How to watch Holiday Hotline

Holiday Hotline is a Hallmark Channel original movie. If you miss the premiere, you can catch it on demand the following day if you have cable. 

Hallmark Channel is included in many cable TV packages, but if you've cut the cord,  there are a few other options to help you watch. Hallmark Channel now has a partnership with Peacock so you can watch new movies on the streaming platform with a subscription.

You can also access Hallmark Channel via Philo, Sling TV, Frndly TV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and Fubo. While Hallmark Movies Now is the network's streaming arm, you cannot access new movies right away, so if you're looking to watch Countdown to Christmas 2023 movies, you'll need access to the channel.

Viewers in the UK can access Hallmark Channel as an add-on subscription channel on Prime Video.
