O Little Christmas Market
This week, Hallmark’s 2026 Christmas in July celebration continues with O Little Christmas Market, the second movie in this year’s lineup. At the center is a charming small-town Christmas market, a talented miniature artist determined to protect it, and an unexpected meet-cute that quickly becomes a lot more complicated than either person bargained for. We’re breaking down whether this holiday romance delivers enough Christmas magic to make it worth adding to your watchlist.
O Little Christmas Market premiered on Saturday, July 11, 2026 as part of Hallmark’s Christmas in July 2026. You can stream it on Hallmark+ the day after it premieres. Learn more about how to get Hallmark+ for free with a library card.
