Stream These Hallmark Christmas Movies for Free on Freevee, Roku Channel, and More
Love Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, but don’t love the cost of cable? If you’re looking for ways to tighten your budget in face of rising costs, one of the first items to go may well be your cable or streaming subscriptions. Fortunately, cutting the cord doesn’t have to mean giving up on your feel-good Christmas flicks.
You’ll either need a cable package or a Peacock subscription to watch all of Hallmark’s new Christmas movies for 2022. But if you don’t mind delving into the Hallmark archives, you’ll find a number of the network’s holiday movies on completely free streaming services such as Freevee, Tubi, Pluto TV, and the Roku Channel.
‘The Christmas House’
Jonathan Bennett and Robert Buckley star in 2020’s The Christmas House, Hallmark’s first holiday movie featuring a same-sex couple.

‘Christmas in Love’
A bakery employee and aspiring crafter named Ellie (Brooke D’Orsay) meets a big-city CEO named Nick (When Calls the Heart’s Daniel Lissing) who has plenty of ideas for how to modernize the bakery – and cut staff.

‘A Princess for Christmas’
Outlander fans will want to check out the 2011 movie A Princess for Christmas, which stars a baby-faced Sam Heughan as the titular prince. It’s about a young woman named Jules (Katie McGrath) caring for her orphaned niece and nephew after the tragic death of their parents. The children’s estranged grandfather (who just happens to be a duke) invites them to visit his home for the holidays, where Jules meets – and falls for – Prince Ashton. Sir Roger Moore plays the duke.

‘Enchanted Christmas’
Real-life Hallmark couple Alexa and Carlos PenaVega star in Enchanted Christmas. Alexa plays Laura, a widow and former dancer who’s now working as a project manager. She’s hired to renovate a dilapidated lodge, which turns out to be the same place where she and her former love and dance partner Ricardo (Carlos) performed each Christmas. Ricardo still performs at the lodge, and Laura ends up stepping back into his arms, and his heart.

‘It’s Christmas, Carol’
Did you know that Carrie Fisher starred in a Hallmark Christmas movie? It’s Christmas, Carol is a modern spin on A Christmas Carol. Emmanuelle Vaugier plays Carol, a ruthless publishing company CEO. Her staff – including the disgruntled Fred (Carson Kressley) – all wish she was more like the company’s late founder Eve (Fisher). After getting into a fight with her ex-boyfriend, Carol has an encounter with Eve’s ghost, who takes her on a journey through her past, present, and future.
