The 29 Best Hallmark Holiday Movies of All Time (and Where to Watch Them)

Chyler Leigh and Paul Campbell star as Sloan and Jake, coworkers at a department store competing for the same promotion by attempting to bring in more customers via window displays. Cameron Mathison plays her boyfriend who just doesn’t get her the same way Jake does (and around whom she puts on a facade as to who she really is). Plus Sloan and Jake bond while locked in overnight at the store — who doesn’t love that trope?

It’s a classic fake fiancé story: Bonnie Somerville’s Hillary hires Jordan Bridges’ David to pose as her beau after her real one breaks up with her. Her family (Shelley Long and Sam McMurray as her parents, Haylie Duff as her sister) falls in love with him, they fall in love with each other, and it becomes all too real.

For something a bit different: video game designers (Mallory Jansen and Tyler Hynes), both up for the same promotion, team up to create a romantic scavenger app around the city (done via an app). Of course they fall in love while completing the activities themselves! (Bonus: Both get promotions.)

Jennifer (Brooke Burns) finds love when her uncle, Ralph (Henry Winkler), brings a man he met on a flight home for Christmas (Warren Christie’s Morgan).

It’s the typical reporter (Katrina Law) falls for a member (Jordan Belfi) of the politician’s family she’s looking to write an exposé on for a big bonus at work. She accidentally spends the holidays with the family, and things, predictably, get messy. It also stars Tom Lenk, Patricia Richardson, and Robert Curtis Brown.

Who doesn’t love a feel-good, family movie about the magic of Christmas? Bailee Madison stars as an elf, Clementine, Robert Wagner and Jill St. John as Santa and Mrs. Claus, and Tiffani Thiessen as a mother who needs to rediscover the love of the holiday (and be charmed by her son’s teacher, played by Josh Hopkins).

No, this movie isn’t on the list because of the One Tree Hill reunion (though we love it). Torrey DeVitto’s Jessica sends Christmas cards to people who have had a meaningful impact on her life — including a music teacher, whose son (Chad Michael Murray’s Luke) opens it since she’s away. There’s a fake (but totally real) kiss while he’s dressed as Santa. What’s not to love?

It’s the typical “you help me and I’ll help you” story. Annie (Kimberley Sustad) wants to save her family’s café, and William (Paul Campbell) needs a lawyer. Not only are Sustad and Campbell wonderful together, but they also wrote the script!

While producing a popular annual Christmas special, Maggie (Jessy Schram) travels with the star’s son, Danny (Chad Michael Murray), to bring his brothers home for the occasion. There are the typical holiday festivities, a surprise family reunion, and heartwarming stories.

It’s fake dating — only they broke up! A man (Tyler Hynes) never told his family he and his girlfriend (Bethany Joy Lenz) broke up … and so when she happens to be at the same airport (for a work trip) as he is, his sister assumes she’s there to spend the holidays with them. Keeping up the ruse — she needs a place to stay after a mix-up at the hotel — leads to feelings coming back.

Just as Lindsay’s (Eloise Mumford) trying to decide whether to marry her longtime boyfriend Jason (Michael Stahl-David) or take an amazing job and move away, she gets the opportunity to see what her life would be like three years in the future if she chose the latter.

A case of mistaken identity and a single mother (Bethany Joy Lenz) in need of a job after being fired (for being late because she helped a woman in a medical emergency) while facing eviction and a custody battle with her ex-husband (Greyston Holt) leads to love with the grandson (John Reardon) of the woman she helped and family she never knew she had.

Willa (Autumn Reeser) and Finn (David Haydn-Jones) meet at a bed & breakfast for the holidays, only she doesn’t know he sought her out because he thinks the nurse is a gold-digger who stole his family’s money from his dying father. Add in her adorable son, who is a fan of Finn’s books and survived a serious illness, and it’s a heartwarming tale.

A travel writer (Bridget Regan’s Emory) and a single father (Travis Van Winkle’s Scott), his daughter, and his mom (Teryl Rothery) end up booked in the same cabin for the holidays.

The latest in the Come Home for Christmas franchise is also the best so far, with two love stories to hold your attention. Elizabeth (Holland Roden) and Josh (Tyler Hynes) are best friends who fell apart after a tragedy (and have no idea their feelings are requited) but are reunited after she receives a voicemail not meant for her. They get a second chance while tracking down the intended recipient and Elizabeth discovers the personal connection she has to the caller.

