Hallmark Three Wise Men & a Baby
Hallmark’s new Christmas movie, “Three Wise Men & a Baby,” has broken a Hallmark viewing record. In terms of same-day, live viewing, it’s now the most-watched Hallmark movie of not just the year, but all the way through 2019.
‘Three Wise Men & a Baby’ Earned More than 3.6 Million Live Viewers
The Twitter account @SleepyKittyPaw, using statistics from ShowbuzzDaily, compiled the ratings for Hallmark’s Christmas movies as of November 16. These numbers are live viewing numbers only and do not include Live+2, Live+3, or any other delayed views after the premiere.
The ratings revealed that “Three Wise Men & a Baby” had rocketed into first place as Hallmark’s most-watched movie of all of 2022, including both Christmas and non-Christmas movies. But it also broke records reaching back to 2019.
What happens when you team up Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes & Andrew Walker for Christmas? You get Hallmark’s highest ratings not just of year, but since 2019!
