Hallmark Channel rolls out Christmas‑in‑July lineup and previews Lacey Chabert Disney World holiday movie

Hallmark Channel began its annual “Christmas in July” event on June 26, airing classic holiday films through July 31 and debuting four brand‑new Christmas movies. The programming also includes the second season of the Hallmark+ series “Christmas at Sea,” which streams from July 1 and follows a festive cruise to Cozumel, Mexico.

In parallel, Hallmark promoted the upcoming holiday‑themed movie “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True,” starring Lacey Chabert. The film was shot on location at Walt Disney World, and Chabert shared a video of herself taking the cast on her five favorite Disney World rides, highlighting the blend of classic and newer attractions.

Both initiatives underscore Hallmark’s strategy to extend its Christmas‑centric content into the summer months and to cross‑promote new original movies tied to popular vacation destinations.
