It's *Christmas in July* in June on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! Hallmark is known for starting holidays and celebrations early. So... get out your favorite Christmas mug, fill it up with shaved ice and red fruit punch, then cool off this Summer with a chilly, snowy Christmas flick!
Technically, Christmas movies start airing Friday night (TONIGHT!!!), June 23rd, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, but the official *Merry Movie Week* day of movies begins Saturday, June 24th!
You can see all sorts of Christmas movies during *Merry Movie Week,* such as A Christmas to Remember, Unlocking Christmas, Five Star Christmas, five Time to Come Home for Christmas movies, The Gift of Peace, A Veteran's Christmas, Northpole: Open for Christmas, and more!
Be sure to visit the Christmas TV Schedule to see all the family-friendly Christmas movies airing during *Merry Movie Week* and set your DVR so you don't miss any of your favorites.
You'll also find in the Christmas Schedule, Christmas movies coming up during *Christmas in July* on Great American Family, the Hallmark Channel and TCM! More Christmas movies will be added to the guide as the networks release their schedules.
Programming Notes for the Weekend:
*Great American Family's Friday night Christmas movie is "Christmas at the Drive-In," starring Danica McKellar!
*The Hallmark Channel has a special *You Gotta Have Heart Rom-Com-a-Thon* movie marathon all-day Saturday with stars from When Calls the Heart. Movies included are My One & Only, Big Sky River, The Sweetest Heart, It Was Always You, and Feeling Butterflies.
*The only new movie premiere this weekend is Hallmark Channel's "Make Me a Match." I know many Hearties and Sleuthers are happy to see the return of actress Eva Bourne (from When Calls the Heart and Garage Sale Mysteries). However, I do want to caution the basis of this story is focused on fortune-telling. Eva's character, Vivi, enlists the help of an Indian Matchmaker, Raina, who gives her a palm reading. Unfortunately, while I'd love to see Eva again, due to this storyline, this movie is a skip for me. (the Bible on fortune telling)
*In addition to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' Christmas movies airing this weekend, the Vice Channel will have two airings of the silly Christmas comedy Elf at 7pm/6c. and 9pm/8c. on Sunday, June 25th, which marks 6 Months 'til Christmas!!! (Please note: I am not familiar with this channel; therefore, I don't know the variety of commercials that may be shown.)
*QVC will also Countdown to Christmas on Sunday, June 25th, with a day-long airing of Christmas in July-themed programming.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm looking forward to catching some of my Christmas movie favorites this weekend on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
And for those of you who might be looking for the Christmas game this month to mark the 25th as we Countdown to Christmas, be sure to look for something fun next week!
May your weekend be Merry & Bright!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:
“But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”
—Lamentations 3:21-23
