Hallmark movies are like modern-day fairytales, where each story is dreamy and heartwarming, set against the backdrop of an idyllic setting and always eliciting positive vibes. The channel indeed has a reputation for offering the best surreal love tales and joyous festive movies which serve as an escape from your stressful and busy lives and enlighten your moods.

The Hallmark Channel launched on television in 2001 but has grown into the go-to spot for Christmas films. The channel found success with its 2009 "Countdown to Christmas" series and continues to draw viewers back each year for some cheesy romance flicks.
