Hallmark Movies Now Does Not Live Stream 2019 Movies

On Facebook, one viewer asked if the Countdown to Christmas movies would be available on Hallmark Movies Now. The page answered: “While HMN will have its own set of Christmas movies, exclusive to the service, the new 2019 Christmas movies will only be available on our cable channels.”
