If it’s summer, that means it’s time for ... Christmas movies? Yes, it is, if you’re the Hallmark Channel, which has in recent years added a “Christmas in July” event to its schedule, for those who just can’t wait for Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” lineup.

(No cable? You can stream the Hallmark Channel on Philo, which offers a free trial; on Fubo, which also offers a free trial; and on Peacock.)

The 2024 “Christmas in July” schedule includes some new movies, along with a fan favorites marathon, which features some not-so-oldies, and kind-of-goodies (depending on your level of affection for Hallmark movies) with familiar faces such as Lacey Chabert, Kristoffer Polaha, Luke Macfarlane, Bethany Joy Lenz, and more.

The fan favorites marathon kicks off on Friday, June 28, with “An Unexpected Christmas” at 8 p.m., and “Haul Out the Holly,” at 10 p.m. It continues all month, until Wednesday, July 31.

Tucked inside the marathon of past holiday sugarplums are some Hallmark Channel premieres, in which actors will run around in sweaters and scarves, and pretend it’s winter.

That lineup includes “Falling Like Snowflakes,” starring Rebecca Dalton and Marcus Rosner (premieres at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 29); “Three Wise Men and a Baby (The Extended Cut),” starring Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker and Margaret Colin (8 p.m. Saturday, July 6); “Rescuing Christmas,” starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Sam Page (8 p.m. Saturday, July 13); “A Very Vermont Christmas,” starring Katie Leclerc and Ryan McPartlin (8 p.m. Saturday, July 20); and “An Ice Palace Romance,” starring Celeste Desjardins and Marcus Rosner (8 p.m. Saturday, July 27).
