Hallmark fans are in for a special, snowy treat this summer. The network's annual Christmas in July movie marathon will feature two all-new holiday flicks, A Royal Christmas Crush and The Christmas Reboot, premiering July 8 and July 15, respectively.
And before the Yuletide festivities begin, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will program a special Merry Movie Week from June 23-June 30, which will see the network air holiday films every night at 7 p.m. The week-long extravaganza leads up to the Christmas in July marathon, when fans can catch back-to-back Hallmark Christmas movies every day in July from 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
Now, onto our soon-to-be Hallmark holiday favorites. Here's what we know so far about A Royal Christmas Crush and The Christmas Reboot.
