Hallmark Channel has again made some changes to their upcoming Countdown to Christmas programming and schedules. But - this is a good change - they have added three more new movies to the list! In addition to that, a few movies have had title changes. Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has also had a change, but it was only the title of one of their previously announced movies.

Rather than trying to keep up with all of these changes here, I have updated the New Christmas Movies page to reflect the new movie titles. That seemed like a much better idea just so that all of the latest information would be in one place.

But since there are 3 new movies, I thought I would give you the details on them right here. I don't know about the rest of you, but Candace Cameron Bure has not made a Hallmark Christmas movie that has not ended up on my favorites list. So, I've been waiting for this update hoping that we would not be disappointed this year. One of the three new movies will star Candace Cameron Bure. For those of you that follow our facebook page, this should not be a complete surprise because I posted about her movie here back on Sept 28th.

JOURNEY BACK TO CHRISTMAS
Premieres Friday, November 25th at 8/7c
Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Oliver Hudson and Tom Skerritt
Hannah (Cameron Bure), a WWII-era nurse, is transported in time to 2016 and meets Jake (Hudson), a man who helps her discover the bonds of family and that the true meaning of Christmas is timeless.

A DREAM OF CHRISTMAS
Premieres: Saturday, December 3rd at 8/7c
Starring: Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker
Penny (DeLoach), an ambitious but discontented young married woman, gets more than she bargained for when she is granted a wish to be single again. She awakens one morning to discover she has everything she thinks she wanted: Her dream home, a great car, and a dream job where she's the boss. But the tradeoff is not all wine and roses. Her husband Stuart (Walker) is gone - their marriage doesn't exist because in this world they never even met. Penny eventually adjusts to life in this new 'wish world'. In spite of her professional successes and romantic advances from a handsome, bachelor client of hers (Christopher Russell), Penny soon discovers the most important thing is missing in her life - her husband Stuart. She resolves to find and meet Stuart - for a second time - and get to know him all over again in the hope they'll fall in love and rekindle the romance that was lacking in the 'real world'.

BROADCASTING CHRISTMAS
Premieres: Sunday November 27th at 8/7c
Starring: Melissa Joan Hart, Dean Cain, Cynthia Gibb, Jackee Harry, and Richard Kline
Emily (Hart) is an ambitious television anchor, aimed at climbing the ranks. When the opportunity to co-host a talk show with the fabulous talk show diva Veronika (Harry) presents itself two weeks before Christmas, she thinks this is her big break. To her surprise, she discovers she has stiff competition with Charlie (Cain), the local TV anchor who is her near equal on another station. With such interest and support for both reporters, a contest is created: for the two weeks leading up to Christmas, who can cover the best and most meaningful Christmas stories on the local news? As they shoot their heartfelt Christmas stories, they realize the top prize is not as important as they once thought. They experience the true meaning of Christmas with the subjects in their news segments - and with each other.

If there are any other changes, you can be sure I will keep you updated...
