Summer is (effectively) over, which means it’s time to skip over fall and start getting into the Yuletide spirit!

A few weeks after Lifetime unveiled its Christmas slate, Hallmark is officially revealing the premiere dates for a record 40 films this holiday season for the 10th anniversary of its signature programming event, Countdown to Christmas, which kicks off Friday, Oct. 25 on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

Headlining this year’s crop of original movies are network favorites Candace Cameron Bure, Lacey Chabert, Rachael Leigh Cook, Jodie Sweetin, Erin Krakow, Tamera Mowry-Housley and Danica McKellar, as well as Kristin Chenoweth in the marquee movie, Hallmark Hall of Fame’s A Christmas Love Story, opposite Scott Wolf. Three films are still casting.

Behind-the-scenes sneak peeks of new holiday movies will air during the Sept. 7 premiere of Hallmark Channel’s Love, Romance & Chocolate, starring Chabert and Will Kemp.
