As you indulge in leftover Halloween treats, the Hallmark Channel is already in full holiday mode. The beloved network launched its annual Countdown to Christmas in mid-October, rolling out a festive lineup of fresh movies and series, including the second season of the competitive show Finding Mr. Christmas.
November promises even more yuletide cheer, with 15 brand-new holiday movie debuts. For those who live and breathe Christmas spirit, catching every premiere might be tempting. However, if your calendar is too packed for that much holiday indulgence, fear not. Showbiz Cheat Sheet has curated a list of five must-see Hallmark Christmas movies premiering in November 2025.
‘A Newport Christmas’
Time-traveling love stories are a cherished Hallmark tradition, and this season brings A Newport Christmas, featuring Ginna Claire Mason and Wes Brown.
In this enchanting tale, Mason portrays Ella, a lively socialite from Newport in 1905, who has a philanthropic heart. Her world is turned upside down when she discovers her father’s plan for her to get engaged to a stranger at the upcoming Christmas Eve ball. Seeking solace, she takes a sail and wishes for a different fate, only to find Nick (played by Brown), a sailor and historian, on her boat. Initially mistaking him for a stowaway, she soon realizes he claims ownership of the vessel. To her astonishment, Ella has been swept forward in time to 2025. As she navigates this new era, Ella glimpses her future in 1905, making her hesitant to return. Her bond with Nick grows stronger, but delaying her return risks altering her legacy and reshaping Newport’s history.
Tune in to A Newport Christmas on Sunday, November 2, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

‘Three Wisest Men’

Three Wise Men and a Baby topped our list of favorite Hallmark Christmas movies in 2022. Now, the Keller brothers are back for another hopefully hilarious sequel (after last year’s Three Wiser Men and a Boy).
Three Wisest Men sees the Brenner brothers navigating more challenges around the holiday. Luke (Andrew Walker) is about to become the father of twins, Taylor (Tyler Hynes) is considering a job opportunity out of state, and Stephan (Paul Campbell) is planning a wedding. Then, they learn that their mom (Margaret Colin) has put their childhood home up for sale. Facing their final Christmas in the house, the brothers are determined to make it a memorable one.
Three Wisest Men airs Saturday, November 15 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
‘Holiday Touchdown: A Buffalo Bills Love Story’
Hallmark is following up last year’s Kansas City Chiefs-themed football rom-com with another NFL partnership. This time, the focus is on the Buffalo Bills, with cameos from Bills coach Sean McDermott, Ray Davis, Damar Hamlin, Dion Dawkins, Dawson Knox, Reid Ferguson, DeWayne Carter, Joshua Palmer; Jim Kelly, Steve Tasker, Thurman Thomas, Scott Norwood, Andre Reed; Chris Brown, and Luke Russert.
Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story follows Morgan Quinn (Holland Roden), a pediatric doctor and Gabe DeLuca (Matthew Daddario), longtime neighbors whose families are united by their love of the Bills. When Morgan sets out to uncover the truth about a Christmas mystery involving her uncle, Gabe – who has long had a crush on Morgan – agrees to help. When Morgan’s plans to surprise her uncle hit a snag, Gabe uses his position as the Bills’ VP of Stadium Development to pull off the moment of a lifetime for Morgan and both their families that will make this a truly unforgettable Christmas.

‘We Met In December’
Can you say meet-cute? A missed connection during an unexpected layover kicks off an epic search for love in We Met In December, which stars Autumn Reeser and Niall Matter.
Annie Lane (Reeser) and Dave Weeks (Matter) meet as strangers when both end up staying at a beautiful hotel all decorated for the holidays. It’s love at first sight for the pair, who share the perfect kiss at the end of a magic night. But they fail to exchange numbers and then miss each other the next morning. Both fly back to Chicago with no way to track the other one down. Their only clues are the details each shared about their holiday plans. Using that information, they embark on separate quests to find one another.
We Met In December airs Thursday, November 27 at 8 p.m ET/PT.
‘A Grand Ole Opry Christmas’
Country music fans won’t want to miss Hallmark’s first collaboration with the Grand Ole Opry, A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, which will feature cameos from Bill Anderson, Brad Paisley, Dailey & Vincent, Drew Baldridge, Jamey Johnson, Maggie Baugh, Megan Moroney, Mickey Guyton, Pam Tillis, Rhett Akins, Riders in the Sky, Suzy Bogguss, Tigirlily Gold, and T Graham Brown. The movie also features a new music by Paisley.
A Grand Ole Opry Christmas stars Nikki DeLoach as Gentry Wade, the daughter of late country music icon Jett Wade. Gentry gave up her songwriting dreams after her dad’s tragic death, and when the Opry invites her to participate in their centennial celebration at Christmas, she’s reluctant to return. But when she pays a visit to the venerable venue, she’s transported back in time to 1995, along with her dad’s lifelong friend Mac (Kristoffer Polaha) a country music talent manager.
Thanks to some Christmas magic, Gentry gets to spend precious time with her father, as well the inspiration she needs to finish a song she began decades earlier as a teen. She also gets surprising answers to questions about her father that have followed her for the last three decades.
A Grand Old Opry Christmas airs Saturday, November 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
All movies also stream on Hallmark+.
