Christmas in July continues on Hallmark Channel with Christmas at Sea, an all-new reality series following the network's biggest stars and superfans as they set sail for holiday adventure during the 2024 holiday season.

The Christmas Cruise set sail from Miami to Nassau and featured holiday activities like "carol-oke," holiday trivia and themed competitions. Hallmark superfans were able to interact with their favorite Hallmark celebrities while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
