Understanding Hallmark Channel Original Movies
The Hallmark Channel features a variety of original films produced for both Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. These films are widely recognized as Hallmark Channel Original Movies and Hallmark Mysteries.
Since its inception in August 2001, Hallmark Channel has established a strong presence in family entertainment, with its sister channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, debuting in January 2004. In addition to standalone films, the channels host various original film series like Garage Sale Mystery and Jesse Stone, as well as several mystery-themed wheel series.
Hallmark Channel reached a significant viewership milestone with the 2014 premiere of Christmas Under Wraps starring Candace Cameron Bure, which attracted an audience of 5.8 million viewers. Notably, both channels experience a surge in ratings during the “Countdown to Christmas” event, with a plethora of festive films aired from late October through December.
These films are not only popular in the United States; they are also broadcast in Canada on the W Network and Citytv, thanks to distribution agreements with Hallmark’s parent company, Crown Media. Most of Hallmark’s films are filmed in Canada, allowing them to meet local content quotas. In the UK, viewers can catch Hallmark Original Movies on Movies 24, a sister channel.
