Theholiday seasonis here, which means it's time to grab a sweet treat, get cozy on the couch and turn on the latest Hallmark Christmas movie.
Hallmark moviesare, for many, the perfect light viewing to match the feeling of the holiday season. Every year, Hallmark releases a new lineup of Christmas and other holiday-themed films as part of its"Countdown to Christmas."

There are two dozen new holiday films available to watch on Hallmark this year. Here's a look at all of them, and where you should start.
