Christmas in July 2026: What’s Left to Watch and a First Look at Fall

We are right in the thick of Christmas in July 2026, and if you have been keeping up, you already know this is one of the biggest mid-summer holiday runs in years. The season runs June 26 through July 31, so right now you are about halfway through. The good news: some of the best parts are still ahead. Here is what is left to watch across Hallmark and Great American Family, plus a first look at the Christmas movies already lining up for this fall.

The Hallmark Movies Still to Come

Hallmark is premiering four brand-new movies on Saturday nights this Christmas in July, and there are still a few you have not seen yet. Christmas Under Construction kicked things off on July 4. Here is what is still on the calendar:

• O Little Christmas Market: Saturday, July 11 (Katherine Barrell and Stephen Huszar)
• Snowbound for the Holidays: Saturday, July 18 (Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner)
• Love Under the Mistletoe: Saturday, July 25 (Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman)

All three air at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel and stream the next day on Hallmark+. For cast, plots, and where to watch each one, check our Hallmark Christmas in July 2026 guide.

Don’t Forget Christmas at Sea and the Stars Live Tour

Two more things round out the Hallmark side of the season. Christmas at Sea Season 2 is streaming now on Hallmark+, following real superfans on the annual Hallmark Christmas Cruise (this year sailing to Cozumel). It is an easy, cozy watch for any night you want a little holiday feeling in the middle of summer.

And for the first time ever, Hallmark is taking the celebration on the road. Hallmark Stars Live: Christmas in July is a 10-city fan tour running July 22 through August 2, hosted by Nikki DeLoach. If a tour date lands near you, that is your chance to see these stars in person. Full schedule and ticket details are in our Hallmark Stars Live tour post.

What Great American Family Has On

Hallmark is not the only network celebrating. Great American Family runs its own mid-summer holiday programming, with marathons of fan favorites all month long. If you lean GAF, our Great American Family Christmas in July 2026 guide covers what is airing and when.

A First Look at Christmas 2026 This Fall

Once Christmas in July wraps on July 31, the countdown to the real thing begins, and both networks are already building their fall lineups.

Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas returns for its 17th year, with new movies rolling out from October through December across Hallmark Channel and Hallmark+. The full lineup usually lands in late summer, so expect the big reveal in the next month or two. One title is already confirmed: Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True.

Great American Family brings back Great American Christmas starting in October. Several titles are already known, including A Very Evergreen Christmas, One More Christmas starring Candace Cameron Bure, and An Accidental Arctic Christmas. We have previews of the early GAF titles ready for you, and you can find them linked from our GAF guide above.

How to Make the Most of the Rest of the Season

Here is the simple game plan for the back half of Christmas in July: catch the three remaining Hallmark premieres on Saturday nights, stream Christmas at Sea Season 2 whenever you want a cozy night in, and grab tickets to the Stars Live tour if it comes near you. Then keep an eye on the fall announcements, because Christmas 2026 is shaping up to be a big one on both networks.