Cats, Brandon Routh (as a firefighter), and Kimberley Sustad (as a veterinary student) — need we say more? Orange tabby Ambrose adopts Routh’s Zachary, and eventually Sustad’s Marilee and her cat end up living with them. Who knew that a fact about mountain lions could lead into the big kiss at the end of a Hallmark movie?

A family (Robert Buckley, Treat Williams, Sharon Lawrence, Jonathan Bennett) reunites for the holidays to recreate the extravagantly decorated Christmas house while dealing with their own personal problems: Mike (Buckley) reconnects with an ex (Ana Ayora), Brandon and his husband (Brad Harder) wait to hear about adoption, and the parents (Williams and Lawrence) plan to sell the family home.

It’s a fun house swap story with three different, equally compelling love stories: Emily (Faith Ford) and the brother (Gil Bellows’ Ray) of the man with whom she switched, Charles (Tom Cavanagh), as she goes to Boston to visit her daughter; Emily’s best friend Faith (Gabrielle Miller) and Charles as he works on a novel and she critiques it; and Emily’s daughter Heather (Emma Lahana), out of town with her boyfriend (Andrew Francis).

You wouldn’t think a train would be the best place for quite the production to reunite exes (Dermot Mulroney, Kimberly Williams-Paisley), but that’s exactly what a movie director (Danny Glover) does. It’s theatrical at times, as well as heartwarming, and it also stars Joan Cusack.

There’s more than one twist on A Christmas Carol in this film when it comes to the Scrooge (Ian Harding’s Peter) the Ghosts are supposed to be helping this year. Not only do we learn quite a bit about Christmas Present (Kim Matula) and watch a love story unfold on Peter’s journey, but Lori Tan Chinn and Reginald VelJohnson are also so much fun as Past and Future.

Can you stream? No, not on the primary services.

Equally as heartwarming and compelling are Mark (Sean Faris) and Maggie’s (Eloise Mumford) romance and him and his brothers (Daniel Eric Gold and Dana Watkins) caring for their niece, Holly (Josie Gallina), following her mother’s death. The latter also makes for some humorous moments (like cooking the turkey).

Krissy Kringle (Hilarie Burton Morgan), due to her name, accidentally ends up with Santa’s “Naughty or Nice” book and uses it to her advantage when it comes to her boyfriend (Matt Dallas), former colleagues, and neighbors. But as she learns, there are two sides to people (and the book). Plus, it’s fun watching her and new coworker Marco (Gabriel Tigerman) together, especially since the movie doesn’t try to make them anything but friends. (Bonus: One Tree Hill reunion with Danneel Ackles!)

With three of Hallmark’s leading me in one film, there were high expectations for this one — and it delivered! Paul Campbell (who co-wrote it with Kimberley Sustad, who made a cameo), Tyler Hynes, and Andrew Walker play three brothers who end up watching a baby left at the fire station for a few days leading up to Christmas. Their romances are secondary; the focus (and it’s done so well!) is on the brothers’ relationships with each other and their mother (Margaret Colin).

Can you stream? Yes, on Peacock and Fubo.

With Broadway stars, a fun plot, and a great ensemble, this one’s pure entertainment (and musical!). Anna (Laura Osnes) and her father end up sheltering a royal family (Victoria Clark and Aaron Tveit) during a blizzard. Soon, they don’t want to leave, Anna and the prince fall in love, and there’s a great side romance between the town’s mayor (Krystal Joy Brown) and prince’s best friend (Bradley Rose).

In Hallmark’s first movie with a leading LGBTQ+ couple, Sam (Jonathan Bennett) turns to his sister’s neighbor Jason (George Krissa) to help look after her kids in the days leading up to Christmas (and not burn anything again). It is so much fun and easily one of Hallmark’s best, even with it following a similar format to other holiday rom-coms — the meet-cute, the attraction, the misunderstanding, the get-together and kiss only happening at the end.

Can you stream? No, not on the primary services.

One of Hallmark’s few Thanksgiving films, this one follows Emily (Autumn Reeser), who coordinates the holiday’s parade every year in Chicago, as she clashes with new consultant Henry (Antonio Cupo) — about the event and relationships. But don’t worry: by the end of the movie, she’ll have her best day ever.
