You can also access Hallmark Channel Everywhere with fuboTV. Fubo also delivers a 7-day free trial, but is $91.99 / month after that.
If you time those Philo and fuboTV trials correctly, you’d have 14 days to use the app for free. But it may be worth splurging for the $25 Philo subscription so you don’t have to rush. Philo also includes 60 channels, so you’re getting more than just Hallmark for your holidays.
With the Hallmark Channel, get ready for an advent calendar full of stories of high school sweethearts, small town families, Christmas Eve miracles, and heartwarming connections. Happy holidays!
