Hallmark Channel Original Premiere of “The Christmas Contest”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…and by that, I mean it is time for Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas! We start out with the Hallmark Channel Original Premiere of “The Christmas Contest”!

What better way to get yourself into the holiday spirit than by watching the new and returning Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel?!

I love that Hallmark Channel movies keep coming back year after year, so we can enjoy our favorites from years past and discover new movies, too!

Christmas is really such a special time of year, and it’s one many of us look forward to all year long. During this crazy time of year, I love snuggling up under a cozy blanket and enjoying a movie that gives me the warm fuzzies.

One BRAND NEW Hallmark Channel movie premiering this Sunday night is The Christmas Contest, and I’ll be watching! This is part of Hallmark Channel’s Merry Thanksgiving week.

Besides The Christmas Contest, there are SEVEN other premieres during the week of Thanksgiving, starting with The Nine Kittens of Christmas on Thanksgiving Day.

About The Christmas Contest:

In Hallmark’s The Christmas Contest, exes Lara and Ben compete in a Christmas contest to win money for the charity of their choosing. The city watches them battle and choose what is more important, victory or love.

Starring Candace Cameron Bure, John Brotherton, and Barbara Niven.

This is just one of 41 ALL NEW original movies premiering on Hallmark Channel and on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!
