How to watch Hallmark Channel this Count Down to Christmas holiday season from anywhere

Hallmark Channel Christmas movie.

Watch Hallmark Channel online

Viewers in the US can watch Hallmark Channel through OTT streaming services Sling TV and Fubo, while movies are available on-demand on Hallmark Movies Now. The Hallmark TV addon to Prime Video will sort viewers in the UK out, while Canadians will be best-served by the StackTV addon. In India, all things Hallmark are available to watch via Tata Play Binge. Currently abroad? Use a VPN to connect to your preferred streaming service from anywhere.


If there's one thing most Christmas lovers can agree on about mainstream holiday season programming, it's that there isn't nearly enough of it. Enter the Hallmark Channel, the only network capable of conjuring and maintaining that warm, fuzzy feeling through the entire festive period.

You might not be surprised to find out that Hallmark's 2023 Countdown to Christmas – a stream of 42 brand new holiday releases, premiering on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings – started more than two months before the big day. A tad early for some, but now that we're into December, let the all-you-can-eat cheese buffet commence!

From classic fish-out-of-water tales (Miracle in Bethlehem, PA), to Hanukkah party timeloops (Round and Round) and wholesome self-improvement capers (Sealed With a List), via a parade of cynical corporate-types who are consistently made to see the errors of their ways by myriad unlikely chains of events, nobody does Christmas like the Hallmark Channel. 

Wherever you plan to spend the holidays, read on and we'll show you the best and cheapest ways to watch Hallmark Channel this festive season.

How to watch Hallmark Channel from outside your country

We've set out how you can watch Hallmark Channel in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away travelling for pleasure or for work, you probably won't be able to tune in like you normally would at home. This is the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to specific parts of the world.

You can get around these digital borders by using one of the best VPNs, which can also offer robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping. They're really easy to use too.

Use a VPN to watch Hallmark Channel from anywhere:

How to use a VPN to watch Hallmark Channel

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location, eg: 'US' for Sling.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home – Sling for Americans abroad.

Can you watch Hallmark Channel in Australia?

Unfortunately, there's no dedicated repository for Hallmark programming in Australia. That means you can't really embark on a Hallmark binge unless you already subscribe to an overseas streaming service like Hallmark Movies Now.

While geo-blocking will prevent you from accessing your stream as you would at home, getting a VPN service as outlined above will allow you to change your online location, allowing you to watch your preferred coverage without a hitch.

Can you watch Hallmark Channel in New Zealand?

Similarly, Hallmark programming doesn't have a single, convenient home in New Zealand. So unless you already subscribe to an overseas streaming service that's jam-packed with all things Hallmark, such as Tata Play Binge, you'll just have to keep scouring the listings.
