Where to stream Hallmark Christmas movies from 2022 online?
November 29, 2022 10:48 PM Subscribe
I'm trying to find somewhere I can subscribe online (without paying for 200+ channels I won't watch on actual cable) to watch the new Hallmark Christmas movies coming out this year. NOT the "library" or all the movies from 2021 and older, which appears to be what's on offer now.
Slightly longer explanation: my mother bought me a subscription to Frndly TV during the pandemic, which offered new Hallmark movies for 72 hours or so. I logged in this year and they had nothing but all the 2021 movies I already watched. Apparently Frndly can only offer you more Hallmark if you pay extra on top of the regular fee. Then I read that Hallmark Movies Now is where they are streaming the movies, for the same fee as the extra add-on for Frndly. Okay, fine, we canceled the Frndly and signed up for HMNow...which also apparently only offers all the old stuff and they said they will only offer new movies on actual cable. Bleah. Unsubscribe.
I'm finding articles online mentioning other places to subscribe, but I'm not sure if any of them are offering 2022 material or if it's just more 2021 and older, and would rather not sign up again before finding that out. It looks like Peacock may be offering new material, as I see the new movies being advertised on that, but after getting burnt the last two times, I figured I'd ask AskMe first. Can anyone verify if any streaming services are offering this year's movies without my having to have a cable login? Or is this a lost cause because it's the 2020's and life sucks?

Best answer: If it's worth more than a few bucks to you, Philo has the live Hallmark channels you can DVR and whatever on demand content you'd get with cable for $25 a month. I would expect there to be a longer availability window than on Peacock, but can't verify that since I don't currently subscribe. They do have a 7 day free trial, though, so if it turns out not to have what you want, you can cancel before they even charge your card.
You're buying way more than just Hallmark, but the price is still not ridiculous for a couple months a year.

Peacock had a .99/month offer, not sure if it's still available.

(I don't know the answer but wanted to say thanks for posting this -- I had a plan to watch a movie from the 27th this Friday and had no idea it would expire before then!!)

Response by poster: Peacock only has the movies up for a few days. Upon investigating Philo, they let me dig up all the movies and save them DVR-style for quite some time, apparently. I just went through and bookmarked everything new for 2022 so hopefully I can watch them at my leisure. So I'm going with Philo for now. Thank you!

Looking in the app, I can see that the movies from 11/26 and 11/27 are currently available, but the earlier ones from this year are no longer there.
