List of Hallmark Channel Original Movies

This is a list of television films produced for the cable networks Hallmark Channel (HC) and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (HMM). Such films are currently called Hallmark Channel Original Movies and Hallmark Mysteries.

The Hallmark Channel was officially launched in August 2001,[1] with its sister channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (originally Hallmark Movie Channel) launched in January 2004.[2] In addition to stand-alone original films, both channels broadcast a number of original film series, including Garage Sale Mystery, Jesse Stone, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries and The Good Witch, as well having produced mystery-themed wheel series.

The Hallmark Channel achieved its highest-ever broadcast premiere ratings with the 2014 original movie Christmas Under Wraps, starring Candace Cameron Bure, which was watched by 5.8 million viewers.[3] Both networks receive their highest ratings during their "Countdown to Christmas" period, with a succession of festive original films being broadcast from late October to late December.[4]

A number of these films are also carried in Canada by the W Network and Citytv under content distribution agreements with Hallmark parent Crown Media; the vast majority of Hallmark Channel films are filmed in Canada and thus qualify for Canadian content quotas. In the United Kingdom, Hallmark Original Movies are shown on Movies 24, a sister channel.[5]
