How To Watch Lifetime Christmas Movies
We got rid of cable years ago, which means watching Lifetime Christmas movies can be a challenge. But there are options for streaming Lifetime Christmas movies. If you don’t have cable to watch your Lifetime movies, you can watch via these streaming services.
Frndly TV – Frndly TV is a streaming service that offers 40 family-friendly channels including Hallmark and the Great American Family. With Frndly TV, you’ll be able to watch all the new releases as they air on cable, plus shows on-demand, so you can binge-watch some of your favorite Lifetime movies all season long for $6.99 a month.

Lifetime Christmas Movie Activities
This year, I made a fun BINGO game to go along with my Christmas movie-watching. If you watch Christmas Movies alone, you can make it a silly challenge to take a sip of hot cocoa each time you find a BINGO square or take a bite of a Christmas cookie.
If you host a Christmas movie-watching party, you can pass out BINGO sheets to your guests and see who gets BINGO first. (Don’t worry, it won’t take long!)
The Hallmark Christmas Movie BINGO is now available. You can also find it in my Etsy Shop if you don’t want to join the list.

Hey Jen
Just wanted you to know I have thoroughly enjoyed reading everything you have sent and I really appreciate the Christmas movie checklists. I am a widower and my kids laugh at the way I sit and watch these Christmas movies but this is something my late wife got me started doing years ago and we used to watch them together. Thank you so much for making this an easier process to keep up with the new movies and decide which I will watch, which is pretty close to all. Thank you again and I wish to you and your family a wonderful Christmas Season.
Can’t wait.
