Hallmark’s Christmas in July Lineup Just Dropped—and That 4-Part Movie Premiere? I Have Thoughts

Okay, it's hot outside, the AC is on full blast, and somehow we’re already halfway through the year (how?!). But if you need a little joy to break up the summer haze, Hallmark Channel has you covered—because Christmas in July is officially back.

The annual celebration of all things cozy and twinkly first launched in 2012 and it's been a warm-weather tradition ever since. And while the holiday season may still be months away, Hallmark is delivering a full lineup of feel-good favorites and brand-new premieres that’ll have you reaching for hot cocoa (or, let’s be real, an iced peppermint latte).

This year’s biggest highlight? The debut of Hallmark’s first-ever four-part holiday movie franchise, Unwrapping Christmas. The series originally dropped on Hallmark+ in fall 2024, but this July marks the first time the festive saga is airing on cable—and it’s basically a rom-com marathon waiting to happen.

The four-part Unwrapping Christmas series kicks off on July 5 with Tina’s Miracle, which follows a determined gift-wrapping shop owner (played by Natalie Hall) as she tries to save her town’s beloved Christmas Gala from being shut down by a grinchy estate owner.

Then, on July 12, Mia’s Prince takes center stage, starring Kathryn Davis as an accountant whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets a man who seems pulled straight from the pages of her favorite book.

The third installment, Lily's Destiny, drops on July 19 and stars Ashley Newbrough navigating a love triangle between a charming realtor and a thoughtful journalist—both of whom just might be her perfect match.

Finally, July 26 brings us Olivia’s Reunion, where Cindy Busby plays a holiday expert who gets snowed in at a remote cabin… with her ex. Naturally, sparks (and maybe snowflakes) start to fly.
