What’s Coming to Hallmark Channel in January 2026
Hallmark is kicking off the new year with sandy beaches, Australian adventures, jungle romance, undercover intrigue, and a dash across Italy. We’re traveling around the world with some of your favorite Hallmark stars! Here’s everything premiering this January on Hallmark Channel. Updated February 5, 2026
Eagle-eyed Hallmark Content Creator HallmarkEnthusiast247 on Instagram noticed that new movies had appeared on Hallmark’s webite. Let’s take a look at what Hallmark has in store for us in January. (In addition to the long winter’s nap we’re going to need after Countdown to Christmas wraps!)
Saturday, January 3 — Lost in Paradise
When the founder of a high-end fashion company gets stranded on a “deserted” island with a chef, the two must work together to survive—only to discover something even more unexpected: love.
Starring: Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding
Tropical romance + survival adventure = the perfect warm-weather escape in the middle of winter. Plus we have it on good authority that legendary costume designer Keith Nielsen is behind the looks on this film.
Saturday, January 10 — A Melbourne Match
Travel writer Georgie flies to Melbourne for an assignment and meets Zach, an ex-Australian footballer who becomes her tour guide. As he shows her his city, he also shows her how to slow down and enjoy life.
Starring: Mallory Jansen and Ryan Corr
Fun fact: Mallory wrote, starred in, and executive produced this movie set in her home town of Melbourne!
Saturday, January 17 — Love on the Amazon
Gabby travels deep into the Amazon rainforest to reach her sister, a researcher living in the region. Along the way, she teams up with Ryder, a rugged riverboat captain who knows the terrain – and may just open her heart.
Starring: Jaicy Elliot and Rafael de La Fuente
Expect adventure, lush scenery, and a romance with a wild-side spark.
Saturday, January 24 — Caught by Love
While on a personal journey of self-discovery, a resort guest is pulled into an undercover investigation involving stolen jewels. What starts as a quiet retreat soon turns into an adventure – and a surprising love story.
Starring: Rachael Leigh Cook and Luke Macfarlane
Saturday, January 31 — Missing the Boat
Strangers Kelly and Parker are both enjoying an Italian cruise… until they accidentally miss the ship at a port stop. Forced to team up, they race across southern Italy in hopes of catching up with the boat—and maybe catching feelings along the way in this Maclain Nelson directed film.
Starring: Emilie Ullerup and Kristoffer Polaha
Romantic chaos + gorgeous scenery + two likable leads = a can’t-miss finale to the month.
Fun fact: Kristoffer Polaha and Emilie Ullerup appeared together in Hearts of Christmas in 2016. Looks like a reunion has been a long time coming.
Plus: When Calls the Heart Returns
Hearties, mark your calendars: the new season of When Calls the Heart premieres Sunday, January 4.
