There are plenty of reasons why fall is (in my opinion at least) the best season. We’ve got football, we’ve got pumpkin spice, and there’s the promise of cooler temperatures ahead. But let’s be real, the best thing about this time of year is Hallmark’s Fall Into Love hitting the 2026 TV schedule (not to mention the Countdown to Christmas announcement). Below I’ll fill you in on all of the fall premieres hitting the Hallmark schedule. AND THEN ...
The 2026 Hallmark Countdown to Christmas schedule is here! More than 30 new 2026 Christmas movies will make their premiere from October to December, and we've got all of those dates below, too, so you can start marking your calendars.
All premieres are on the Hallmark Channel, unless otherwise noted.
Fall Into Love Schedule
Much About Love - Saturday, August 29, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Ashley Williams and Niall Matter.
Hallmark fan favorite Ashley Williams is back, and things are getting Shakespearean. In Much About Love, TV director Bea returns to her theater roots for a festival and runs into Benny, an old star-crossed lover. They team up in hopes of saving the Shakespeare festival. Don’t miss this modern take on Much Ado About Nothing.
Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding - Saturday, September 5, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Tamera Mowry-Housley, Risteard Cooper and Marco Grazzini.
It’s all fun and games until the best man turns up dead. When Gethsemane is invited to play at a wedding in Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding, she and Eamon find themselves involved in a murder mystery. This one definitely sounds worthy of interrupting our fall love stories for.
Falling into Place - Saturday, September 12, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Alvina August and Nathan Witte.
Hallmark homecomings are often accompanied by a sense of dread or obligation, but in Falling into Place, Kaia seems excited about returning to her small hometown for the fall festival and her high school reunion. And who wouldn’t be when it means she gets to reconnect with her best friend James to complete their fall bucket list from when they were teens?
Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes the Stage - Saturday, September 19, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Steve Bacic, Lori Loughlin & Sarah Strange
As Lori Loughlin prepares to return to When Calls the Heart in its 14th season, she’s also resurrecting another old Hallmark title. Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes the Stage is the 17th movie in the series but the first since 2019’s Searched and Seized. Loughlin reprises the role of Jennifer Shannon, as a member of her true crime book club is murdered during a re-enactment of the Lizzie Borden case. Yikes!
Pumpkin Regatta Romance - Saturday, September 26, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Mishael Morgan and Corey Sevier.

A Knight to Remember - Saturday, October 3, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Julie Gonzalo and James Trevena.
While cleaning a statue of an English knight for an art exhibit, museum conservator Emily kisses the statue (as one does), which brings him to life. It certainly sounds like Emily's in for A Knight to Remember.
The Spirit of Halloween - Saturday, October 10, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Meghan Ory and Kevin McGarry.
This sounds like a fun option for a not-so-spooky season! Everly Stone is firmly anti-Halloween, at least until she is visited by three friendly spirits. With their help Everly will rediscover her true self and see what she's been missing all along.
