Hallmark’s October Lineup Has 10 New Movies—and Christmas Starts Before Halloween

Hallmark fans, get ready for a month jam-packed with premieres. As we head into autumn, the network rounds out their Fall into Love movies before starting on their Countdown to Christmas lineup. While it’s still in the triple digits in some parts of the nation, I don’t mind pretending it’s snowing outside and I’m warming up by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate (or maybe a cold glass of chocolate milk) while I watch the newest Christmas flicks on Hallmark!

Let’s see what’s in store for the month of October on Hallmark Channel.

There’s just one catch: Avery knows next to nothing about football or Chicago. Enter Darlene’s handsome grandson Matt (Buckley), a Chicago firefighter and die-hard Bears fan who, with a little gentle nudging from Darlene, agrees to show Avery what being part of Bears Nation is all about. As Avery follows Darlene’s remarkable story through cherished game-day traditions, festive Chicagoadventures and memories of a love story that began at a stadium, she starts to understand that football is about much more than what happens on the field. And as sparks fly between Avery and Matt, this Christmas may just convince a woman who’s always on the move that sometimes the greatest adventure is finding a place, and someone, that feels like home.
