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. 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.
Lifetime Christmas Movie Activities
I also 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 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.
