From When Calls the Heart to Cedar Cove to dozens of sappy {and somewhat corny} movies, Hallmark's got your back when it comes to clean, family-friendly, feel-good TV.

In fact, anytime I visit my parents for the holidays, we settle in with cozy throws, frosted sugar cookies, hot cocoa, and a Hallmark movie or two. It's my favorite way to spend a December evening—even if the magical kiss is totally staged and my mom and I can't stop giggling about the eye roll on both our faces!

But this event only happens a few days out of the entire year, because my parents have cable…and we do not. Which means, the channel I've come to rely on to usher in the holiday spirit isn't available to me 24/7!

Well, I finally solved that problem.

Thanks to modern technology, there is a simple way {five, actually!} to access The Hallmark Channel online, without paying for an over-priced monthly cable bill. No more missing those holiday movies!

Don't miss the Master Your Money Super Bundle (Available for a Limited Time!)

1. Hallmark Movies Now

Hallmark Movies Now {originally known as Feeln} is a movie streaming service similar to Netflix. A subscription costs you just $5.99 per month, or you can pay for it annually, dropping the price down to $4.99 per month.

You won't be able to access this year's live Christmas movies {boo!}, but HMN includes a Hallmark Hall of Fame section with over 100 of their best flicks and they are adding new titles all the time. Everything is commercial-free too!

2. Sling TV

Accessing The Hallmark Channel through Sling will cost a little more {but still much less than cable}. First you'll need to subscribe to one of their base packages:

• Sling Orange for $20 per month {30 channels}
• Sling Blue for $25 per month {45 channels}
• OR, Orange + Blue for $40 per month {50+ channels}

Then add the Lifestyle Extra package to your base subscription, which includes the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries plus eleven other channels for an additional $5 per month.

You'll have full access to live television—which means this year's Christmas lineup—plus on demand movies!

3. Amazon

Did you know your Amazon Prime membership allows you to stream movies in addition to these 11 hidden perks? As an Amazon Prime member you already have access to over 20 Hallmark Christmas movies including True Love at Christmas, Falling for Christmas, Christmas Angel, and many more.

Sign up for a FREE 30-day trial of Amazon Prime

4. Netflix

If you've already ditched cable TV, chances are you already have a Netflix account!

Netflix allows streaming of older TV shows and movies including some beloved Hallmark Channel classics. You'll also find other romantic Christmas favorites such as Love Actually and While You Were Sleeping. Subscription prices start as low as $7.99 per month.

Sign up for a FREE one month trial of Netflix. 

5. Fubo TV

The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are included in the base package streaming on Fubo TV, which offers over 65 channels {many of these are sports channels} for $19.99 for the first 2 months.

The price increases to $34.99 after the first 2 months, so if you're just accessing it for Hallmark, I'd go with one of the more cost-effective options from above! However, if you have a sports fan in the house, Fubo could be the best of both worlds.

Sign up for a 7 day FREE trial of Fubo TV.

DON'T FORGET: You'll need a streaming device {like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV} to access each of these streaming services!

Hallmark Christmas movies for 2018

Now that you know you won't have to miss out on the Hallmark Christmas movies this year (YAY!), you'll definitely want to check out their Holiday Programming Guides.

Have your sugar cookies and hot cocoa ready, because Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas starts the end of October and runs through New Year's Eve, with so many never-before-seen movies!

If you want to view any of these new movies, Sling TV is your best shot at staying up to date. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy last year's flicks for cheaper than ever!
