The Hallmark Channel kicks off its first ever Thanksgiving event with five original holiday movies in five nights.

Alicia Witt goes with holiday movies like marshmallows go with hot chocolate. In tomorrow night’s two-hour Hallmark Channel event, “I’m Not Ready for Christmas”, she plays Holly Nolan, a career-driven workaholic on the fast-track in the advertising world, but out of touch with the people that matter the most. “I’m Not Ready for Christmas” is a fun and funny look …

How one long-lost, but recently discovered, Mrs. Claus dress changes the lives of three women is the focus of the upcoming Hallmark Channel holiday movie Charming Christmas, which is set to debut on November 8.

Yes, the plot of October Kiss is a familiar one. This isn’t even the first Hallmark Channel movie to use it. But it is the best to …

WGN America’s Manhattan returns for a thrilling second season on Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central. The premiere – and the season really – weave two very different stories together – one at the start of the Trinity Testing and the second fifteen months before back at the base.

The first Signed Sealed Delivered two-hour movie debuted back in 2013, starring Ugly Betty alum Eric Mabius as well as Kristin Booth (Orphan Black), Crystal Lowe and Geoff Gustafson (both from Primeval: New World), as postal employees working in the dead letter office. Since that debut, Signed Sealed Delivered became a short-lived one-hour drama on the Hallmark Channel before reverting …

Change is hard for everyone… Especially for Ben Walker in the new Hallmark Channel made-for-TV movie Lead With Your Heart.
