Goodbye, Hallmark Movies Now. Hello, Hallmark Plus. Hallmark Media launched a brand new comprehensive streaming platform that the company says offers fans an “unparalleled Hallmark lifestyle experience.”
The new streaming service offers new original programming (ad-free!) and curated Hallmark classics, as well as a very unique feature: exclusive benefits and rewards, including monthly Hallmark Gold Crown Store coupons and the ability to accumulate additional rewards for watching content on the platform and making in-store purchases.
“Hallmark Plus marks a seminal moment for Hallmark,” Mike Perry, president & CEO, Hallmark, said in a statement. “By intertwining new, rich content experiences with tangible rewards and premium Hallmark gifts, we are delivering a unique, new program that reflects our commitment to spreading joy through our deeply beloved brand touchpoints.”
Here’s everything we know about Hallmark Plus.

A Hallmark Plus subscription costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. This is $2 more than a subscription to Hallmark Movies Now.

Where is Hallmark Plus available?
At the moment, Hallmark Plus is only available in the United States.
We’ll keep you posted if the service becomes available in other countries.
Can I watch Hallmark Channel live on Hallmark Plus?
You won’t be able to watch Hallmark Channel programming live on Hallmark Plus. Movies that premiere on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery will likely make their way to Hallmark Plus eventually, but you won’t be able to watch live television on the streaming platform.
Hallmark Channel is included in many cable TV packages, but if you’ve cut the cord there are a few other options to help you watch. Hallmark Channel now has a partnership with Peacock so you can watch new movies on the streaming platform the day after they air with a subscription.
You can also access Hallmark Channel via Philo, Sling TV, Frndly TV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and Fubo. While Hallmark Movies Now is the network’s streaming arm, you cannot access new movies right away, so if you’re looking to watch new Hallmark Channel originals immediately upon their release, you’ll need access to the channel.
What shows and movies are coming to Hallmark Plus?
There is a great mix of all-new original content coming to Hallmark Plus, including movies, new scripted series and reality programming. Take a look at some of the offerings that will be coming to the platform:
