Hallmark Channel Announces Four New Christmas Movies for July 2026

Hallmark Channel is doubling down on its Christmas in July programming block this year, delivering a quartet of fresh original movies to satisfy fans' mid-summer holiday cravings.

The network's slate includes four new films set to premiere on consecutive Saturday evenings in July, alongside the arrival of Christmas at Sea's second season on the Hallmark+ streaming platform beginning July 1.

Christmas Under Construction kicks off the lineup on July 4 at 8 pm ET/PT, featuring Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing. The film follows Chelsea and Jake, hosts of the reality show Renovation Romance, who are tasked with renovating a New Hampshire cabin for a live Christmas special alongside a new couple, Cooper and Janice. As they work on the project, Chelsea confronts uncomfortable truths about her relationship with Jake and must determine whether their bond can survive or if they need to move forward separately.

A week later on July 11, O Little Christmas Market arrives at the same time slot. Katherine Barrell stars as Olivia, a miniature artist devoted to preserving her town's Christmas market—a legacy started by her late father. When a developer threatens to demolish the beloved tradition, Olivia's chance encounter with architect Grayson, played by Stephen Huszar, complicates matters. She soon discovers that his firm is orchestrating the buyout, setting them at odds even as their connection deepens. The pair must navigate conflicting interests while working to save the market and build their romance.

On July 18, Snowbound for the Holidays takes center stage with Vanessa Lengies as Cassidy Evergreen, an ambitious manager at a boutique hotel company sent to assess the struggling Linden Lodge. There she meets Trey Sanderson, portrayed by Marcus Rosner, the lodge's co-owner fighting to keep it afloat and maintain its cherished holiday traditions. As Cassidy participates in seasonal festivities and grows closer to Trey and his daughter Lilly, she faces a difficult choice between career advancement and the community that has captured her heart.

Rounding out the month on July 25, Love Under the Mistletoe brings together Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman. Lilley plays Grace, an interior designer running a business in the town of Ivy Glen, while Bateman portrays Ryan, a New York-based financial advisor returning home to sell his grandmother's historic St. Nicholas House. When the mayor recruits both of them to revive a local charity fundraiser, their work together rekindles feelings from their high school days, raising the question of whether a second chance at romance awaits them.
