A Guide to Every Holiday Movie on TV This 2024 Season

Hallmark, Great American Family, Netflix, Lifetime and more networks have expanded their holiday movie catalog — and Us has the full list for every festive fan.

Both Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” lineup and Great American Family’s “Great American Christmas” kicked off the season in October. With the addition of the Hallmark Mystery channel and the new streaming service Hallmark+, the network produced 47 all-new features in time for Christmas.

Netflix, meanwhile, lured a few Hallmark favorites with its holiday slate, including Lacey Chabert for Hot Frosty and Chad Michael Murray for The Merry Gentlemen.

Ian Harding is pulling double duty this season starring alongside Lindsay Lohan in Netflix’s Our Little Secret and Hallmark+’s first Christmas TV series, Holidazed. (No, it doesn’t count as a holiday movie, but it’s still a lot of holiday cheer for one actor.)
