UPtv’s most uplifting Christmas ever begins November 5, 2026 and includes eight all-new movies featuring stars like Vivica A. Fox, Carson Kressley, Nazneen Contractor and Rob Mayes. UPtv new Christmas movies air on Thursday and Friday nights. In addition to the new Christmas movies, UPtv will also run The Rookie Marathon during Thanksgiving week. (I love that show!!!) 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.
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.
