The Week Kicks Off with Sun, Surf, and Sweet Romance
Before the leaves go full gold, Hallmark’s inviting us to soak up those last rays of summer with Groundswell and Love, Romance & Chocolate. Both films feature the always-likable Lacey Chabert, who brings her signature warmth to every scene.
In Groundswell, she ditches the city grind for Hawaiian surf, finding healing—and, wouldn’t you know it, unexpected love—after her career takes a nosedive. Meanwhile, Love, Romance & Chocolate whisks viewers off to Belgium, where a breakup leads to new beginnings and a dashingly sweet chocolatier.
These are stories about rediscovering joy and passion, which feels like the emotional reset we all need before fall really kicks in. Sometimes you just need a little escapism, right?
Midweek Magic: Moms, Friendships, and Fresh Starts
By midweek, the autumn vibes are in full swing with Field Day and Notes of Autumn. Field Day follows a group of moms—each pretty different—who band together to organize a school event.
Turns out, teamwork and new friendships can show up in the most unlikely places. Back-to-school season never looked so fun, and honestly, we could all use a reminder that laughter makes even the busiest days a little lighter.
Finding Joy in the Changing Seasons
Notes of Autumn brings a fresh twist. Two friends swap lives and end up discovering new passions and relationships along the way.
With golden leaves and cozy sweaters everywhere, this one’s about celebrating change—both in nature and in life. It’s the kind of film that makes you want to lean into the season, maybe even try something new, or just slow down for a second.
Thursday’s Double Dose of Love and Mystery
Thursday’s got The More Love Grows and The Heiress and the Handyman, showing off Hallmark’s talent for mixing heartfelt romance with little surprises. The More Love Grows stars Rachel Boston and Warren Christie, and love unexpectedly blooms—with a little help from an adorable dog.
It’s a gentle nudge that connection sometimes comes from the simplest things. Maybe we all need that reminder now and then.
From County Fairs to Curious Mysteries
Next up, The Heiress and the Handyman takes us to a county fair, where Jodie Sweetin (yep, from Full House) plays an heiress who loses her fortune and has to start over. She mistakes her neighbor for household staff and, well, gets tangled in a slow-burn romance that’s both funny and sweet.
The day wraps with Curious Caterer: Forbidden Fruit, starring Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker. Expect intrigue, a bit of delicious tension, and that chemistry that keeps you guessing till the very end.
Friday Brings a Hint of Holiday Cheer
Even though fall’s still going strong, Hallmark knows fans are already eyeing Christmas. Friday’s lineup teases a bit of that holiday spirit.
If I Only Had Christmas stars Candace Cameron Bure as a cheerful publicist teaming up with a grumpy VP to pull off a charity event. Their clashing personalities spark laughs and some genuinely sweet moments.
From Autumn Leaves to Holiday Lights
Our Holiday Story keeps the celebration going, blending the warmth of fall with the anticipation of holidays ahead. Even as the days get shorter, there’s always space for a little extra love and hope.
Whether you’re carving pumpkins or stringing up twinkle lights, these films are the perfect bridge between fall and winter magic. It’s kind of the best of both worlds.
Saturday’s Lineup: Football, Friendship, and Fresh Starts
Saturday takes a sporty turn with Fourth Down and Love and Love on the Sidelines. These football-themed romances are tailor-made for anyone who loves game-day stories with a side of heartfelt drama.
The real standout, though, is the premiere of Home Turf. Nikki DeLoach stars as a small college president whose life gets flipped upside down when freshman football players move in.
She’s navigating chaos, but finds unexpected support—and maybe more—from the school’s coach. Sometimes, life really does throw you a curveball, and it’s not always a bad thing.
Love and Laughter on the Sidelines
Saturday’s schedule mixes humor and heart, showing that love can show up in the most unpredictable places. Maybe it’s a coach learning to trust again or a career-driven woman finding her balance.
Add in the cozy backdrop of fall weekends and you’ve got a recipe for feel-good entertainment. Who says you can’t have it all?
Sunday’s Grand Finale: Classic Hallmark Romance
As the week winds down, Hallmark serves up a mix of fan favorites to close out the weekend. It Was Always You, with Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes, tells the story of a woman whose engagement plans get complicated when her fiancé’s charming brother walks back into her life.
The chemistry is pretty undeniable, and the message about following your heart is classic Hallmark. Sometimes, it’s just what you need to hear.
Cooking Up Love to End the Week
Finally, there’s Love on the Menu, a sweet film about a frozen food exec and a talented chef who find love while mixing business and pleasure.
It’s a satisfying way to wrap up a week of stories celebrating love—new beginnings, second chances, and the simple joy of finding someone who just gets you.
