One of the biggest annual Hallmark Channel events each year is the network’s Christmas in July extravaganza, and this year boasts an incredible lineup of never-before-seen content you won’t want to miss.

The network announced in an April 2025 press release that Hallmark Channel fans and viewers could expect a robust slate of new content hitting their screens throughout the remainder of 2025-26 including new original movies and the reintroduction of television series.

This year, Christmas in July not only includes new original films, but also includes a limited series with some of the network’s fan-favorite stars and a reality special set aboard a cruise ship.

Below you can find the full lineup for this year’s Christmas in July event.
