Hallmark Channel Has A Full Week Of New Movies For Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the underdog of the holiday season. Sadly, there are no movie marathons dedicated to the hour or so families spend at the dining room table using the ~*fancy*~ silverware for the holiday. But, there is the Hallmark Channel, which might not be airing anything turkey-specific, but does have a week full of new movies premiering throughout Thanksgiving.

The epicenter of the Thanksgiving holiday might be the meal — roasted turkey, candied yams, cranberry sauce, etc. — but this year, the Hallmark Channel is providing a backdrop of at least eight original new films. Yes, they are, admittedly, all about Christmas, but... well, Thanksgiving is used to being downright ignored, right?

A new Christmas movie will premiere at 8 p.m. each night of the week, starting Saturday, Nov. 23, until the following Saturday, Nov. 30. Now, to be fair, one look at Hallmark Channel's schedule for the month of November shows that there are new movies premiering almost every single night. However, a fresh lineup of holiday cheer might be exactly what some families need playing in the background of their Thanksgiving celebration. Especially if they only other option is football.

Saturday, Nov. 23: Christmas at Graceland

Hallmark Channel returns to Graceland! In this movie, Owen (Adrian Grenier) hires a nanny, Harper (Kaitlyn Doubleday), for his children after losing his wife.

Sunday, Nov. 24: Cherished Memories: A Gift To Remember 2
