You won’t run out of Christmas movies to watch this year with UPTV boasting more than 500 hours of holiday programing including a new Gaither music special, Gaither Vocal Band: New Star Shining. Christmas programing begins November 1 and is available 24/7 throughout the holiday season. That’s a lot of Christmas, which includes 12 new Christmas movies. To help keep track of the new content, I created a checklist to keep track of it all.
If you love movies, be sure to grab the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas Checklist, the Lifetime Christmas Movies Checklist (coming soon) and the Great American Christmas Checklist.

UpTV Christmas Movies And Specials
Uptv’s “Most Uplifting Christmas Ever” includes all of the Christmas programing and some prize money. The UPtv sweepstakes winner will receive both $10,000 cash and an additional $10,000 donated by the network to the charity of their choice.
How To Watch UpTV Christmas Movies
We got rid of cable years ago, which means watching UpTV Christmas movies can be a challenge. But there are options for streaming UpTV Christmas movies. If you don’t have cable to watch your UpTV movies, you can watch via Frndly TV.
Frndly TV – Frndly TV is a streaming service that offers 40 family-friendly channels including UpTV, Hallmark Channels, Lifetime and 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 Hallmark movies all season long for $6.99 a month. Frndly TV works with Apple, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast, and you can cancel your subscription anytime. (This is the service I have used for the past two years and already have set up for this year.) Want to see if Frndly TV works for you, try the FREE 7-day trial.
UpTV Christmas Movie Activities
Last year, I made a 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. Yes, I know they say Hallmark movie, but I promise they work for any romantic Christmas movie 🙂
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 Christmas Movie BINGO is now available. You can also find it in my Etsy Shop if you don’t want to join the list.
