Will There Be a Mistletoe Murders Season 3 on Hallmark Channel?
Since Mistletoe Murders Season 2 just wrapped on Hallmark Channel, fans are already wondering will there be a Mistletoe Murders Season 3. With lingering questions after the finale, cozy mystery viewers are searching for any clues about what might come next.
Both seasons of Mistletoe Murders are currently available to stream on Hallmark+.
The short answer?
Hallmark has not officially announced a Season 3 yet.
The longer answer?
There are some helpful clues – including filming timelines and Hallmark’s typical renewal patterns – that give us a clearer picture of what could happen next.
Let’s break it all down.
What Is Mistletoe Murders?
Mistletoe Murders is Hallmark’s holiday mystery series starring Sarah Drew as Emily Lane, a Christmas shop owner with a knack for solving crimes, alongside Peter Mooney as Detective Sam Wilner.
The series is based on the Audible original mystery series created by Ken Cuperus, but the Hallmark Channel show is its own adaptation – which is why questions about renewals can sometimes get muddled between platforms.
Mistletoe Murders first premiered exclusively on Hallmark’s streaming platform, Hallmark+, in fall 2024. The network later brought the series to Hallmark Channel in fall 2025, airing Season 1 followed immediately by the Season 2 premiere, a rollout that helped the show quickly build a loyal fanbase drawn to its festive charm, serialized mystery, and character-driven storytelling.
Has Hallmark Renewed Mistletoe Murders for Season 3?
The Official Status
As of December 29, 2025
- No official renewal announcement from Hallmark Channel
- No confirmed episode order or production start
- No premiere date
While there have been social media posts and fan speculation suggesting Season 3 is “confirmed,” none of those claims have been backed by Hallmark’s press releases or official channels.
That distinction matters – especially with a show that has a passionate fanbase and a lot of online chatter.
When Did Mistletoe Murders Season 2 Film?
This is where things get interesting.
Season 2 filmed from late March through late May 2025, with production taking place in and around Toronto, Canada. The shoot lasted roughly two months – a fairly standard window for Hallmark mystery series.
Despite being set during Christmas, Mistletoe Murders – like most Hallmark holiday projects – is filmed well outside the winter season to allow time for post-production and scheduling within Hallmark’s fall and holiday lineup.
What Does the Season 2 Filming Schedule Tell Us About Season 3?
While a Season 3 renewal hasn’t been announced, the Season 2 timeline gives us a logical framework for what could happen next if the show is renewed.
Based on Hallmark’s typical patterns:
- A renewal decision would likely come before spring
- Filming would most likely begin March or April
- Production would likely wrap by late May or early June
That timeline would position Season 3 for a potential early holiday-season premiere, consistent with how the series has previously rolled out.
Until Hallmark makes an official announcement, all filming timelines remain speculative.
Why Hasn’t Hallmark Announced Season 3 Yet?
Because Mistletoe Murders straddles cozy mystery and holiday programming, it’s likely being evaluated alongside Hallmark’s broader fall and Christmas strategy rather than rushed into an early renewal announcement.
What Fans Are Hoping to See in Mistletoe Murders Season 3
While we wait for official word, fans have been vocal about what they’d love to see if While we wait for official word on the future of Mistletoe Murders, fans have been vocal about what they’d love to see if the show returns — and the wish list keeps growing.
- More episodes per season
- Deeper exploration of Emily and Sam’s relationship
- A continued balance of cozy Christmas vibes and darker mystery elements
Some fans have even gone a step further, asking whether the series could eventually expand to two seasons per year rather than remaining strictly tied to the holiday schedule. That idea isn’t as far-fetched as it might sound. Series creator Ken Cuperus has previously noted that Emily’s shop is open year-round and that he’d love to write Mistletoe Murders stories set at any time of year – not just Christmas.
The enthusiasm is clearly there. The question is whether Hallmark sees an opportunity to grow Mistletoe Murders beyond a once-a-year holiday event and into a more flexible, ongoing mystery franchise.
So…Will There Be a Mistletoe Murders Season 3?
As soon as Hallmark makes an official announcement, we’ll update this post with confirmed details.
Until then, this remains one of the most closely watched renewal questions in the Hallmark lineup – and one fans are clearly not ready to let go of.
