Tis The Season For Love is the first movie in a series of 17 that will premiere during the Christmas season on the Hallmark Channel. According to the channel’s website, they are starting a new tradition of offering Christmas movies all day and all night beginning on November 1. From then, a new Christmas movie will debut every Saturday and Sunday as part of their “heart of Christmas” movie lineup.
But, with Halloween taking place the same weekend, many dedicated Hallmark viewers think it’s way too early to begin showing Christmas movies all day. For many, the Christmas season shouldn’t traditionally begin until after Thanksgiving. Though always committed to watching the Hallmark Channel, a few movie watchers have taken to Hallmark’s Facebook page to express their programming concerns. Listen in.
“Hallmark I love Christmas movies, but don’t you think non stop for two months is a little much???”
“Why show Christmas movies for 2 months straight for 24hrs???”
“Movies are awesome!!! And i love that you guys have new ones every year…..but seriously starting them on Halloween?! Come on!!! They should be started after Thanksgiving!! Anything earlier is absolutely ridiculous!!!!”
In the upcoming weeks, Hallmark will present several other Christmas movies to set off their countdown to Christmas, including Ice Sculpture Christmas , Charming Christmas , and I’m Not Ready for Christmas . As for this Sunday, if you like the idea of a nonstop Christmas movie marathon, don’t let Hallmark down. Be sure to tune in at 8/7 central to enjoy their new holiday lineup. Here is Hallmark Channel’s official tease for Tis The Season For Love .
Hallmark’s official tease for Tis The Season For Love
“Beth Baker is an out-of-work actress stuck in New York City without her friends at Christmas time. She decides to return home to the quaint small town she escaped 10 years before and finds a place far different than the hamlet she left. She suddenly finds performing possibilities and even romance that kind of blow her away. Will the holidays prove to be as magical for Beth as they appear, or is it doomed to disappear as quickly as it arrived for a lady who is ready to take chances she could never have imagined a decade before. Then again, this is the kind of thing that seems to happen during the Christmas season all the time.”
Tis The Season For Love is produced by Front Street Pictures, a Canadian based production company that offers services in independent film and made-for-tv-movie production, according to their website.
