Christmas movies are coming.
Yes, it’s September. No, I will not be taking questions.
The 2026 Christmas movie schedules are officially rolling out, which means it’s time for this year’s running schedule and watchlist. This post will grow throughout the season as Hallmark, Great American Family, Lifetime, UPtv, and other holiday favorites release their lineups.
I’ll keep adding premieres as they’re announced, update dates if anything changes, and use this as my personal checklist once Christmas movie season officially takes over my television.
As I watch, ☐ becomes ☑ and I’ll add my rating.
