Here's everything you need to know about how you can watch the Hallmark Channel in the UK.

Is there anything better than a cheesy rom-com that takes place at Christmas? We don't think so! We loved Hallmark's Christmas movie schedule of 2022 and we know that 2023 is going to be filled with cracking new TV shows and movies, all for our viewing pleasure! With films such as Noel Next Door, We Wish You a Married Christmas, We Need a Little Christmas, and The Royal Nanny, what more could you ask for?

But what if you're based in the UK and can't access the Hallmark Channel? Not to worry! We have found a way for UK viewers to access these heavenly wholesome movies, and it's actually pretty painless!

Fans can either add the Hallmark TV Channel to their Amazon Prime account for the additional price of £4.49 per month, or they can download a VPN which can be used to watch any channel or TV show that's unavailable in the UK because of geo-restrictions.
