One of the best parts of the holidays is curling up under a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate and a sappy Hallmark movie.

For some of the best heart-string-pulling seasonal flicks, we turn to Hallmark. To celebrate their countdown to Christmas, Hallmark asked its fans what their favourite holiday movies of all time are.

These are the Hallmark Christmas movies we’re putting on our list this year.
