Cozy mystery meets Hallmark Christmas in this new series. It kicks off on Friday, Oct. 17, with two new episodes airing every Friday through Dec. 15.
In the “quaint tourist town” of Fletcher’s Grove, Emily Lane owns an all-year Christmas shop. But don’t let this wholesome exterior fool you: Emily is secretly running around solving local murders. And for the show’s second season, she’s getting some help from a handsome detective.
2. A Royal Montana Christmas (Oct. 18)
Cowboys are really having their moment right now, from a plethora of new romance books to TV series like Ransom Canyon and Yellowstone. So, naturally, Hallmark has gotten in the game, too, with a cowboy-themed Christmas movie.
However, in this case, it’s a real-life princess who visits the Montana ranch and gets swept up by a hunky, horse-riding man. Will she return to her royal duties or trade it all in for a quiet life out west? We all know the answer, but it doesn’t make us want to watch any less.
3. A Christmas Angel Match (Oct. 19)
Christmas angels typically work on holiday matchmaking alone, but this year, the Christmas Connection Department tells Monica and Michael they must work together. What ensues is an opposites-attract love story that’ll tug at your heartstrings.
