You won’t run out of Christmas movies to watch this year with UPtv boasting more than over 50 days of Christmas programming and more than 100 titles in this year’s batch of holiday fun. The Christmastime lineup includes eight all-new movies featuring stars like Joey Lawrence and Vivica A. Fox. Christmas programing begins October 30 and 31 with a Christmas movie marathon and the the first new movie premieres on November 2. 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 TV Series
In addition the the eight new Christmas movies, UPtv is also debuting a new Christmas series The Christmas Checklist (season 1) with new episodes airing the following Saturdays at 7 pm ET.
My Hallmark Christmas Movies Watching Mug
Raise your hand if you drink hot cocoa with your movies! I know I am not the only one. This year, I am getting myself this special Christmas movie watching mug. I also think this mug would make the cutest gift for Christmas movie watching friends. Add a couple packets of hot cocoa, and some peppermints or chocolates all tied up with a bow. Perfect little gift!

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.

A Christmas Murder Mystery sounds interesting.🙂
