Hallmark fans love a time travel romance! Movies like A Timeless Christmas, A Biltmore Christmas, Rip In Time, or the series The Way Home are just some of the beloved time travel content the feel-good network has released in the last four years. Now, they have something special for time travel fans called Providence Falls. This is a new time travel limited series that just started production.

Here are the early details of this epic new series.

Hallmark has started production on a new series called Providence Falls. According to Creative BC, this is a limited three-episode series produced by Reckless Pictures. They began filming on January 14 and will complete production on March 24. Moreover, this trio of movies will have two directors. Firstly, Lucie Guest, who directed The Santa Class, and starred in Holidazed is the first director.

Everyone’s getting into the holiday movie game now, bringing Hallmark competition for must-watch programming over the fall and winter months. But is Hallmark still the reigning champion, or have Lifetime or Netflix come out on top for 2024? Hallmark once again had the numbers, with nearly 50 films debuting across Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, and Hallmark+. That included a new Debbie Macomber film, Joyful Mrs. Miracle, the sequel Three Wiser Men and a Boy, a When Calls the Heart reunion in Santa Tell Me, football in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, and the meta Sugarplummed. Plus network favorites teamed up for the first time in movies such as Jingle Bell Run, The Christmas Quest, and The Santa Class. Over on Lifetime, real-life spouses starred in The Holiday Junkie, Sarah Drew wrote and executive produced A Carpenter Christmas Romance, and Christmas in the Spotlight took some inspiration from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship.

Hallmark are gifting fans an early Christmas movie. They are releasing all of their 2024 Countdown To Christmas and Miracles Of Christmas movies to the rebranded Hallmark+ streaming channel. This is a reversal of the network’s original decision to wait 6-9 months before releasing new movies.

However, that is not the only change. In addition, they made a major change when they stream 2025 linear movies on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery. Here are all the details.

On Thursday, Variety reported that Hallmark+, the network’s streaming channel is making “some major changes.” Originally, Hallmark+ was going to stream different content from the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery. Now, the network is making all of the holiday movies available on the streamer.

Big changes are coming to Hallmark+ in 2025. After just a few months since launching, the platform is making some adjustments to its strategy. Initially, Hallmark+ was planned to show separate content from the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery Channel, but that’s all about to change.

Starting in 2025, all new Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery original movies will be available to stream on Hallmark+ the day after they air on TV, as Variety reports.

To prepare for this shift, Hallmark added a dozen new holiday movies on December 17, and another 24 are scheduled for December 20. This gives Hallmark+ members access to over 40 holiday movies, including all the 2024 holiday content from Hallmark’s linear networks.

Right now, Hallmark has a deal with Peacock, which means movies from the ‘Countdown to Christmas’ event are available for streaming three days after airing. That’s why a movie like Trading Up Christmas (which airs December...

Hallmark+ is making some major changes, three months after its launch. The streaming platform was originally set to stream separate content from the Hallmark Channel/Hallmark Mystery debuts, but that will change heading into the new year.

Effective in 2025, all new Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery original movie premieres will be streaming the next day on Hallmark+. A dozen were added on Dec. 17, with 24 more being added on Dec. 20.

Hallmark+ members will have access to over 40 Hallmark original holiday movies, including all 2024 holiday content from the linear networks. Hallmark currently has a deal with Peacock, in which original “Countdown to Christmas” movies are available to stream for three days after they air. (This is likely why “Trading Up Christmas” which airs Dec. 19 and is not hitting the app quite yet.)

In July, Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP of programming at Hallmark Media, told Variety that “Countdown to Christmas” would remain a...
