The Hallmark channel has confirmed that they will once again be celebrating Christmas in July! Based on their press release (included below) both Hallmark and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will be decked out for the summertime holiday celebration!

This year, instead of scheduling their holiday programming to run simultaneously, we will have 17 days of Christmas movies to watch! Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will start the festivities on Friday July 1 and run through July 10. Then the Hallmark channel will start their "Christmas Keepsake" on July 8 and run through July 17. And, just like they did last year, Hallmark will be premiering a brand new movie for this year - "A Perfect Christmas" - currently scheduled for Saturday July 16.

All the details we know so far are in Hallmark's press release...

"Crown Media Family Networks -- the #1 viewing destinations for holiday - unveils its treasured annual programming events, Christmas Keepsake on Hallmark Channel and Gold Crown Christmas on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

Hallmark Channel's Christmas Keepsake will offer favorite holiday movies airing Friday, July 8 to Sunday, July 17, highlighted by the world premiere of the all-new original "A Perfect Christmas" on Saturday, July 16 at 9pm ET/PT starring Susie Abromeit, Dillon Casey and Erin Gray.

"A Perfect Christmas" follows a newlywed couple celebrating their first Christmas together. They invite their families to join them for the holidays, but when Steve (Casey) is laid off just before Christmas and Cynthia (Abromeit) discovers she's pregnant, they both keep their news secret in hopes that the celebration runs smoothly.

Christmas Keepsake will also feature a 10-day lineup of Hallmark Channel favorites including "Christmas Under Wraps" and "Christmas Detour" starring Candace Cameron Bure, "Crown For Christmas" starring Danica McKellar, "A Christmas Melody" starring Mariah Carey and Lacey Chabert and "Northpole: Open for Christmas" starring Lori Loughlin, Dermot Mulroney and Bailee Madison.

Gold Crown Christmas on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries airs Friday, July 1 - Sunday, July 10 and will roll out the most popular original movies that have aired on the network in recent years, including "Christmas Note," "A Christmas Wish," "Magic Stocking," "Debbie Macomber's Dashing Through The Snow," "Christmas Secret" and more. On July 4, the event will present a marathon of Hallmark Hall of Fame titles including "Christmas In Conway" at 7pm ET/PT and "Christmas With Holly" at 9pm ET/PT."
