New Hallmark Christmas movies to binge watch this weekend

Hallmark is kicking off the 2024 Christmas season early this year with three new Christmas movies set to premiere this weekend.

These new Hallmark holiday movies include Trivia at St. Nick’s on Friday, Santa Tell Me on Saturday and ‘Tis the Season to Be Irish on Sunday.

Those without basic cable can still watch new Hallmark Christmas movies the same day they premiere with either Philo or Fubo. Both offer free trials for new subscribers, however, Philo is the cheaper option at $28 a month after its 7-day free trial.

Philo is also the only option that also offers the Lifetime channel for those who want to watch Lifetime’s new Holiday movies this year as well.

Those who do have regular cable can also watch these new movies the day after they premiere using the Lifetime app.

Synopsis: When students all flee an elite university in Vermont for winter break, the locals and faculty hunker down for their favorite time of year – the annual Christmas Bar Trivia Tournament!

But when her colleague drops out of the tournament to do a month-long lecture tour in Asia, Celeste’s team must adopt Max (Daugherty), the football team’s new offensive coordinator. To Celeste, Max seems like nothing more than a grown-up class clown – though he brings an undeniable knowledge of sports trivia (a category their team has always fallen short in).
