jessica Šipoš, Brendan Penny, Sarah Power, Wes Brown, and Contractor.

From Germany’s Black Forest to Romania’s Black Sea, the Danube River winds its way through stunning European cities and countryside, passing by farms, vineyards, and quaint villages.

Hallmark Channel Spoilers – Groomsmen Come In Threes

Hallmark’s The Wedding Veil trilogy was a hit, and now fans can look forward to The Groomsmen trilogy, featuring Tyler Hynes, Jonathan Bennett, and B.J. Britt.

The films will focus on the romantic lives of three best friends from different backgrounds, cultures, and sexual orientations.

They will find love and happiness in beautiful locations like Greece, Italy, and Bulgaria. The trilogy will premiere later this year on Hallmark+.

Hallmark Channel Spoilers – The First Christmas Reality Show

Bennett, known for The Groomsmen films, will also host the network’s first reality competition show called Finding Mr. Christmas.

He joked at the TCA event, “There are people that watch Hallmark movies and then there are liars.” The show will feature 10 aspiring actors competing in Hallmark-themed challenges to win a leading role in a “Countdown to Christmas” movie.

Melissa Peterman will be the lead judge with a special guest judge in each episode. All are welcome to try out for the competition reality show.

Hallmark Channel Spoilers – A Narrator Is Found For ‘The Chicken Sisters’

Hallmark unveiled a sneak peek of their new series The Chicken Sisters during the TCAs. In the preview, Amanda (played by Schuyler Fisk) shares with her mother-in-law, Nancy (portrayed by Lea Thompson), that the popular reality show Kitchen Clash is heading to their quaint town.

Despite Amanda’s playful offer to back out if Nancy isn’t comfortable, she manages to persuade her to join the competition against a rival fried chicken eatery nearby.

The show, which also features Genevieve Angelson as Mae and Wendie Malick as Gus, will be narrated by Margo Martindale and is set to premiere in September.
