Mistletoe Murders Blends Mystery and Holiday Magic This Christmas Season

Hallmark is adding a festive dash of whodunit to its Countdown to Christmas 2025 schedule with the all-new mystery series Mistletoe Murders. The show premieres Friday, October 17 at 8/7c on Hallmark, starring Sarah Drew (Christmas in Vienna, Grey’s Anatomy) and Peter Mooney (Burden of Truth) and will every Friday during the season.

This marks the first time Hallmark has launched a serialized holiday mystery drama, and fans are already buzzing about its cozy small-town setting, charming romance, and edge-of-your-seat intrigue.

Meet Emily Lane — The Woman With a Secret Past

In Mistletoe Murders, Sarah Drew shines as Emily Lane, the warm-hearted owner of a Christmas shop in the picturesque town of Fletcher’s Grove. But behind her festive smile lies a mysterious past. When a string of local murders shakes the community, Emily finds herself pulled back into a world she thought she left behind.

Using her sharp instincts and hidden skills, she secretly assists in solving the crimes that threaten her new life — all while trying to keep her secrets from Detective Sam Wilner, played by Peter Mooney.

As Emily and Sam grow closer, sparks fly — but so does suspicion. When Sam begins to uncover who Emily really is, their budding romance takes a suspenseful turn that promises to keep viewers glued to their screens week after week.
