Hallmark Channel holiday countdown
Everyone knows how easy it is to find out how many shopping days there are until Christmas, but what about the other holidays? How many days do you have to plan the ultimate Fourth of July BBQ? Are you running behind on creating an award-winning Halloween costume? Is it time to get your order in for Valentine’s Day flowers? Hallmark Channel, the premier television destination for family entertainment, announces the launch of “Hallmark Channel Holiday Countdown,” a year-round programming initiative which reminds us that there’s always a reason to celebrate.
The ‘Holiday Countdowns’ will be focused on major holidays, including New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, July Fourth, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. In addition to Hallmark Channel Original Movie premieres, holiday-themed programming and special presentations, the holidays will be represented with themed on-air promos and wrap-arounds, as well as with games, trivia and other interactive surprises on www.HallmarkChannel.com and www.CelebrityGoodLife.com, the network’s new lifestyle website devoted to positive and uplifting celebrity news.
“Countdown to Halloween,” gets things started as the network is taken over by spook-tacular movies featuring goblins and ghoulies of all shapes and sizes every night of Halloween week, October 26-30 at 9p.m. ET/PT, 8C, as well as a full day of Halloween treats on Saturday, October 31. The Halloween day event will be capped off by a special double-double feature: back-to-back (to-back-to-back) presentations of Catherine Bell’s “The Good Witch” (3p.m. ET/PT, 2C and 7p.m. ET/PT, 6 C) and the “Good Witch’s Garden” (5p.m. ET/PT, 4C and 9p.m. ET/PT, 8C). “Good Witch” fans can’t get enough of these highly rated original movies, and will be thrilled to hear that a third installment is on the horizon
But the treats don’t stop there: Hallmark Channel will present the cable television premiere of “Halloween on Ice,” Friday, October 30 (8p.m. ET/PT, 7C). A thrilling spectacle, combining Halloween haunts with some of the world’s most accomplished and decorated skaters, the special features musical legend Chip Davis with his band, Mannheim Steamroller. World-class skaters participating with exhilarating performances include Olympic medalists Nancy Kerrigan, Todd Elderedge and Elvis Stojko, eight-time British champion Steven Cousins, and three-time Israeli National Champion Tamar Katz. The event is one of several Disson Skating specials that will be televised throughout the year on the network.
