Hallmark Channel Christmas Scavenger Hunt

Those closest to me know how much this time of year means to me. So many memories are wrapped up in how I celebrate, remember my mom, and forge ahead creating new traditions with my own family.

Funny how things change as your kids get older. Now that my kiddo is a tween (eeek!), one of the best parts of the holiday season is just spending time together. For us that includes balancing holiday getaways and time at home with some hot cocoa, a great blanket, and tuning into Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas. It’s totally age appropriate for her and every movie gets us into the spirit of Christmas. I wait for this all year long. This year there’s even more excitement as it’s Hallmark Channel’s 10th Anniversary Countdown to Christmas and we are celebrating at home and here on the blog, thanks to this sponsored post.

In this post:

  • All you need to know about Countdown to Christmas schedule
  • Scoop on this Sunday’s Hallmark Channel movie premiere, “Christmas Scavenger Hunt” – Sunday, Nov. 3rd at 8pm/7c
  • Giveaway on Hallmark website: 41 Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments and a Beautiful Balsam Hill Christmas Tree
  • Giveaway here at FINDING DEBRA: Visa gift card and Hallmark holiday items
  • New, updated Hallmark Channel Advent Calendar PRINTABLE (a big hit last year when I premiered it)

Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas – 10th Anniversary SCOOP

Hallmark Channel is THE destination for all things holiday related and this year it’s better than ever.

  • (24) twenty-four original movies on Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas AND

That’s 40 original movies! I’m ready to get started this weekend.

 “Christmas Scavenger Hunt” – Sunday, Nov. 3rd at 8pm/7c

Let’s take a quick peek at this weekend’s “Christmas Scavenger Hunt”:

Plot: When Belinda (Kim Shaw) heads back to her hometown for the holidays, things get complicated when she is forced to team up with her ex, Dustin (McGarry), at the town’s annual Christmas scavenger hunt.

That gets me excited, and let me add some additional fun we can tune into. Mark your calendars:

  • 5 nights of Thanksgiving AND
  • 12 days to Christmas

You can check out all 40 holiday movies all season long on Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas  (here) and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Miracles of Christmas (here)!

    Christmas is very special to me, I have a lot of really wonderful memories from my childhood with christmas. My birthday is within the same week as christmas, so I would always get extra excited. I love everything about christmas! The lights, the snow, the cozy blankets and heavy sweaters. I love waking up on christmas and opening presents, and now that im a parent I love it even more! The look in my kids’ eyes when they wake up, it really warms my heart.

    The Holidays mean many things! It means decorating the tree with all of our memorable ornaments, celebrations with family and at church, celebrating our Savior’s birth, watching Christmas movies while drinking hot cocoa, and sending out Christmas cards in the mail.

    The holidays mean everything to me! 3 years ago over Thanksgiving we found out while serving overseas, I couldn’t have kids, it was the worst day of my life. Then, just before Christmas we got a message from friends at work, they had a relative that was considering giving up their little girl to adoption and they’d heard we were looking for a child. Things just seemed to happen without really trying. I can’t describe it. We hadn’t even really considered our options and there she was on our doorstep just a few weeks later! Sometimes things just are. So 3 years ago we got the greatest Christmas gift imaginable. Last year it was made official and we had our first family Christmas together. This year we are so looking forward to our second, this time she is 6 and understands what Christmas is about! It really is a magic season.
