How to Watch 2023 Christmas in July Movies from Hallmark, Great American Family, Free Streaming Services
We might be getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July, but for many people, that is the perfect excuse to put on a comfy sweater and curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy some holiday-themed romance, just not the kind you do with cookouts and fireworks. As the calendar turns from June to July, a number of cable and streaming outlets are hauling out the holly and celebrating Christmas in July.
If getting into the second half of the year means that you are already turning your attention to the year-end holidays, we here at The Streamable will run you through some of the best ways to get into the spirit with the familiar, low-stakes feeling of the very specific brand of holiday rom-coms.
What Holiday Movies Will Hallmark Channel Air During Christmas in July 2023?
For many people, when they think of this particular brand of light-hearted fare, they immediately associate it with the Hallmark Channel. For decades, the cable network has been the gold standard of feel-good romances, and this July, Hallmark is debuting two new original holiday films. The first, “A Royal Christmas Crush,” will premiere on Saturday, July 8 at 8 p.m. ET, while “Take Me Back for Christmas” debuts the following week on July 15 at 8 p.m.
But that’s not all, throughout the entire month, the channel will be airing non-stop holiday movies from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET (and sometimes longer over the weekends), starting off with a fan-favorite marathon on July 1 and running through July 4. These movies were selected by Hallmark viewers and they can also help program weekdays throughout the month as well by voting in a poll on the Hallmark Movie Checklist app launching every Monday.
