Christmas is just around the corner, and with the weather cooling down, it's the perfect time for lounging and binge-watching holiday movies. For many, Christmastime isn't complete without watching a cozy movie marathon and while that generally includes some feel-good family Christmas movies, it's also Hallmark season.

Lucky for us, they've released 40 new Hallmark Christmas movies in 2023 to watch every week until Dec. 25 in addition to re-runs of favorites from past years.
