Let’s set the scene: You’re in your coziest clothes, snuggled up somewhere comfy, and it’s finally time to relax after a looong day. Nothing sounds better than a heartwarming Hallmark movie or show to make you laugh, happy-cry or a little bit of both.

So you turn on the TV and flip to the Hallmark Channel, only to find that a movie you REALLY wanted to see is already halfway over. Which means you have to go to bed without having seen the whole thing.

This is not the dream.

And, with Hallmark+, it doesn’t have to be the reality! Hallmark’s streaming service allows you to watch all the feel-good series and movies you want, when you want.

But there’s so much more to love about a Hallmark+ subscription than that. Like a LOT more. So if you’re a Hallmark fan who’s been considering a subscription (or renewing your subscription) to Hallmark+, we’re here to help you make the best decision for you.

What is Hallmark+?  

Hallmark+ is a streaming service where you can watch all your favorite Hallmark movies and series, including exclusive series you can’t watch anywhere else. That means you can watch all the Hallmark Christmas movies or marathon-watch a favorite comfort series anytime you want.

So why should I sign up?  

You may be thinking: “The idea of subscribing to yet another streaming service while so many of them are continually raising rates, introducing and/or increasing ads, and policing password sharing makes me want to scream.”

And we think that is BEYOND FAIR. But if you’re a Hallmark fan, we can confidently say Hallmark+ is a service that will actually serve you—and Hallmark+ has arguably more bang for its buck than any other streaming service out there. Check it out:

Reason #1: You can stream all the Hallmark movies and series you want, when you want. That includes all-new Hallmark original movies and series along with your tried-and-true favorites.

Reason #2: You can watch it anywhere. Your phone, your tablet, your smart TV—Hallmark+ is downloadable on app stores and streaming players alike. Just make sure you check here for details about device compatibility.

Reason #3: It’s affordable. A subscription costs only $7.99 a month, or $79.99 a year. Compared to most streaming services, that’s super affordable. It’s basically trading one latte a month for access to your comfort content at all times. Plus, there are no confusing membership tiers that gatekeep you from an enjoyable viewer experience. And with all the benefits, your membership literally pays for itself (more on that later!).

Reason #4: You can try it before you buy it. Everyone gets a 7-day free trial, so you can make sure it’s the right fit for you before making any commitments.

Reason #5: There are no commercials. Hallelujah. 🙌

Reason #6: Sign-up is easy. You can sign up through the Hallmark+ app on any of your devices, though we recommend using a desktop or laptop. Step-by-step guidance can be found here.

Reason #7: Hallmark+ has so much amazing content in one place. All the same original movies and series as Hallmark Channel but, like I said, no commercials and watch when you want!

Reason #8: New movies from Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery are available on Hallmark+ the next day. Watching a new movie live is a special part of the fan experience, so we’re keeping it that way (without forcing the folks who can’t make the premiere to wait too long). Same goes for series like When Calls the Heart and Mistletoe Murders.

Reason #9: Hallmark+ can be gifted to others! You’ll just need the recipient’s details when you submit the gift order here.

Hallmark+ Benefits  

Now that you have the basic facts, let’s get into all the benefits—aka why Hallmark+ is totally worth it, whether you pick a monthly membership or an annual one. (But just so you know, an annual one comes with a few extra perks! 🤭)

All told, the benefits add up to a $400 value…which means this membership more than pays for itself!

#1: You can stream your faves all year long. Literally WHENEVER. Having your comfort content available to you 24/7 is everything. Life is hard enough to schedule without also having barriers to the shows and movies you love. Catch up and/or rewatch seasons of When Calls the Heart, The Way Home, and Finding Mr. Christmas when it works best for you.

#2: That also means it can be Christmas whenever you’re ready. My (Sara’s) mom loves watching Christmas with Holly multiple times a year, so when she starts to get her Christmas itch, Hallmark+ makes it so she doesn’t have to wait. And if you have a favorite throwback, you can even search Hallmark movies by year!! 😍

#3: You get REWARDED for JOINING! You’ll be automatically enrolled in our Crown Rewards loyalty program (if you aren’t already) which lets you earn points. The points become Reward Dollars that you redeem at Hallmark stores and Hallmark.com.

#4: You get REWARDED for WATCHING! Hallmark+ has a beautiful little thing called the Stream & Redeem program that lets you earn points just by doing what you love: watching Hallmark movies and series. And remember, points = Reward Dollars.

#5: You get REWARDED for STAYING! Every month that you’re subscribed to Hallmark+, you get a $5 shopping coupon that you can use in stores or at Hallark.com.

#6: You get custom card discounts. 30% off custom invitations, announcements and holiday photo cards.

#7: Your purchases earn you more. As a member, you’ll get up to 50% more Crown Rewards points on everything you buy. 🛍️

#8: You hit the card jackpot! As a Hallmark+ member, you get a FREE greeting card, in real life, every month. Every. Month! 🤯 All you have to do is go to your favorite Gold Crown store, give them your Crown Rewards number and pick out your card. Plus you can send unlimited eCards—including ones featuring Hallmark stars like Lacey Chabert, Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker, Nikki DeLoach, Tamera Mowry and Kevin McGarry 🤩!

#9: If you go for the annual subscription (which is a better deal if you watch Hallmark regularly), you get all that AND:

  • A welcome gift 💝
  • A birthday gift 🥳
  • An exclusive Keepsake Ornament 🎄

Yes, technically, those are three benefits, but we decided to group it into one big benefit. A mega-perk, if you will.

 

Because, well…we just really liked the whole “9 reasons, 9 benefits” thing. Titles are hard, guys.

Fun ideas for enjoying Hallmark+  

Okay, so you have access to all your favorite Hallmark content. You have oodles of great rewards and perks. You have better deals on the cards and gifts that help you show your loved ones you care.

Now it’s time to get watching! And we just so happen to have a few ideas to add extra fun and togetherness to your screen time.

  • Make a DIY punch card for the stuff on your watch list. This way you have some options narrowed down for the times you aren’t sure what to watch. There’s nothing worse than spending more time searching than watching! It will also be handy when there are Stream & Redeem events that you want to earn points for. And it’s fun to punch holes in stuff. 😂
  • Throw some watch parties! Marathons, premieres, finales—these are all great opportunities to spend time with the other Hallmark fans in your life. You can gush over the cuteness together, play Hallmark Christmas Movie Bingo and eat some delicious popcorn. And don’t forget that virtual watch parties are an option.
  • Join or start a fan forum. It can just be a casual text chain with the friends and family who want to have a place to share thoughts, feelings, and recommendations, or you can go to social media!

Basically, if you’re a Hallmark fan, we genuinely don’t think it makes sense for you not to sign up for Hallmark+. The perks and rewards you get as a member each month practically pay for your subscription! And you get 24/7 access to a treasure trove of feel-good content to boot. What more could you ask for?

(Yes, you could ask for a puppy. But sorry, there are rules about that sort of thing.)

So don’t wait—get in on these goodies at HallmarkPlus.com and sign up today!
